Range Bohemian Ranges
Eight short P100 walks around Plzeň became a full day of summit-finding: obvious towers were not always on the correct bump, and the final hill, Bambule, arrived with the last light.

A 1 km dusk outing above Strašice, where a bad shortcut through young spruce led to a quiet true summit, wartime bomb history and the town lighting up below.

A short walk above Červené Poříčí to a 543 m summit where locals carry stones uphill, a painted penguin sits on the cairn and the mountain jokingly keeps growing.

Ten minutes above Švihov, a thermometer and 1940 survey marker occupy a wooded summit enclosed by much older earthworks: the remains of a late-Bronze-Age hillfort.

A concrete survey block stamped 1938 stands beside Běleč’s summit picnic table. The short forest walk also crosses protected old woodland on a hill remembered locally as a wartime refuge.

A 1.6 km forest out-and-back above Chudenice where the mapped summit looked slightly low, so I continued about 30 m to an old survey remnant and a more convincing natural high point.

A 1.4 km visit to Velká Doubrava, where 19th-century surveying, Cold War radar remains and an active paragliding launch share one unusually busy 727 m summit.

Velký Bítov’s cross, antenna and picnic table make the lower southern bump look conclusive. The mapped 713 m summit is quieter and farther north, beside the remains of old triangulation.

Visitors drive to Koráb’s lookout tower and busy western top. My P100 objective lay farther east, reached by a 4 km ridge walk linking the mountain’s public summit with its quieter natural counterpart.
