Říp mountain

A mountain rising from afar to a height of 456 m above sea level with a Romanesque rotunda at the top. The legend of the arrival of the Czech ancestor is related to Mount Říp. This has been one of the basic symbols of the Czech nation. From the top there are beautiful views of the Central Bohemian Uplands or the deep woods of the Kokořín region.

The Říp Mountain (456 metres above the sea level) stands out of the Central Labe Lowland 5 kilometres south of Roudnice nad Labem.

On its top, there is the rotunda of St. Geogre and St. Vojtěch. Inside, you can see the statue of St. George and The Dragon. Several marked trails go up to the top of the mountain. From the viewpoints on the top of the hill, for example Mělník, Prague, or Roudnice Viewpoint, you can see panoramic views of distant places like the Central Bohemian Uplands or the deep woods of the Kokořín Region. In 1907, a tourist cabin was built next to the rotund. You can still stop and get some refreshments there.
