Recordist's notes
The highest mountain in the České středohoří, Milešovka (837m), also known as Hromová hora, Milleschauer, Donnersberg is the windiest place in the Czech Republic. The average wind speed is 30.5 km / h, with no wind on average 8 days a year, on average 280 days a year there is a strong wind, there are about 35 storms a year. If it is clear you can see from the top the Giant Mountains, the Jizera Mountains, the Šumava Mountains and sometimes the Alps. The Poet Petr Kabeš watched the weather at the Meteorological Observatory from 1974 to 1977. I tested how the wind could handle the stretched rubber band.
