Cross Hill
Křížová hora
A small hill southeast of the old town. A walk of about 20 minutes up the Stations of the Cross path leads to a summit chapel with panoramic views over the castle, old town and river bend. Far fewer visitors than the castle tower.
The summit of Cross Hill has an 18th-century pilgrimage chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary and the Holy Cross. The path up is lined with fourteen Stations of the Cross and winds through woodland. The summit meadow faces the castle and old town, capturing the castle tower, St. Vitus Church and the S-shaped river bend in one view. It is a favorite sunset spot for photographers. Entry is free. From Horní Street, cross the bridge and follow the signs uphill. The path can be slippery after rain, so wear non-slip shoes.
