history
Settlement of the summit plateau can be traced back to the Neolithic . Found grave mounds are to be assigned to the Aunjetitz culture and the Central Danube culture ( Středodunajská kultura ). Around 700 BC A fortified settlement of the Iron Age Welatitz-Kritschener culture ( Velaticko-podolská kultura ) arose on the mountain ; During this time, the plateau was probably cleared. The most recent finds can be assigned to the Old Slavonic period. Up until the beginning of the 20th century, traces of ramparts and ditches were clearly visible on the plateau.
Limestone has been quarried on the mountain since the Middle Ages.
