The article deals with the oronym Královka – a name of a well-known and attractive tourist destination in Jizerské hory (the Jizera Mountains/Isergebirge). This oronym shows how difficult it was to find proper Czech equivalents for former German toponyms in areas inhabited by German ethnicity before 1945. The oronym Královka does not correspond with a semantic motivation of the former name Königshöhe, which is of deantroponymic origin. That is why an official name Nekras was proposed in 1950’s. This name with an unclear etymology is evidenced in 16th century; however, it has not caught on.
