Ještěd – 15 km
You will certainly not miss the dominant of Liberec. The futuristic tower on the once sizzling Ještěd Mountain (1012 m above sea level) has become the Czech building of the 20th century and a dominant feature of Liberec and the whole region. A cable car leads to the top of Ještěd. There is a freely accessible covered observation gallery on the ground floor and a nice view from the restaurant or café on the first floor. On the other floors there is a hotel.
You can reach the top of the lizard in several ways:
On foot – be prepared for a big climb
cable car – runs every day except Monday
chairlift to the rock and then walk for about 30 minutes – recommended!
