Blaník

關於

Velký Blaník, commonly known as Blaník (Czech pronunciation: [blaɲiːk]) is a mountain in the Czech Republic near Louňovice pod Blaníkem. The mountain and surrounding area is a protected landscape area. The peak is at 638 metres (2,093 ft) above sea level. Next to Velký Blaník (lit. 'great Blaník') is a smaller hill called Malý Blaník ('small Blaník').

The mountain has played an important role in Czech national mythology since the Middle Ages (together with the mountains Říp and Radhošť); therefore, during the era of the Czech National Revival, a stone quarried from Blaník was symbolically placed in the foundations of the newly built National Theatre in Prague.
