Aldrov (776 m a.s.l.) is a modest hill rising right where the Krkonoše Mountains meet the Krkonoše Foothills, overlooking the deep valley of the Jizerka River between Vítkovice and Roudnice. It's a quiet, unassuming peak that rewards visitors with a genuine sense of transition between mountains and gentler hill country.

The surroundings have a peaceful, wooded character, with the deep river valley below adding drama to the landscape. A telecommunications transmitter tower marks the summit and serves as a handy landmark visible from a distance. In winter the slopes come alive as a small ski resort, while in the warmer months the area offers calm forest walks with views toward the Krkonoše range.

How to reach the summit

• From Vítkovice or Roudnice (part of the village of Jestřabí v Krkonoších) - moderate hike, duration depends on chosen route
• Chairlift access available during the ski season

Practical information

• The Aldrov ski resort lies on the hill's slope, served by the Prezidentský expres chairlift, opened in December 2004
• A telecommunications transmitter stands near the summit

The name Aldrov derives from the German Altersberg (Old Mountain), a reference to old ore mining in the area, since 'hora' once also meant a mine.
