Radobýl (399 m) is a basalt hill in České středohoří mountains, Czech Republic. It rises above village of Žalhostice on right bank of the Elbe River 3 km west of Litoměřice. Part of the hill with abandoned basalt quarry and rich rock steppe flora is under protection as Radobýl Nature Monument (Přírodní památka Radobýl). The hill is a popular hiking destination. From huge metallic cross (erected in 1992) on the bare summit there is almost 360-degrees panoramic view of central part of České středohoří Mts., Litoměřice, Terezín and Lovosice.
