The Rudolfův kámen (German: Rudolfstein or Ostroh), near Jetřichovice (Dittersbach) in the Bohemian Switzerland is a hill, 484 m above sea level (HN).[1]

It was named in 1824 after Rudolf, 6th Prince Kinsky of Wchinitz and Tettau. Previously it had been called the Ostroh or Hoher Stein. A hut was built at the top. In good weather there are long views from the summit. The plateau is reached over 170 wooden and, in some cases stone, steps. The Rudolfstein was first climbed in 1824.
