Dubecko

If a part of the scenery has to be the telecommunication towers hopefully they serve tourists too. Dubecko is located on slightly tilted sandstone. From the sandstone formation Klokočske skály separates it Stebénka Valley, and in a small town Rovensko pod Troskami, river Veselka flows through it. Near Dubecko in the forest we will see few smaller sandstone rocks. In one of those rocks was chiseled out not long ago the wayside shrine devoted to Saint Eustache. The lookout tower is a steel mast with winding spiral of steps.

Kozákov

Kozákov is the highest peak of the Bohemian Paradise, on the outskirts of the region in the place where it is neighbouring with the Jizerské mountains. It is true we will find the point which is higher by 100 metres, but the symbol of the whole region is Kozákov, among other things because on its slopes we will find sandstone rocks which are typical to the Bohemian Paradise. The highest point on which is located the lookout tower and a tourist lodge Riegrova chata was not originally the highest point of the summit, but the volcanic channel located about 2 km in the north-west direction. From the end of its volcanic activity, it means 4,5 mln. years ago, the mountain height increased by about 300 metres. It is now 744 m above sea level.

Milohlídka – Čeřovka

Albrecht von Wallenstein (hero of The Thirty Year War and the richest man after the emperor in Austrian monarchy) thinking about his landscape compositions, really had where to take his ideas from. Volcanic hills near Jičín bring special character to the valley. On the hill Veliš once was a castle, on Zebín is even now a chapel, and between the two of them is the summit Čeřovka. Its location near Valdice Alley encourages a walk rather than a long excursion.
