About

Říp ([ˈɦora ˈr̝iːp], [Sankt] Georgsberg) is a 461 metres (1, 512 ft) high solitary hill in the Lower Ohře Table in the Czech Republic. It is located 20 km (12 mi) southeast of Litoměřice. According to national legend, it is the place where the first Czechs settled. The mountain and the rotunda on its top are protected as a national cultural monument. Říp, being visible from great distance, has always been an important orientation point in the Bohemian scenery and has attracted attention since the oldest times.
