Kamzík Hill and TV Tower
Forest trails above the city, a TV tower with a revolving restaurant and observation deck, and a chairlift from Železná studnička.
Why visit
Kamzík is the wooded hill in the Bratislava Forest Park that rises above the north of the city. A bus ride from the centre to Koliba and a short walk through the woods, and you swap streets for forest paths and meadows.
The top is marked by the Kamzík TV tower, built in the 1970s and visible from much of the city. Its revolving restaurant and observation deck give a 360-degree view over Bratislava and the forest around it.
What to see
- Observation deck: a viewing platform at up to 110 metres in the TV tower.
- Veža restaurant: the revolving restaurant in the tower, slowly turning while you eat.
- Forest trails: marked walking and cycling routes across the Forest Park, from short loops to longer ridge walks.
- Chairlift: a ride over the treetops between Železná studnička and the hilltop.
- Koliba: meadows, a playground and forest cafés a short walk below the tower.
Plan your visit
The forest and the hilltop are free; the observation deck has paid admission and the restaurant recommends booking. There is parking at Koliba, and some forest paths are steep.
The chairlift does not run every day, so check its operating days before you plan the ride up. Allow half a day to combine the tower, Koliba and Železná studnička.
