Place description
The Paličník lookout point, on the Paličník rock, is one of the most beautiful lookout points in the Jizera Mountains with its height of 944 metres above sea level. It offers a beautiful view of the whole Frýdlant region and the Smědava surroundings. Several hiking trails lead to the viewpoint, which is bordered by a metal railing and offers an iconic cross. The easiest way to Paličník is along the green and blue trail from Smědava, from which it is about 5 km away. The path is a combination of asphalt and dirt road and also leads, for example, across the lake Černá Smědá.
An alternative is a hike from the village of Bílý Potok, which leads past several smaller waterfalls. If you want to sweat more, we recommend this route along the yellow trail from Bartlova bouda. Paličník can also be one of the stops on the way to the highest mountain of the Jizera Mountains – Smrk.
