Hradčanská vyhlídka (lookout)

Sandstone rock with an extraordinary view of Ralsko and the nearby Hradčany airport.

Site Description

A comfortable path leads to the plateau of the sandstone rock, which first rises inconspicuously from a forest full of blueberries. The first thing you’ll notice as you approach the rocks is a strange opening that may resemble a number of things; especially men may take notice of it. Your children or dogs can hide in the little cave…

You will feel like you’re on a captain’s bridge on the plateau with no railings, with a sea of pine trees swaying below. When visibility is good, the northern horizon is closed off by the Lusatian Mountains and Krkonoše, with Ještěd standing a little closer, and the ruins on the peak of Ralsko seem to be at arm’s reach. There is no place where you can get a better idea of the size of the famous Hradčany airport, which lies just below.
