About
Luční hora (literally '"Meadow Mountain"; Polish: Łączna Góra, German: Hochwiesenberg) is a mountain in the Giant Mountains mountains in the Czech Republic. It is located in the territory of Špindlerův Mlýn. It is the second highest mountain in the Czech Republic. The mountain’s peak is flat and relatively broad. Avalanches are not unusual on the north and west faces. The mountain is located in Zone I of Krkonoše National Park.
Geologically, the mountain is formed of schist, shaped into clusters, intersected by quartzite. In the Czech Republic it is a unique example of cruised and polygonal soils. Cryoplanatial terraces and stone seas can also be found here.
