Sněžka hit by hurricane force winds

Sněžka, Czechia's highest peak, was hit by hurricane force winds on Wednesday, the Czech News Agency reports. The wind on Sněžka reached a speed of over 136 kilometers per hour in the morning, according to data from the Anežka measuring station at the top of the mountain.

The upper section of the mountain's cable car route had to suspend operations, as it can only run in wind speeds of up to 60 km/h.
