The Buková hora (German Zinkenstein or Buchberg ) is a little prominent mountain in the Bohemian Central Uplands on the right Elbe in the Czech Republic . The mountain is the highest point of the fourteen mountain ridge. The Buková hora television tower is located on its top .
Location and surroundings
The Buková hora is 12 km south of Děčín and 15 km east of Ústí nL It is located west of the district Příbram of the city of Verneřice ( Wernstadt ). The communities Těchlovice ( Tichlowitz ) and Malé Březno nad Labem ( Kleinpriesen ) are located directly at the foot of the mountain in the Elbe Valley . To the south of the Hummelbach valley lies the small district Leština ( Leschtina ) and the well-known museum village Zubrnice ( Saubernitz ).
The now abandoned villages of Stará Homole ( Althummel ) and Vitín ( Wittine ) were once located on its south-western slope, and to the south is the also no longer existing village of Velké Stínky ( Großzinken ).
The Bobří potok ( Bieberbach ) rises on the eastern slope , which is best known for the Bobří soutěska ( Bieberklamm ) east of Verneřice. The Ledové jámy ( ice cave ) is located on the western slope of the mountain .
The 223.4 m high transmission tower of the North Bohemian TV station has stood on the summit since 1962, although it is not open to the public. In the summit area is the old Tetschen chalet , known today as Děčínská bouda and referred to in old travel guides as a log cabin , which has only recently been used again as a public inn.
history
The most famous visitors are certainly the early world traveler Alexander von Humboldt and Emperor Joseph II , who climbed the mountain on October 14, 1778.
In 1905 the log house , which still exists today, was built as a refuge.
view
From a rocky reef on the east side, which is called Humboldtová vyhlídka ( Humboldt view), the view wanders mainly westward over the narrow basin of Ústí nad Labem ( Aussig ) and on to the hills of the Eastern Ore Mountains . To the east there is a view from the terrace of the Děčínská bouda over the hilly landscape of the Verneřicke středohoří to the Lusatian Mountains .
