The Blatenský vrch (German: Plattenberg) is one of the mountains over 1,000 metres high in the Ore Mountains of Central Europe in the immediate vicinity of Horní Blatná (Platten mining town).

History

The mountain massif consists mainly of granite. By the Early Modern Era there was a lively tin and iron ore mining industry in the area of the mountain, on the basis of which, the neighbouring mining town of Platten (now Horní Blatná) was founded in 1532.
