The highest peak of the Hostýn Hills, over 860 metres high, rises about 30 km east of Kroměříž above the village of Rajnochovice. The summit is surrounded by a nature reserve protecting remnants of the original mixed forest close to a primeval forest.
On the summit stands a 35-metre lookout tower of wood and steel, opened by the Podhostýnský microregion in 2015 in place of an older wooden tower. In good visibility the viewing platform offers views of the Beskydy and Jeseníky mountains and the ridges in Slovakia. The tower can only be reached on foot along hiking trails from the surrounding villages.
