No, the lookout point is free for all visitors to enjoy at any time. You can hike up the forest trails without paying any admission or parking fees. This makes it one of the best budget activities in the city of Karlovy Vary.

The hike usually takes about twenty to thirty minutes from the town center colonnades. It is a steep climb but the paths are very well maintained for tourists. You can take frequent breaks at the many benches located along the wooded trail.

You can see the rocky cliff from the valley, but the statue is quite small. It is much better to see the chamois from the actual lookout point itself. The view of the town from the top is much more impressive than the statue.

The lookout area is fenced and safe for children who are supervised by adults. However, the hiking trails have some steep drops and rocky sections near the edges. It is best to keep young children close while walking through the forest paths.
