Vysoký kámen (738 m.) (visit link) lies 5 km south of Kunžak and 1 km north of Kaproun. It is the highest place in Czech Canada (visit link) and in the whole Jindrichuv Hradec District. It's a very special cluster of stones.

On the massive granite block of the rock group is placed a 6.3 m high reinforced concrete pillar indicating a significant trigonometric point of the first order, which was first set out in 1842.

Earlier, the border of the Prague, Olomouc and Pasov dioceses had reached this summit.
Visit Instructions:
1. A closeup photo of the waymark with your GPS, or (a part of) you in it, is required.
2. An area photo including the waymark in the view is highly appreciated.
