Ascent from Albrechtice in the Jizera Mountains

Tanvaldský Špičák (810 m above sea level) is a significant dominant of the southern part of the Jizera Mountains. Several hiking trails lead to the top. The easiest is from Albrechtice in the Jizera Mountains, from where it has only 1.4 km to the top and only 180 meters of altitude awaits you. You can go back the same way or then run down the shortcut along the piste. The top views are definitely worth a hike

After about a 20-minute brisk walk from Albrechtice, you will reach the very top of Tanvaldský Špičák. Apart from the lookout tower and the inn, there is also a cable car station and it looks a bit looted thanks to all those slopes and columns. But the view is really worth it.
