Obří sud

Obří sud [the giant barrel] is a restaurant for hikers found above the town of Lázně Libverda, and from here we can gaze out at the stunning view of the Jizera Mountains. The building was built back in 1931 and mainly served spa guests. The model for this structure was the Giant Barrel on Javorník Mountain engulfed by fire on September 20, 1974. Thus today, this structure is a one-of-a-kind in the Czech Republic. Obří sud lies along marked hiking routes and cycle trails. Besides refreshments, it also offers tourist stamps and various souvenirs.
