6. Říp mountain
Říp is one of the most famous Czech mountains.

The nation of Bohemians was named after him (in Czech Bohemia is called Čechy). Říp is located in the north of the Central Bohemian region. On the top of the mountain there is the rotunda of St. George and from June till September you can take the historical railcar Podřipský motoráček from Roudnice nad Labem and it will take you through the villages and towns under the mountain.
