Nice trip with lots of views
The top of Tábor is a popular destination for excursionists, it is no wonder that the road leads to the very top and there is also a lookout tower and a guest house. However, the hike is even better for other attractions that this hill offers: Allain's Tower or the Stations of the Cross. In addition, the prospects that await you here
Kyje
You can go on this round trip around Tábor from several different places. One of the options is Kyje. It is possible to park in a small parking lot (3 cars) at a road junction or for the lazier to go 700 meters further (and 64 meters higher) to the plot at the railway station
View towards Doubravice
from Kyjí the road climbs up and across the meadow there is a nice view down towards Doubravice
Sacral monuments
On this tour you will meet many smaller and larger sacral monuments. This cross is just a short walk from the train station, an alternative start of this tour
Viewpoint by the tree
At the railway station, it is possible to continue on three paths – along the yellow road to Allain's tower, along the red road directly up to Tábor or along the narrow asphalt road, along which the cycle route leads. We go up the asphalt road and after about 800 meters we ascend to a nice lookout point to the castle Bradlec and the Jičín basin. The local lonely tree is nice for all seasons
View of the Giant Mountains, including Sněžka
Just a few tens of meters away, a beautiful view opens up to the other side – the Giant Mountains, including Sněžka. This tour is therefore ideal for doing business with good visibility, so that there is something to enjoy (the Giant Mountains are about 30 km away as the crow flies)
Before Chlum
We are slowly approaching Chlum and the views are still great
Chlum
We come to Chlum, through which the road leads directly to the top of Tábor, but we will still continue on the roundabout. We will go around a beautiful sculptural group to the transformer from which the road descends to Lomnice nad Popelkou. We will follow it, but immediately after 100 meters we will turn left and we will continue along the contour line (around the new building of a large log cabin) until we connect to the blue hiking trail leading from Lomnice to the top of Tábor)
Lípa pod Táborem
If you want a light rest, you can use the benches under a huge linden tree a little further
Views over the linden tree
It is enough to ascend only a few tens of meters from the linden tree and the view of the region is again impressive
Křížovka spring and niche chapel Chlum
Another interesting place on this tour is the Křížovka spring, unfortunately almost dry and behind it a beautiful chapel
The Way of the Cross to the top of Tábor
From the chapel we finally have the final ascent to the hill. We can see the individual stops of the Stations of the Cross
The top of Tábor
Finally you are on the flat top of the hill Tábor (678m above sea level). There is a guest house and especially Tichánek's lookout tower. „Ascent to the lookout tower“: https: //www.gigaplaces.com/clanek-vyhled-z-rozhledny-na-tabore/ (20CZK admission) is the highlight of this tour
Baroque Church of the Transfiguration
Apart from the lookout tower, there is also a rather monumental Church of the Transfiguration on the top of the hill
Steep descent through the forest
From the top, embark on a descent along the red hiking trail. At the beginning, it's quite a mess, so in the winter months it can be quite interesting here
At Allain's tower
In places where the hiking trail ascends several cottages from the forest, turn sharply right and along the forest road you will walk after about 500 meters to a picturesque meadow with a pond and a nice Allain tower.
Allain Tower
Allain's tower served as a magnificent posed in the 19th century, now it is an accessible lookout tower in the vicinity. From the tower, follow the yellow tourist route back to the railway station and down to Kyjí.
