View from the lookout tower in Tábor

You can drive directly to the top of Tábor – there is not only a lookout tower, but also a guest house and restaurant. Besides, it is a great crossroads of hiking trails. From here you can walk to Jičín, Lomnice nad Popelkou or Nové Paky. An entrance fee of CZK 20 is collected for the lookout tower.

With good visibility, the peaks of the Lučice Mountains, such as Hvozd or Luž, can be seen far to the northwest. The dominant Ještěd is a bit closer.

Especially in the evening, the view of Ještěd and the Cossacks has an interesting atmosphere.

However, the most classic view is towards Lomnice nad Popelkou. The horizon is formed by the Jizera Mountains and the western part of the Giant Mountains.

Behind the Podkrkonoší belt you can see the highest mountains of the Czech Republic, including Sněžka.

To the east, a tall column of a mobile operator protrudes into view. In the background you can see Zvyčina, Kumburk and Bradlec.

To the southeast, the landscape is very wooded by local conditions. two well-known ruins peek out of the vegetation – Kumburk and Bradlec.

To the south, the terrain decreases the most. The view is of Jičín and the surrounding volcanic hills such as Zebín or Veliš

In winter, sometimes Tábor sticks over the famous inversions, so you can get to the sun relatively quickly and you don't have to go all the way to the Giant Mountains.
