Tábor (678 m a.s.l.) is a charming hilltop destination in the Bohemian Paradise region that packs a surprising amount into one visit — a stately 35-metre brick lookout tower, a baroque pilgrimage church, and sweeping panoramic views that stretch across dozens of peaks. It is a place where history, nature and scenery come together in the most pleasant way.
The hill rises 3 km south of Lomnice nad Popelkou and forms an asymmetric east–west ridge with gentle northern slopes and steeper southern faces. The summit is cloaked in mixed spruce and oak forest, which offers shade in summer and a blaze of colour in autumn. From the tower you can spot landmarks like Kozákov, Trosky, Ještěd, Bezděz and Černá Hora — one of the finest viewpoints in the whole region.
How to get to the summitThe name 'Tábor' echoes the Hussite era, when great assemblies of the people were held on this very hill. The elegant brick tower built in 1911 — organised by Josef Tichánek, grandfather of Czech actress Věra Tichánková — is considered one of the most beautiful lookout towers in Bohemia.
