Chřibsky Hill

Chřibský vrch is a prominent forested rock massif about 2 km south of Chřibská and 1 km north of the U Křížového buk saddle. The mountain has two peaks, which were previously referred to as Malý and Velký, but their names were confused. The lower but more massive northwestern peak (577m) was referred to as Velký Chřibský vrch, while the higher and steeper, but more distant from the town, southeastern peak (621m) was called Malý Chřibský vrch. Several rocky spurs protrude from the slopes of the higher cumulus-shaped peak, under which there is a larger rubble field on the southern side.

From the summit itself, covered with a sparse beech forest, there is only a limited view of the valley to Krásná Pole and Horní Chřibská with the hills Plešivec and Žulovec in the background. However, partial views are also possible from the rocks on the slopes of the ascent route, especially to the south of the forested hills between Jedlová and Studenec. In the west, we can see the more distant Růžovský vrch, Děčínský Sněžník and some hills of Saxon Switzerland, such as the two-peaked Zschirnstein or the elongated Winterberg. Chamois can be seen on the rubble fields.
