- The park is free and never closes; the hours above are the lookout tower, and the mirror maze beside it keeps similar ones. There is a lift as well as the stairs, and under-fifteens need an adult with them. The funicular from Újezd has been out of service since September 2024 and is still listed as out of order by the transport company while its track is rebuilt — check dpp.cz before you plan around it, and note that when it runs it charges its own fare rather than taking an ordinary single ticket. On foot from Újezd the climb takes about twenty-five minutes.
