The Křížový vrch (German Kreuzberg , formerly Wrabina / Vrabina ) is a 487 m high mountain in the Czech Republic .
It is located four kilometers southeast of the town of Stod in the Okres Plzeň-jih . The double peak lies in the Merklínská pahorkatina ( Merklin hill country ), a subunit of the Švihovská vrchovina ( Schwihauer hill country ). The mountain is bounded in the west by the Merklínka river and in the east by the Dnešický potok . Surrounding villages are - going clockwise from the north - Losina, Černotín, Přestavlky , Lažany, Maškrov, Líšina , Lelov, Lelovský Mlýn, Nový Mlýn and Stod.
The elevation also includes the sub-peaks Špičák (421 m) and the Horní ptačí vrch (457 m) in the southwest. The ascent from the chapel in the eastern village of Černotín via the old pilgrimage route is the shortest, it was designed as a nature trail. There are also other paths from Stod and Losina up the mountain.
In 1862 a church was built on the mountain, to which the Kreuzberg Association had a tower built in 1931, which was also designed as a lookout tower. From 1965 the mountain was no longer accessible due to military use by the Czechoslovak army . The church was to Ubikation rebuilt and set up on the tower as a lookout point of the air defenses. After the army cleared the facility in 1989, the unused structure fell into disrepair. In September 2004 the tower was made accessible again as a lookout tower.
