Kalich

The Kalich (German: Kelchberg) is a 536 m high mountain in northern Bohemia, on whose summit plateau the remains of the former Kalich castle are to be found. Striking are the vertical 40 m high rock cliffs of phonolite at the summit, from which there is a good view. Its southern slope towards Třebušín (Triebsch) forms a terrace which formerly was under arable cultivation.
