The Kamenec (German Steinberg ) is 1072 m the highest mountain in the Czech part of the Gratzener Bergland (Novohradské hory, called Freiwald in Austria).
Location and landscape
The Kamenec is located three kilometers southwest of Pohoří na Šumavě in the southeast of the Okres Český Krumlov . The border with Austria runs 400 m from the summit on the western and southern slopes. The northwestern sub-summit of the Black Wall ( 1071 m above sea level ), which is 1 km away, is already in Austria. Two other secondary peaks of the massif are the Haubenberg ( 1036 m above sea level ) to the west and the Taufelberg ( 1042 m above sea level ) to the north-west .
The mountain rises in the main ridge of the Gratzener Berge, which runs very winding here and has several peaks around 1000 meters. To the east it follows roughly the borderline. About 2 km to the east is the Sepplberg ( 1004 m above sea level ) with the triangle between Bohemia , Lower and Upper Austria and the source of the Pohořský potok . Then Eichelberg ( 1054 m above sea level ) and Tischberg ( 1063 m above sea level ) follow . The north Gratzener mountains are morphologically separated by two running north parallel valleys during Pohořský brook north to Maltsch (Malše) drained, the springing on Eichelsberg flows Lainsitz semicircle around it, and then turns to the north-east. In the northeast rises the Střední vrch ( 955 m nm ). To the west lies the valley of the uppermost Maltsch with the places Hacklbrunn and Unter Hüttenhof . To the south is the Kalte Kuchl basin , behind which lies the village of Rosenhof with its castle and ponds, and the small town of Sandl . This area drains to the Waldaist . West of the Sandl pass landscape is the Viehberg ( 1112 m above sea level ).
The watershed between the Elbe (Maltsch, Lainsitz) and the Danube (Feld- and Waldaist), the European main watershed , runs over the ridge line Viehberg - Haubenberg / Kamenec - Sepplberg , while the Austrian-Czech border runs over the Black Wall and the Maltsch northwestern and then leads west. The border line runs on the western and southern slopes with the corner between the Kamenec summit and Haubenberg.
There are rock walls and a survey point on the granodiorite summit .
history
The areas north-east belonged to the Bohemian court district Gratzen which, although largely German-speaking, after the fall of the Habsburg monarchy to Czechoslovakia came. 300 m southwest of the summit are the ruins of an inn. One and a half kilometers north was at 995 m above sea level. M. the abandoned settlement Pavlina (Paulina), in which a glassworks was operated between 1780 and 1850. It was abandoned after 1945 and the corridors were researched again; only a cross reminds of the place.
Between 1955 and 1989, the mountain in the restricted area was directly on the Iron Curtain and was inaccessible.
Today the north-south long-distance hiking trail (05), part of the European long-distance hiking trail E6 , and together the Nordwaldkammweg (105), which represents the historical Austrian-Bohemian border, runs here. It passes the Kamenec to the southeast.
