Sedlo
summit · 726 m · České středohoří
The fourth-highest summit of the České středohoří — a 726 m volcanic plug with a sharp rocky ridge, protected as a nature reserve since 1968.
Sedlo is the highest point of the Verneřice part of the České středohoří and the dominant hill of the country around Úštěk and Liběšice. It is a volcanic plug: the summit ridge is a line of rock outcrops and scree, and near the top the columnar jointing of the tephrite forms a small “stone amphitheatre”. The summit area has been a nature reserve since 1968, protecting remnants of the original deciduous forest.
Marked trails climb it from several sides — Úštěk, Habřina, Trnobran, Horní Vysoká and Lovečkovice.

A Night in Úštěk
A two-day solo crossing of the eastern České středohoří: a Friday evening at the Ostré Calvary, a night in Úštěk, then over Sedlo and the Kalich ruin down to the railway at Křešice.
