Where to stay in Horní Hanychov
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Beds here point uphill. Rooms in Horní Hanychov sit on the approach to Ještěd Tower, which makes the quarter a base for anyone heading up the ridge and an awkward one for anyone who wants the centre of Liberec on foot. Dolní Hanychov is the flatter neighbour.
If you want the trailhead of the Naučná stezka Ještědských pověstí near your door and are content to travel in for dinner, this slope suits you.

About Horní Hanychov
What are the main landmarks in Horní Hanychov?
The ridge takes the eye. Ještěd Tower stands above the quarter as its unmistakable marker, a summit structure that fixes the skyline over Liberec, while the Naučná stezka Ještědských pověstí works the legends of the same hill into a walking route. Lower down, the Church of Saint Boniface in Dolní Hanychov serves the neighbouring quarter, and the Pomník patnáctého poledníku pod Ještědem marks a meridian on the slope.
What is the history of Horní Hanychov?
Hanychov comes in two halves. The upper village and Dolní Hanychov below it were both drawn into Liberec as numbered quarters, and the modern style Liberec XIX-Horní Hanychov records how far down that list of subdivisions the slope settlement sits. Legend arrived before administration.
The Naučná stezka Ještědských pověstí gathers the stories told about the hill, a body of folklore older than any of the boundaries now drawn across the quarter.
Where is Horní Hanychov?
Horní Hanychov spreads over roughly seven square kilometres of Liberec, climbing from Dolní Hanychov toward the ridge that carries Ještěd Tower.
