Since 1996 the rocky summit area of the mountain together with the neighboring Malý Jelení vrch has been a natural monument under state protection on a total of 7.9 hectares .

Immediately south of the mountain was once the municipality of Svébořice ( Schwabitz ), which was demolished around 1947 because of the establishment of the Ralsko military training area .
