Trip to the Emperor's Stone

The start of the walk is in Milíře, where you can find a few parking spaces. In Milířy itself there is a small chapel, a nice children's pla­yground and a little further on there is a monument to the victims of the Prussian-Austrian war

From Milíře we follow the green tourist route. On the edge of the village, we pass a nice building. Then we are slowly approaching the local cemetery.

The first interesting stop on this walk is the Milíře cemetery. There are several interesting tombstones and also a view of Jablonec nad Nisou. Next to the cemetery is the stone circle of Milíre

It can be seen that we are in the so-called Sudetenland – an area that was heavily populated by Germans before the Second World War.

From the cemetery there is a nice view of the picturesque Jablonec nad Nisou

From the cemetery, it is only a few tens of meters through the forest on a gradual ascent to this beautiful lookout tower. The height of the building is approx. 23 meters

Now we have to climb 112 steps up. Some may find it difficult to see through the perforated stairs.

From the observation tower there is a beautiful view of the Ještěd ridge with the dominant Ještěd on the horizon.

The regional city of Liberec stretches in the northwest direction

To the north are the woods of the Jizera Mountains

In the eastern direction, the Krkonoše Mountains can be seen in the distance. A little closer is Jablonec nad Nisou surrounded by forests

In the southeast direction, you can see as far as Bohemian Paradise. You can see it well, far on the horizon, Kozákov

Towards the south lies the slightly larger Javorník, already on the Ještěd ridge.
