Lookout towers and marked trails

Rozhledna Bramberk can be reached on foot, by bicycle, or by car. A red-marked hiking trail leads there from Lučany nad Nisou. From the top, you can see across the Jizerské hory mountains, the Krkonoše massif, Sněžka, Jablonec nad Nisou, and the Ještědský hřeben ridge.

From Rozhledna Bramberk, you can reach Rozhledna Slovanka via a red-marked hiking trail and then a green-marked one. Rozhledna Slovanka is the oldest iron lookout tower in Bohemia. Since July 7, 1999, it has been listed in the register of the National Heritage Institute; following its reconstruction, it was ceremonially reopened to the public on July 5, 2000. Alongside the experience of the landscape, these dates give the route between the two towers a clearly recognizable historical dimension.

The Stezka svobody as a themed circular trail

Another way to explore the region is offered by the Stezka svobody. The 12.7-kilometer circular trail connects the Lípy svobody planted in 2018 in Lučany nad Nisou, Horní Maxov, and Jindřichov. One of the connected places is also Horní Maxov. The route has twelve stations designed with glass cubes, metal bands, and quotations on the theme of freedom. Its length, circular format, and twelve stations provide concrete guidance if you would like to combine a hike with a cultural theme.

Church and Automoto Museum

The Church of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary in Lučany nad Nisou is a Neo-Renaissance building dating from 1886–1887 and was consecrated in 1889. Its floor plan is in the shape of a Greek cross; the furnishings date from the 19th century, while the interior is being continuously restored.
