Beautiful view of Liberecko
The Císařův kámen observation tower is one of the best viewpoints in the whole of Liberec. The observation tower stands on the hill of the same name at the very end of the Jizera Mountains. From the observation tower there is a wonderful view directly into the Liberecká basin and the surrounding hills. The walk itself from the village of Milíře is only a little more than half a kilometer, so even small children can do it. Entrance to the lookout tower is free.
A miler
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
Picturesque building along the way
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.
Mile 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
German tombstone
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.
View of Jablonec nad Nisou
From the cemetery there is a nice view of the picturesque Jablonec nad Nisou
The Emperor's Stone Lookout Tower
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
Exit to the lookout tower
Now we have to climb 112 steps up. Some may find it difficult to see through the perforated stairs.
View of the Ještěd ridge
From the observation tower there is a beautiful view of the Ještěd ridge with the dominant Ještěd on the horizon.
