Komáří Hůrka
Komáří hůrka (german: Mückenberg) is one of the highest mountains in the Eastern Ore Mountains on the territory of the Czech Republic. Location and surroundings Komáří hůrka lies northeast of Krupka (''Graupen'') and southeast of Cínovec (''Böhmisch Zinnwald'') immediately on the steepest section of the Ore Mountain escarpment. As a result, it is a good observation point, from which there are views in almost all directions of the compass. In addition the characteristic appearance of a fault block mountain range with its steep escarpment falling away to the south is very clearly seen from this part of the Ore Mountains.
