The Mrtvý vrch ( German Todtenberg , also Todtenwürgberg ) is a mountain in the Czech Republic on the border with Poland . It is located in the western Giant Mountains , 3 km north of Harrachov (Harrachsdorf) and 1 km east of the New World Pass (Novosvětské sedlo) , which separates the Giant Mountains from the Jizera Mountains . With a height of 1059 meters above sea level, it is the northernmost thousand in the Czech part of the Giant Mountains. The Milnice / Mielnica ( Millnitz ) flows around the mountain in the north and west .
The neighboring mountains of the Mrtvý vrch are in the north the Katzenstein ( Polish: Kocierz ), already in Silesia , in the east the Mumlavská Hora (Mummelberg) , in the southeast the Jakšín (Jaksche Berg) . Below the swampy saddle with the Mummelberg stands the Alfredsbaude (chata Alfrédka) , which was built in 1903 by Jan Nepomuk Count Harrach as a hunting lodge. The top is wooded with a young spruce forest with numerous clearings, some of which offer views of the Jizera Mountains. The south-western secondary peak is called Bílý vrch ( White Mountain , 1033 above sea level ).
There is no marked path to Mrtvý vrch. About 300 m southeast below the summit, a green marked path leads from the Neuweltpass, from which a small, unmarked path turns off in front of a small quarry and leads to the flat upper part of Mrtvý vrch.
history
The mountain was entirely on Bohemian territory until 1958; the border with Silesia was formed by the Millnitz valley. As part of a border adjustment Czechoslovakia acquired with the State Treaty of 10 October 1958 by Poland a section of the Izera railway between Novy Svet ( New World ) and the Iserviadukt including between the railway and the border river Jizera ( Iser located) border strip with the hamlets Tarniec ( hope valley) (today: Údolí Naděje) and Tkacze ( knitting houses ) (today: Mýtiny), in order to expand the stop there from Tkacze to the Harrachov train station. In return, Poland received a forest area of about the same size on the northern flank of the Mrtvý vrch.
