Kamzík Hill & TV Tower

A Green Escape Above the City

Kamzík rises above northern Bratislava in the heart of the Bratislava Forest Park, offering shade, fresh air and quiet forest paths. It’s an ideal destination for families, hikers, runners and cyclists — a place where you can step into nature within minutes of the city centre.

At the top stands the Kamzík TV Tower, a futuristic architectural landmark from the 1970s that can be seen from almost anywhere in the city.

Revolving Restaurant in the TV Tower

Kamzík’s TV Tower hosts one of Bratislava’s most unique dining spots — a revolving restaurant that rotates slowly to give diners uninterrupted 360° views.

Highlights

• 360° rotating platform with wide city and forest views

• Slovak and international dishes in an atmospheric setting

• Ideal for romantic dinners, special occasions or sunset drinks

• Best visited between April and October, when sunsets are most vivid

What to See & Experience

• Hiking & walking trails – from short loops to longer ridge routes

• Cycling trails – popular with recreational and mountain bikers

• Picnic meadows – quiet grassy areas perfect for families

• Seasonal cafés and terraces – around Koliba and the tower

• Winter charm – peaceful snowy walks; small training slopes for children

💡 Fun fact: On exceptionally clear days, the silhouette of the Alps appears on the southern horizon.

Arrive by Chairlift — from Železná studnička

One of the most charming ways to reach Kamzík is by the historic chairlift from Železná studnička.

• Runs seasonally (usually weekends and holidays)

• Short, scenic ride over the forest canopy

• Offers a slow, peaceful ascent with beautiful views

• Suitable for families, couples and casual visitors

The upper station is a short walk from the TV Tower, making the cable car one of the most pleasant approaches to Kamzík.

In the Neighbourhood

• Koliba – playgrounds, forest cafés, open meadows

• Železná studnička – lakes, picnic areas, sports facilities

• Snežienka – a junction of forest trails

• Bratislava Forest Park – hundreds of hectares of accessible green space

Our Tip

Visit in late afternoon between April and October, ride the chairlift up from Železná studnička, take a short walk to the tower and enjoy a slow sunset dinner in the revolving restaurant — one of Bratislava’s most unforgettable experiences.
