Červený vrch (Stříbrník)

On the hill (277 m above sea level) that rises above the town of Louny is a wooden observation tower (12 m high) from 1911, the so-called Frotzel´s Observatory Tower. Part of the tower is the Ejem´s Cabin, which is used for refreshments of tourists. Access to the tower is also possible.

Raná

The prominent basalt hill (457 m above sea level), a part of the site protected since 1951, today a national nature reserve. The site is also known for its tradition in sports flying, today mainly hang-gliding and paragliding.

Písečný vrch /Sand Hillock/

The interesting hill (318 m n. m.), a former volcano. The old crater is, besides others, filled out with kaolin sands exposed by the former mining activities in the quarries.

Libčeves

It lies to the east of the village of Jablonec. There is a fortress from the 14th century, rebuilt into a Renaissance chateau in 1607; today, however, it is dilapidating. Furthermore, it is possible to see the Romanesque Church of St John the Baptist, a Celtic burial site in the south; several findings from the area come from the Bronze Age.
