Říp Hill, Pilgrimage Site
A 15km (distance according to Mapy.com) hike through lovely countryside - orchards, hop fields, meadows, forest with impressive views of Říp and the surrounding volcanic peaks. The ascent to Říp is on a steep, rocky path - you need to be fairly fit for this. We'll go at a steady pace - not fast, but we want to get in a decent hike, not a stroll.
Please wear suitable hiking footwear and bring a snack and drink to keep you going. Refreshment available at the top of Rip, restaurants in Roudnice at the end of the walk.
