Ascent to Leipzig Mountain

We will start the ascent in Lhota, where you can either come by car or walk along the red or yellow hiking trail. There is a nice chapel. The top of Leipzig Mountain is less than a kilometer and a half and two hundred meters away

Right behind Lhota you will disappear into an almost fairytale forest. To the south of the top of Leipzig Mountain is the Leipzig Mountain Nature Reserve, so you will come across several educational boards here. Protection was established here due to the occurrence of rare plants such as Carnation. Here you can also come across the rare spider Stepník red

From Lhota it is about a 15–20 minute walk to the saddle below Leipzig Mountain. From here, a steeper ascent to the top begins. Near the top you will start to encounter nice rocks. The twisted surrounding forest is also interesting

Finally, we have an ascent with a series of zigzags behind us and we are standing on a rocky peak. The outlook is only „three-quarters“, but still great. You will be the first to be interested in the wide south-eastern view as far as Říp and Házmburk

To the northeast is a beautiful view of Lovos (570m)

To the south is a beautiful view of a group of hills led by Oltářík (566 m above sea level), Dlouhý vrch (618 m above sea level) and the highest Solanská mountain (638 m above sea level). Líšeň (548 m above sea level) is a bit more in the foreground

To the southwest there is a beautiful view of the wooded landscape of hills with occasional meadows. Lhota is also clearly visible, from where we started the ascent

The view to the west is to a forested landscape with less pronounced, although to the conditions of the Bohemian Central Mountains high hills

Unfortunately, the northern views are limited by mature forests. After all, through one window, you can see the highest mountain of the mountains – Milešovka
