Mount Říp (456 m above sea level) rises from the Polabska plain 5 km south of Roudnice nad Labem. On the top stands the rotunda of St. George and St. Vojtěch. Inside you can see the statue of St. George with a dragon. Several marked hiking trails lead to the top. From the top viewpoints, such as the Mělnická, Pražská or Roudnická viewpoint, you can enjoy distant panoramic views of the Bohemian Central Highlands or the deep forests of the Kokořínsko region. In 1907, a tourist hut was built in the vicinity of the rotunda, which still serves as an excursion stop with refreshments.
