Chairlift Železná studienka – Kamzík

Why visit

The chairlift is the easy way up from the woods of Železná studienka to Kamzík hill. The ride over the city forest is part of the outing, not just a transfer.

Opened in the 1970s and restored since, it is a two-seat lift with open chairs that climbs 186 metres. At the top you are next to the Kamzík TV tower, with its restaurant and viewing deck.

What to see

• The ride: open two-seat chairs above the forested slopes of the Little Carpathians.
• Kamzík TV tower: the city’s tallest structure, with a panoramic restaurant and viewing deck at the upper station.
• Železná studienka: the lower station sits in a forest valley with ponds, walking trails and picnic spots.

Plan your visit

The lift runs seasonally and only on certain days, and it can stop in bad weather. Bicycles can be taken on board for an extra fee.

Bus 43 is the simplest way to reach the lower station. A good half-day plan is to ride up, visit the tower and walk back down through the forest, or the other way round.
