Stožec ( German Schöber , also Großer Schöber , 665 m) is the name of a mountain in the Lusatian Mountains ( Lužické hory ) in northern Bohemia ( Czech Republic ).
Location and surroundings
The Stožec is part of the main ridge in the Lusatian Mountains and is located immediately west of the Stožecké sedlo ( Schöbersattel ), about 9 km southwest of Varnsdorf ( Warnsdorf ) and 8 km north of Nový Bor ( Haida ). On the southwest slope is the route of the medieval Old Prager Straße , recognizable as a partly deeply cut ravine . To the west runs the railway line of the Bohemian Northern Railway with the Jedlová station in the middle of the forest .
The watershed runs over the mountain between the catchment areas of the Elbe (to the North Sea ) and Oder (to the Baltic Sea ). The headwaters of the Kamenice ( Kamnitz ), which flows into the Elbe in Hřensko ( Herrnskretschen ), are located on the southern slope . The striking rocks on the ridge are as Jelení kameny ( deer stones ) (658 m), and Konopáč ( hemp cake known) (676 m).
The bunkers of the Czechoslovak Wall from 1937 can still be found in the area today. This area of the border fortifications in the Lusatian Mountains is also known as the Schöber line.
As early as 1778 the Austrians built a fortification on the sandstone plateau northeast of the summit, but it no longer exists.
geology
The long ridge is composed of sandstone of Cretaceous . Tertiary magmas broke through these sediments in several places . The rocks in the summit area are made of olivine basalt .
Paths to the summit
- A green marked hiking trail leads along the Old Prague Street , from which a fork leads to the Konopáč rock .
- It is possible to cross the entire ridge via unmarked paths; the Stožecké sedlo can also serve as a starting point.
