Spravedlnost , (German name Iricht , more rarely Irigt ) is a legendary mountain in the far east of Bohemian Switzerland . The 533 m high volcanic cone is the local mountain of the village Doubice (Daubitz).
The basalt peak rises south of the locality Nová Doubice (Neudaubitz) on the old road to Chřibská (Kreibitz), in the south of the mountain are the houses belonging to Chřibská Liščí Bělidlo (Irichtbleiche). The Iricht is characterized by the fern populations that thrive in its forests and reach an extraordinary height. A striking rock formation consisting of five basalt columns on the northeast slope is called Malá Spravedlnost (Little Iricht).
Before it was opened up for tourism, the summit of Iricht was the place of execution for the Kreibitz rulers. The executioner last performed his work on the mountain in 1579. In the 19th century, the mountain became a popular destination because of the view of the Kreibitzbach (Chřibská Kamenice) and Daubitzbach (Doubický potok) valleys. In 1886 a small refuge was built on the plateau by the Daubitz local group from the mountain association for northernmost Bohemia , which no longer exists today. At the same time, the ascent to the mountain was secured and the summit plateau was secured with a cast-iron railing.
Because of the high growth of trees, the mountain now only allows a view of Chřibská to the south, where the summit plateau falls 40 m deep.
Just like the German name Iricht goes back to the past of the mountain, the Czech name Spravedlnost, in German justice , also refers to it.
Connected to the mountain is the legend of the Daubitz master baker and usurer Hörndl (called Rohál in Czech parlance ), who, in the face of death, refused to confess and found no rest. His ghost is said to have been driven out of the village to the Iricht.
