4379 Roudnice nad Labem Říp Mountain is a 461-metres-high solitary hill located about southeast of Roudnice nad Labem and about 21 km soueast of the district town Litoměřice and about 36 km southeast of the regional capital Ústí nad Labem. According to national legend, it is the place where the first Czechs settled. The mountain and the rotunda on its top are among the Czech national cultural monuments.

Glass no. 4379 [left] is a souvenir from Roudnice nad Labem (see there). The small picture in the top left corner shows a view of the chapel of St. George on the summit of Říp, one of the oldest buildings in the Czech Republic. It was mentioned for the first time in 1126. The rotunda's current appearance is the result of a purist reconstruction during the 1870s.
