The Radhošť (Czech pronunciation: [ˈradɦoʃc]) is a mountain in the Czech Republic 1129 meters above sea level with a view of the Beskydy mountains. A chapel (built 1898) and a sculpture of Saints Cyril and Methodius are located on the summit and desecrate the Slavic sacred site. The mountain is a popular destination for religious pilgrimages. Referred to as the place of Slavic god Radegast Radhošť was the host of sacred ceremonies to rejoice the god during the time of Slavic antiquity.

There is a Sierra trail to mountain Pustevny with the sculpture of god Radegast on the way.
