The Kleť (formerly also Plánská hora , German Schöninger ) is 1083 m highest mountain of the Blanský les (Blansk Forest) in the Czech Republic . The mountain is about 8 km north of the town of Český Krumlov and is a popular destination.
Because of its abundance of game, Kleť used to be a preferred hunting area in the Krumlov domain. Joseph Johann Nepomuk zu Schwarzenberg encouraged the tourist development of the mountain and had a stone observation tower built between 1822 and 1825, which was named Prince Joseph Tower in his honor . From the oldest stone observation tower in Bohemia you can see the Alps from a distance. On the initiative of Theresia zu Schwarzenberg , a mountain hut , the Theresiahütte , was built next to the tower .
The Kleť transmitter - a 175 m high transmitter mast - has been broadcasting television programs since 1959, and later also radio programs.
There are two amateur radio relays on the mountain.
Between 1958 and 1961, astronomy enthusiasts built an observatory on the Kle In themselves . The Kleť observatory at an altitude of 1070 m is the highest in Bohemia and has the largest lens telescope in the Czech Republic. The asteroid (2199) Klet was named after both the observatory and the mountain.
From the village of Krasetín-Podluží, located northeast of the mountain and belonging to the municipality of Holubov , a chairlift has been leading all year round over a length of 1783 m to the summit since 1961, overcoming a height difference of 383 m.
Every year the Kleť run starts from Český Krumlov. In winter the mountain is used for downhill skiing.
On the mountain slopes there are beech forest stands, parts of the mountain were declared a nature reserve in 1956, which covers an area of 0.65 km².
