Bradlec (542 m a.s.l.) is a quiet, wooded hill in the Liberec Region of the Czech Republic that makes for a wonderfully unhurried escape into nature. Tucked just half a kilometre northwest of the village of Újezdec, it sits at the heart of the scenic Bradlecký hřbet ridge.
The hill belongs to the broader Kozákovský hřbet range — a rolling, forest-covered landscape that turns vivid green in spring and glows with amber tones come autumn. The eastern slope of Bradlec is gentle and approachable, making this a great choice for families or anyone after a relaxed half-day walk. The ridge continues westward to Romanova hůra (502 m) and southward to Kozinec (468 m), offering the option to link multiple summits into a longer outing.
How to get to the summitBradlec sits within the Ještědsko-kozákovský hřbet geomorphological unit — a ridge that has long been a favourite among walkers seeking peace and simple, satisfying hiking in the Czech highlands.
