This is Faltus Hill, on which lies the village Sobkovice. From here there is a beautiful view of Kralický Snežník, Suchý vrch and Bukova hora, Adam and Orlické mountains. Snežka can also be seen with good visibility. The most modern military hospital in Europe, designed for the most contagious infectious diseases and in case of biological warfare, can also be well observed in the village of Techonín. Faltus Hill rises high above the right slope of the Tichá Orlice valley, partly filled by the village of Sobkovice. The northern peak slopes to the village of Boritov, the northwestern and western slopes are already drained towards Divoká Orlice with the lower reservoir of the Pastvinská dam in the village of Nekor. While most of the surrounding hills in the Eagle Mountains and foothills are covered with forests, Faltus Hill has long been deforested and its rounded top is cultivated in the fields. The rock composition does not differ from the surroundings - the gneisses of the Orlické - Sněžnice crystalline rocks predominate, the western slope is partly covered by sandstones of Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian) age. The top part of Faltus Hill is without tourist markings. The yellow marked road from the adjacent Sobkovice passes through the eastern peak, where this route ascends from the Tichá Orlice valley with the Jamná railway station and from Jablonné nad Orlicí. From the road, which continues from Sobkovice to Boritov, a beautiful view opens up over the deep valley of Tichá Orlice to the eastern part of the Orlické Mountains with Suchý vrch. In Boritov, accessible from Breduvka (on road no. 11), there is a chapel with Calvary (from the beginning of the 19th century). Studenské skály are accessible through the adjacent village of Studené, and the yellow-marked path continues to the nearby Pastvinská dam. The origin of the name Faltusuv kopec Linguists say the surname Faltus comes from the Latin Valentinus, gradually distorted to Valtinus, Valtus, Faltus, Foltus, Faltys, or Foltys.
