Štěpánka Lookout Tower

Štěpánka is a lookout tower with its own charm even before you climb to the top. The Neo-Gothic stone tower stands on Hvězda hill above Příchovice and is one of the most distinctive viewpoints on the border between the Jizera Mountains and the Krkonoše Mountains.

Štěpánka Lookout Tower stands at an altitude of around 958 metres and is often described as one of the most beautiful lookout towers in the region. From the top, views open up over the Jizera Mountains, the Krkonoše Mountains, the Tanvald area, Kořenov, Příchovice and the more distant landscape of Northern Bohemia. Thanks to its position between the two mountain ranges, it feels like a natural link between two mountain worlds.

A trip to Štěpánka combines well with Příchovice, Kořenov, the historic Cog Railway or other routes in the area. If you arrive by car, the most practical option is to park in Příchovice and walk to the lookout tower.
