Officials say the Czech Republic’s highest mountain, Snežka, is
slightly higher than previously believed. The mountain, in the Krkonoše
range in north-eastern Bohemia, is given on maps as being 1,602 metres
above sea level. However, that is the height of a triangulation station on
Snežka; a land surveyor recently discovered that the highest point on the
mountain is actually 1,603.3 metres above sea level, a spokesperson for the
Krkonoše National Park Administration said on Tuesday.
