The Panna (German Panna , also Jungfrau , 594 m) is a cone mountain in the Bohemian low mountain range on the right Elbe .
Location and surroundings
The Panna is located between the villages of Třebušín ( Triebsch ) and Homole u Panny ( Hummel ). On the summit are the barely recognizable remains of a medieval castle.
history
The Panna Castle was built in 1421 by Siegmund (also Sigismund, Zikmund) von Wartenberg on Tetschen . The purpose of the castle was to create a counterweight to the nearby Kelchburg , which was ruled by the Hussite leader Jan Žižka . He tried unsuccessfully to capture the castle in 1422 . A year later, however, Siegmund had the occupation abandoned because Žižka's position in the region had become too overwhelming.
After Jan Žižka's death, his brother Jaroslav took over the castle. This could hold up until 1437; then besieged troops of Siegmund von Wartenberg - led by Zbyněk Zajíc von Hazmburk - the Panna and were finally able to force Jaroslav Žižka's crew to give up because of their lack of food.
Since the radical Hussites were essentially defeated at this time, the castle had lost its importance for the Wartenbergs; the decline began. However, it must have been used later, as it is said to have been finally destroyed by Swedish troops in the Thirty Years' War in 1630 .
view
From the summit, the view extends east to Kalich ( Kelchberg ) and Sedlo ( Hoher Geltsch ) and to the southwest to Trojhora ( Dreiberg ) and Dlouhý vrch ( Langer Berg ).
Paths to the summit
The mountain can be climbed from Řepčice on a yellow marked hiking trail, which in parts corresponds to the old, partly still preserved castle trail.
