Gunnar Klack · CC BY-SA 4.0 Why visit
A futuristic mountaintop television tower and hotel whose tapered form has become the symbol of Liberec. Designed by architect Karel Hubáček and completed in the 1970s, Ještěd merges a communications tower with hospitality spaces in a form shaped for severe mountain winds. It is included because it adds a distinctive experience to a realistic Liberec or regional itinerary rather than acting as a filler stop.
What you will see
- Iconic modernist silhouette.
- Wide regional views.
- Mountaintop architecture.
