Turistická znamka c. 40 zobrazuje dominantu Liberecka - vysílac Ješted. Vysílac je 94 m vysoka vež ve tvaru rotacního hyperboloidu a krome jeho teelkomunikacní role zde naleznete i horský hotel s restaurací.
Ješted Tower is a reinforced concrete construction with a shape called hyperboloid, built between 1963-1968. Its architect was Karel Hubácek. The shape was chosen since it naturally extends the silhouette of the hill and moreover well resists the extreme climate conditions on the top of the hill. In the Tower's lowest sections it contains a hotel and a tower restaurant. It serves as a dominant attraction in the city and as a place to oversee much of Bohemia and parts of Poland and Germany.

Mt. Jested (1012 m), crowned by a modern communication tower, is considered as a one from the main dominants of the Northern Bohemia and city of Liberec for a long time. Even if the TV tower - a work of architect Karel Hubácek - hadn't become the Czech Building of the Century and hadn't won the prestigeous Auguste Perret Award of the International Union of Architects, it would have been a unique tower, which makes the hilltop of Jested an unusual sight and gives to Liberec an attractive dominant. Construction of the conic transmitter (the shape is called rotational hyperboloid) took place from 1966 until 1973.
