=== Landscape ===
Říp is a former volcano, or, more exactly, former inside of a volcano (last erruption circa 50 millions years ago). As such, the hill is quite steep with flattened top. It rises 200 m above the surrounding area, the total height above sea level is 455 m .
=== Flora and fauna ===
Říp is covered by trees which sometimes hinder possible views, although historically it has been woodless. On places where are no trees, you can see various thermophilic plants. Stag beetle, Europe's largest insect lives here - it can grow to up to 10 cm in length. It usually inhabits old or dead trees, so look for these if you want to see it.
=== Climate ===
The climate here is the same as in the rest of Czech Republic, Říp is not tall enough to have significantly different climate. You can climb it any time of year.
== Get in ==
By train
The closest railway station is the {{Listing|name=Ctiněves railway staion|alt=|url=|email=|address=|lat=50.3784753|long=14.3066131|directions=|phone=|tollfree=|fax=|hours=|price=|wikipedia=|wikidata=|image=|content=}}, which is located 2.6 km by walking from the hilltop. Another useful station is {{Listing|name=Mnetěš railway staion|alt=|url=|email=|address=|lat=50.3598975|long=14.2760725|directions=|phone=|tollfree=|fax=|hours=|price=|wikipedia=|wikidata=|image=|content=}}, which lies 3.8 km from the hilltop and lies on the same railway as Ctiněves, but using these two, you will not have to walk the same way there and back. Either way, you will have to change the train in Vraňany, if you going from Prague or Ústí nad Labem. From Prague, the journey takes 83 minutes and cost 78 Kč. Use [https://jizdnirady.idnes.cz/vlaky/spojeni/ IDOS] to find a timetable.
By bus
The nearest bus staion is in Ctiněves, just next to the railway staion. The buses go from [[Roudnice nad Labem]], so you would have to change from train or bus there if going from further away.
By bike
Říp is doable as a bit challenging one-day trip from Prague. The surrounding terrain is flat, but the ascent up the hill is difficult on bike, you have to have strong legs, or walk the bike for the last kilometer. From Prague and back, it is around 80 km. If you do not want to bike 80 km, you can take you bike on train, ride the train to Kralupy nad Vltavou and ride the bike from there. Use [https://en.mapy.cz/ mapy.cz] n outdoor mode to find suitable roads for bike.
By car
If coming by car, there is a paid parking lot in Rovné, from where it is 2 km to the top. You can also in Ctiněves. The road all the way up the hill from Rovné looks tempting, but it is forbidden to use it.
== Fees and permits ==
No fees are collected for climbing the mountain. There is a road all the way to the top, but private cars are not permitted on the road.
== Get around ==
Cars are forbidden on the hill, so you will have to walk or bike. The only suitable road for bikes is the one from Rovné, the others are just footpaths between rocks.
