Conical peak of Milešovka, nicknamed "The Queen of Ceské stredohorí", is majesticly risen above the other peaks of Central Bohemian Uplands. The average wind speed on its summit is 8.5 m/s, so Milešovka is the most windy place in the Czech lands. Only 8 days during all the year there is windlessness on this place.
