Jested mountain is the symbol of city Liberec, Czech Republic. The mountain is visible from everywhere in the city and its a great feeling if your window has a Jested view.
The mountain has a TV tower, restaurant, hotel, ski resort and beautiful panoramic views. The mountain top is accessible through road, cable car or a steep hike of 1 hour.
Cable Car
How to reach
You can book tours very economical with some shuttle service in the summer season or just take TRAM #3 in the direction of Horny-Hanychov (last stop of tram) walk for 300 meters and the cable car to the top of the hill, see the timings before going up. It could be crowded in summer. The cable car takes hardly 5 minutes to reach to the top. It cost nearly 100Ck for one way and 149 for return ticket, as some people prefer to walk down the hill.
When to go
Other than skiing, its no sense to visit in the winter, the best time visit is daytime in summer without clouds. The top of hill is nearly 950meters above ground and clouds can just close your panoramic views.
Wear heavy clothes in winter and takes a light jacket with you in summer as it can windy in summer.
What to do
Enjoy the scenery, you can easily see the border of Poland. The TV tower building has a great restaurant and fish and fries could be a great lunch menu. Above the restaurant is a hotel with few rooms including the president suite.
