The Hradiště (German Burgstadtl ) is a mountain in the Duppau Mountains in the Czech Republic . It is located in the area of the Hradiště military training area in Okres Karlovy Vary and is not open to the public. The partially forested mountain is the highest point of the Podkrušnohorská oblast ( Lower Ore Mountains) and the Duppau Mountains. Together with the Malé hradiště ( Kleiner Burgstadtl , 926.2 m) it forms the core of the Hradišťská hornatina ( Burgstadtler mass ). The name of the military training area is derived from the mountain.

geology
The Hradiště is part of the oval caldera of a tertiary stratovolcano and consists of tephrite and leucitite .
history
In the 13th century there was a medieval castle on the mountain, about which no written records exist. It is believed that it was a predecessor of Duppau Castle .
With the establishment of the Hradiště military training area , the mountain became inaccessible in the 1950s.
Hradiště Castle
All that remains of the castle are the remains of the railing, which have been damaged by the current military use.
The castle was accessed from the west through an irregular outer bailey. To the north above was the castle core , which was probably surrounded by a kennel . The hall was in the northern part of the castle core.
