Location and surrounding areaEdit
The Špičák or Spitzberg lies two kilometres southwest of Boží Dar on the plateau of the Ore Mountains in a strict nature reserve. For nature conservation reasons its summit is not open to the public. At the western foot of the summit there is an observation point near the ruins of the Spitzberghäuser, including those of the inn, Zur Wunderblume. To the northwest on the Schwarzwasser is the Myslivny Reservoir.
GeologyEdit
The Špičák is the highest nephiline basalt summit (Kuppe) in Central Europe.
ViewsEdit
From the western foot of the Špičák there is a panoramic view of the Ore Mountain ridge towards the west between Plešivec (Pleßberg) and Auersberg. To the south the view offers, where it is not blocked by trees, views of the valley of the River Eger.
HistoryEdit
Towards the end of the 19th century a wooden observation tower was erected on the summit, the key to which had to be borrowed from the Spitzberghäusern. However, after a few years the tower fell into ruins due to the effects of the weather and had to be demolished.
