Jezovská horka is a modest but charming hill near Kuřívody, perfect for travelers who enjoy combining an easy walk with a bit of local history. Standing at just 400 m above sea level, its summit hides traces of past quarrying activity and views you wouldn't expect from such a low peak.
The whole hilltop is covered with beech and oak forest mixed with pine, and its surface is marked by a system of abandoned quarries that give the place a slightly mysterious feel. From the northern slope you get a view over part of the Bohemian Paradise (Český ráj), while other spots offer glimpses of Ještěd and the Židlov game reserve. The forest is quiet, broken only by rustling leaves - a great escape from crowds, especially in autumn when the beech woods turn golden and copper.
How to reach the summitThe hill takes its name from the vanished village of Jezová, whose remains lie 1.5 km to the southeast - an interesting stop for anyone curious about local history.
