Ládví between Views, Paths and Culture

Views, Paths and Culture in Ládví

The Rozhledna Ládví observation tower stands on the summit of Vlková above Ládví. Cycle route 0029 passes through the surrounding region; a chapel, statue and memorial complement the viewpoint with religious references and a place of remembrance.

Rozhledna Ládví and the Path to the Summit

The Rozhledna Ládví observation tower was built in 2011 on the 488-metre-high summit of Vlková above the settlement of Ládví. The tower is 45 metres high; its observation platform is 25 metres above the ground and can be reached via 150 steps. You can reach the observation tower by car, bicycle or on foot via the blue-marked hiking trail from Ládví. For families and older fellow travellers, the number of steps is a concrete factor to consider when planning the ascent as part of their outing. The journey and the ascent form two separate sections: Various routes lead to the tower, followed by the climb up the steps to the platform.

Cycling and Paths in the Surrounding Area

Cycle route 0029 runs from Strančice via Velké Popovice and Kamenice to Nová Grybla. Along the way, paved forest paths, local roads and roads with little traffic alternate. Anyone incorporating the route into a cycling trip should therefore plan not only the connections between the places but also the different types of route sections. You can treat the various types of paths as separate sections of the outing without reducing the route to a single type of road.
