Description
Rip Mountain also known as Rip Hill, is a 459 m solitary hill rising up from the central Bohemian flatland where, according to legend, the first Czechs settled. Rip is located 20 km south-east of Litomerice, Czech Republic. According to a traditional legend, first recorded by the ancient Czech chronicler Cosmas of Prague in the early 12th century, Rip hill was the place where the first Slavs, led by Praotec Czech (Forefather Bohemus), settled. The land was named after the leader. In the 16th century, the legend was revived by Vaclav Hajek of Libocany who claimed that Czech was buried in the nearby village of Ctineves and, later on, by Alois Jirasek in his Old Bohemian Legends from 1894.
