Rosenberg (Růžovský vrch, Czech Republic)

Short facts

  • Růžová
  • Viewpoint/viewing tower

At 619 m, the Rosenberg (Růžovský vrch) is the highest point in the Bohemian Switzerland National Park.

The mountain is one of the most striking mountains in Bohemian Switzerland. Its volcanic origins and free-standing location shape the landscape from afar.

With a height of 619 meters, it is considered the highest elevation in the region made of tertiary basalt. Its steep structure and isolated shape give it the nickname "Děčíner Fudschijama".

Due to the dense forest and vegetation, views are only possible in the winter months.

As the largest part of the Rosenberg is protected as the first zone of the Bohemian Switzerland National Park and thus as a national nature reserve, the corresponding nature conservation regulations must be observed.

Caspar David Friedrich was also fascinated by the striking elevations of Bohemian Switzerland. He had often seen the landmarks from afar. In May 1808, he set off to finally draw some of them up close. During the hike, which lasted several days, he produced an interesting sketch showing Rosenberg and Kaltenberg from various distances. Immediately after his return, he processed his impressions in the painting "Bohemian Landscape". Both elevations also make prominent appearances in later works.
