Klínovec
One of our "thousands", the highest peak of the Ore Mountains, is called Klínovec and with an altitude of 1,244 m it boldly ranks among the highest peaks in the Czech Republic. The very top of Klínovec is flatter and its dominant feature is a lookout tower with a TV tower and a hotel, in addition to which you would find several ski slopes and lifts.
