Chata na vrchu Lovoš, Mountain lodge in Oparno, Czechia.
Chata na vrchu Lovoš is a mountain lodge located on the Lovoš peak within the České Středohoří range at approximately 570 meters elevation. The building provides shelter and refreshments for hikers traveling through the area.
The Lovosice Central Mountain Association (Lobositzer Mittelgebirgs-Verein) decided in 1882 to mark the trail to the Lovoš summit and began discussing a lodge; a fund was set up in 1889. A small stone building with a lookout tower opened on 19 June 1892. After a fire in 1918 destroyed its wooden parts, a larger lodge was built with local volunteers and donors and opened in 1924; during World War II it served as a German army observation post.
The lodge serves as a central gathering point for the Czech Tourist Club Lovosice, maintaining traditions of mountain hospitality since the 19th century.
The lodge can be reached from the southwest via the blue trail from Oparno, linked to the green trail from Lovosice, with connecting routes on the yellow trail from Opárenské údolí and from the village of Bílinka. From the southeast, the Lovoš nature trail branches off just below the summit. The restaurant seats sixty and opens year-round on weekends from 10:00 to 17:00, daily in summer.
The first stone cottage with a lookout tower opened on 19 June 1892, after the Lovosice Central Mountain Association began collecting funds for it in 1889. During World War II the building served as an observation post for the German army.
