Ralsko

A wild and far visible hill, overgrown with trees and shrubs at the height of 696 meters. From the rocky peak, a huge rubble is pouring in and above it you can see the ruins of Ralsko. The steepness of the ascent suggests how important the castle was, from the ruins of which you can see half of northern Bohemia. What was it like to get up and lie down with the world under your feet? In the morning with the first rays of the sun, in the evening with the last? The fact that many hikers still try it today is evidenced by several fireplaces among the remains of the walls. In addition to them, the castle has preserved a dilapidated entrance gate and tower, accessible by a small wooden door. On the dark stone are still legible inscriptions in Cyrillic from the time when Ralsko was part of the military area. This is also our (fortunately already) history…

From the aerial rock lookout at the end of the top ridge there is a beautiful view not only of the surroundings, but mainly from the distance to the ruins of the Ralsko castle.
