Blaník is a mountain in the Czech Republic. Its height is 638 meters above sea level. The surrounding area is a small natural reservation.

Ancient legends are associated with this mountain. The legend says that a huge army of Czech knights led by sv. Václav (St. Wenceslas) sleeps inside the mountain. The knights will awake and help the Motherland if it is under ultimate assault. According to legend ultimate assault means that at least four hostile armies attack.In the Jára Cimrman's Theatre's play "Blaník", it was proved that this legend is not true because in 1968 at the end of the Prague Spring Czechoslovakia was attacked by five armies of the Warsaw pact and "in Blanik not a single leg moved".
