Marian Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The View of the Virgin Mary is one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the rock town, not far from the Hrubá Skála chateau. Its location allows a view of Ještěd, Turnovsko, Kozákov, Dračí skály, Lebka, Dračí věž, as well as the Hrubá Skála and Trosky castles. Nearby is the symbolic Cemetery of Mountaineers. Together with the castle viewpoint, it lies on the yellow-marked hiking trail from the springs near Lázní Sedmihorka to the Hrubá Skála castle.

Beautiful to walk through the crevice on these stairs. In summer it is nice and cool between the stones.

Yesterday I got inspiration from Komoot and what can I say, it was a brilliant route. 45 minutes from Olbersdorf (with the speed camera app, that is 😉). Highly recommended 👍.

Bohemian Paradise - we will definitely be back. What was intended as a short hiking detour on the return journey from the Giant Mountains inspired us so much that we want to explore this area again in detail. It's beautiful there.
