Teleček
Peak · 397.4 m · Czechia
Checked
Teleček (399 m) is Prague's highest point, though technically it lies on the city boundary near Sobín, about 1.2 km south of built-up areas and 0.5 km north of the D5 motorway. It is a gentle ridge crest rather than a true peak.
About 450 metres east of the marker stands trigonometric point No. 21, Na vrchách, measured at 397.36 metres above sea level. The ridge crossing here is really just the tail of a gently sloping shoulder running east-northeast, whose actual summit, Růžová (410 m), rises north of Rudná well outside Prague, before the same inconspicuous ridge fades northwest toward Červený Újezd. Even Kopanina, the peak geographers actually credit as Prague's highest, is only a secondary bump on Růžová's flank. By the stricter test of prominence, at least 15 metres of independent rise, Prague's true highest peak turns out to be a different hill again: Čihadlo (388 m), the last summit of the Brdy Hřebeny.
