"Jested" Top 5 Page for this destination Liberec Things to Do Tip by german_eagle

Few cities enjoy such a nice recreation area like Liberec: the nearby Mt. Jested. With an elevation of 1012 m it dominates the scenery around Liberec.

The mountain is excellent for skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, hiking ... and watching ski-jump events.

The views are really superb. You can see Liberec at the foot of the mountain, the Jizerske Hory (mountains) and Krkonose mountains in the North, the Bohemian basin in the south. And in the northwest Germany (Zittauer Gebirge) ...

You can easily reach the foot of Mt. Jested with public transportation. Tram No. 2 takes you from downtown and/or the railway station to Dolny Hanychov where you change to Bus No. 33 to Horni Hanychov. It is planned to extend the tram line all the way to Horni Hanychov. Fare is 10 Kc one way (0.30 Euro).

Only few buses run to the cable car station, mostly you have to walk about 500 m (slightly uphill).

Please see my transportation tips for info on the cable car.

Directions: South of Liberec, really not to miss
