Děvín

People have used this ridge for at least 30,000 years. Archaeologists trace settlement here through Celtic tribes and Roman-era camps back to Cro-Magnon hunters, and the summit itself carries the earthworks of a large hillfort, refortified from the Iron Age into the Great Moravian period. It sat along a wider string of fortified summits in the Pavlov Hills, with the ancient amber-trading route up the Dyje valley passing close by. A television transmitter has stood on the mountain's higher peak since the late 1970s, its lower deck built as a viewing platform looking out over the Dyje lowlands and the Nové Mlýny reservoirs. Since 1946 the whole massif has been protected as a national nature reserve, one of the region's earliest, safeguarding steppe grassland and alpine plant species found almost nowhere else in the country.
