Where to go on a trip Krkonoše - východ

A unique view of our beautiful Krkonoše and the distant surroundings is offered to visitors when heading to the town of Janské Lázně and ascending to the local Stezka korunami stromů. It is located among forests right in the center of the Krkonošský národní park. In 2018, Stezka korunami stromů Krkonoše was selected as the Construction of the Year 2018 in the Hradec Králové Region, and in the same year, it also won the award as the absolute winner of the DestinaCZe competition, which is evaluated by the public.

The total length of the route is more than 1,500 meters. The walkway is located at a height of 24 meters and features 3 stops with information boards. Visitors thus have the opportunity, among other things, to see from above, for example, trees that are more than 150 years old.

Part of Stezka korunami stromů Krkonoše is also a unique 45-meter-high tower. During construction, consideration was also given to disabled persons and parents with small children in strollers, so the entire trail is wheelchair accessible. Courageous visitors can slide down using a water slide more than 50 meters long.

For organized groups, it is possible to arrange a guide who will share a lot of interesting information that visitors might otherwise overlook during an individual visit. Stezka korunami stromů Krkonoše can also become an interesting place for school trips or team-building events.

Throughout the year, various interesting events and special days take place at the trail. Visitors can thus come here, for example, during Wine Days or Senior Citizens' Day. Children will certainly be pleased by Day with Krakonoš or Day with Mascots Emil and Emilka. Evening Dusk on the Trail, which visitors watch to the sounds of a string quartet, is also interesting.

The program for families with children, as well as for other visitors, is truly varied, and truly everyone can choose what suits them. Therefore, if the next holiday of visitors takes place in the Krkonoše, visitors should definitely include Stezka korunami stromů Krkonoše in their program.

And if visitors are still only in the preparation stage and do not know where to lay their heads, there is no need to despair. Thanks to great interest from tourists and other visitors, the accommodation offer in the Krkonoše is truly wide. Mountain hotels as well as smaller guesthouses are available for selection. Many local residents also offer private accommodation or apartment rentals. For families with children, the best option is rented cottages and chalets, which ensure privacy and complete comfort.

It is therefore sufficient to simply agree with other participants of the trip and book what will suit everyone. If visitors choose accommodation near Stezka korunami stromů Krkonoše, they cannot go wrong. We wish visitors a pleasant stay.

Do you know which ski resort is currently the largest in Bohemia? Yes, it is SkiResort Černá hora - Pec, where visitors may ski on more than 50 kilometres of slopes of varying difficulty. The entire SkiResort consists of 6 interconnected ski areas - in addition to SkiResort Černá hora - Pec, this includes Skiareál Janské Lázně, Skiareál Černý Důl, Skiport Velká Úpa, Skiareál Svoboda nad Úpou, and Skiareál Malá Úpa. All resorts can be accessed using a single skipass.

During the summer, the range of activities is equally wide. Three cable cars are available, allowing visitors to enjoy magnificent views of the surrounding countryside. We also recommend climbing the Hnědý vrch lookout tower, or increasing your adrenaline levels by riding a mountain scooter. Children will certainly be delighted by the bungee climbing wall, trampoline, or go-karts.

During the winter season, visitors to SkiResort Černá hora - Pec can choose from a truly vast number of slopes. Most of them are marked in red according to their difficulty level. A shorter black slope is also available for the truly daring. Blue slopes are also on offer for recreational skiers and all those who are not yet entirely confident in their skiing abilities.

In addition to using one's own skis, ski buses are available to assist with transport between the individual resorts. And if skiing is not your preferred activity, other forms of exercise can be chosen in SkiResort Černá hora - Pec, such as sledging along a specially prepared route or guided sledging. Trips on snowshoes, ski mountaineering, or snowtubing are also very popular.

If you have set out for the mountains with small children, skiing while supervising your little ones may seem difficult. We therefore recommend using the popular babysitting service. Your child will be cared for, allowing you to ski on the snow-covered hills with peace of mind.

Ski and snowboard equipment rental shops are, of course, available to visitors of SkiResort Černá hora - Pec, so you can arrive "lightly," so to speak. High-quality service ensuring perfect maintenance is also a standard feature. Consequently, nothing will surprise you on the slopes.

If you are a skiing beginner or wish to refine your technique, we recommend using the ski school or a private ski instructor. Entrusting yourself to the hands of an expert is nothing to be ashamed of. You will see that results are certain to follow.

To perfect your skiing skills, one day is certainly not enough. If your efforts are to be worthwhile, a longer holiday in the Krkonoše mountains is recommended, which can be spent not only on skiing but also on other activities that our most famous mountains offer.

We are happy to assist you in planning your stay. As this is the most visited winter location, we offer a diverse range of accommodation near SkiResort Černá hora - Pec as well as in the wider surrounding area. Hotels and guesthouses can be found here, while mountain cottages in the Krkonoše or apartments in Pec pod Sněžkou are very popular - choose what suits you best and set off on your next winter holiday to visit the guardian of the mountains, Krakonoš! You will not regret it!

The Romantic Memorial Above the Úpa River in the Krkonoše Mountains with a View of the Rýchorský hřeben Ridge.

Lesní hrádek Aichelburg is a romantic neo-Gothic structure that towers high above the Úpa River on the wooded slope of Světlá hora, near the village of Temný Důl in the Krkonoše Mountains. It is not a medieval seat, but rather a unique memorial commissioned by the forestry staff of the Maršov estate in memory of Count Berthold Aichelburg, a renowned manager and patron of the eastern Krkonoše Mountains. Although it originally fell into disrepair, it was reconstructed by a civic association.

Today, a restored castle tower and a wooden guardhouse stand upon the rock. The small castle offers a beautiful view of the Rýchorský hřeben ridge and parts of the eastern Krkonoše Mountains, although it is partially obscured by the surrounding forests. The site is managed by the Veselý výlet information centre in Horní Maršov, where visitors can borrow a key to tour the interior of the tower.

Access

Visitors arriving by car will reach the village of Horní Maršov (approximately 15 km from Trutnov), where parking is available in designated car parks. Bus transport provides direct access to Horní Maršov. By train, the nearest station is Svoboda nad Úpou, from which it is approximately 7 km to Horní Maršov. A marked tourist trail leads from Horní Maršov to the small castle, extending about 3 km uphill. The starting point can be the Veselý výlet information centre in Horní Maršov.

What Is Worth Discovering

The surrounding area is rich in hiking opportunities in the Krkonoše Mountains. A marked trail named Aichelburg leads from Lesní hrádek all the way to Pec pod Sněžkou, spanning about 8 km, with informational stops detailing local landmarks. From nearby Horní Maršov, visitors can set out towards the Rýchorský prales primeval forest or onto the ridges of the Krkonoše Mountains. Located not far away is the popular mountain resort of Pec pod Sněžkou, from which a cable car takes visitors up to the summit of Sněžka.

The highest mountain in the Czech Republic is Sněžka, which rises to an altitude of 1,603 metres above sea level. It is located in the Krkonoše mountains, and the state border with Poland runs across its summit. Visitors may comfortably reach the top via a modern cable car, which departs from Pec pod Sněžkou or from the intermediate station at Růžová hora.

Apart from the cable car station, there are other structures on the summit of Sněžka. Examples include the Polská bouda mountain hut, which houses a meteorological station, or the Kaple sv. Vavřince (Chapel of St. Lawrence), which is the oldest building in this area. It was consecrated as early as 1681. In those days, religious services were held on Sněžka up to five times a year and were attended by a multitude of pilgrims from the surrounding area. Over the following years, the chapel burned down several times. It was subsequently re-consecrated, the altar and murals were restored, and it now once again serves as a place for masses dedicated to mountain guides and rescuers, whose patron is indeed Saint Lawrence.

Another, and arguably the most well-known, building for the public is the Česká poštovna (Czech Post Office). This fully functional post office ensures the dispatch of postcards and provides other postal services. It also includes a refreshment stall and an observation deck, which offers a magnificent panoramic view of the vast surroundings. At the same time, it is the highest situated building in the country.

In addition to the aforementioned cable car, it is possible to reach Sněžka via several different hiking trails. Scaling the highest mountain is a very popular challenge, and it is therefore one of the most visited attractions in the Krkonoše mountains. The most frequently used route leads from Pec pod Sněžkou. Here, one still has the choice of whether to attempt the ascent on foot or to make use of the aforementioned cable car. The walking route partially follows the cable car line, leads over Růžová hora, and measures approximately 6.5 kilometres. The reward for the effort will be magnificent views and fresh mountain air.

The least demanding ascent can be started in Malá Úpa. The roughly 4-kilometre-long Cesta česko-polského přátelství (Czech-Polish Friendship Trail) will lead visitors along the red tourist marker over Obří hřeben to the summit. Conversely, the most challenging but visually most rewarding route starts again in Pec pod Sněžkou and leads through Obří důl and Obří sedlo. Its length is 7 kilometres, and during the summer season, visitors can also visit the Kovárna mine along the way, which commemorates the history of mining in the Krkonoše mountains.

A starting point can also be Špindlerův Mlýn. This blue trail leads through the Údolí Bílého Labe (White Elbe Valley). All routes can be combined with one another to make the most of the ascent to Sněžka. However, the Krkonoše are not just about Sněžka. These mountains are attractive to visitors throughout the entire year.

They truly offer something for everyone. Therefore, a holiday in the Krkonoše mountains appears to be a perfect plan that cannot disappoint. Visitors are invited to book comfortable accommodation in the vicinity of Sněžka or another Krkonoše attraction that appeals to them, and to enjoy their well-deserved days of rest with family or friends. The Krkonoše rightfully belong among the most visited places in the country, and one can be sure that they will fall in love with them as well. All that remains is to set off.

Ideal for families and beginners

Ski areál Svoboda nad Úpou is the smallest and most tranquil centre within the SkiResort ČERNÁ HORA – PEC complex. It is situated in the picturesque town of Svoboda nad Úpou in the Krkonoše Mountains, at an altitude ranging from 530 to 600 metres above sea level. Thanks to its gentle slopes, the resort is specifically designed for families with children and beginner skiers who are seeking a safe environment for their first skiing attempts.

The centre offers three ski slopes with a total length of approximately 1.1 kilometres. There are three blue (easy) slopes available: Duncan 1 (350 metres), Duncan 2 (350 metres) and the U lesa slope (350 metres). Transport for skiers is provided by three Poma-type ski lifts with a total capacity of approximately 2,000 persons per hour. The lifts are named Duncan (350 metres), U lesa 1 (250 metres) and U lesa 2 (350 metres). All slopes are equipped with an artificial snow-making system and are regularly groomed. On selected days, usually from Thursday to Saturday during the main season, evening skiing is also available on the Duncan 1 and Duncan 2 slopes. The resort also includes a children's ski school and an equipment rental shop.

How to get there

Ski areál Svoboda nad Úpou is located directly in the town of Svoboda nad Úpou, which lies on the main E67 road between Trutnov and Pec pod Sněžkou. A free car park with sufficient capacity is available to visitors directly at the resort. It is also possible to reach the town by public transport. The nearest bus stop is Svoboda nad Úpou, náměstí, from where it is a short walk to the resort. Svoboda nad Úpou also has a railway station on the Trutnov – Svoboda nad Úpou line, from where it is also possible to continue on foot. Within the SkiResort ČERNÁ HORA – PEC, connections between the resorts are provided by ski buses during the main season, which stop in the town.

What you can discover in the surroundings

Svoboda nad Úpou serves as an ideal starting point for exploring the eastern Krkonoše Mountains. Tourists may ascend to the landmark of the Krkonoše, Sněžka (1,603 m a.s.l.), to which marked tourist trails lead, or take a cable car from nearby Pec pod Sněžkou. In the neighbouring Janské Lázně, there is the Stezka korunami stromů Krkonoše and a cabin cable car to Černá hora. Hiking trails will also lead you to the Modré kameny lookout, offering views of the Krkonoše. For history lovers, the town offers the Pohádkové Krkonoše – an exhibition of Krkonoše fairy-tale characters. Near Svoboda nad Úpou, visitors can also discover the lesser-known natural phenomenon of Svobodský kras, which includes, for example, the Medvědí jeskyně.

Retropark Sejfy – this forest swimming pool can be found near the village of Mladé Buky, about 1 km to the north. It is one of the few swimming pools in the Krkonoše mountains. The most important feature of the swimming pool is a 50-metre-long pool with a gradually sloping bottom. At the same time, there is space here for various sports activities and relaxation. Visitors may enjoy a pleasant environment thanks to the natural character of the swimming pool. Summer camps or school trips are regularly organised here.

In addition to the pool, the complex includes grass and clay courts, an area for beach volleyball, a softball batting tee, two ping-pong tables, and an inflatable climbing wall. Equipment and gear for all offered sports are available for rent. For children, there is not only a paddling pool but also a children's playground and a sandpit. Sun loungers and benches are available by the pool, or visitors may spread out on the sunny hillside, which also offers shaded spots. Changing rooms and showers (cold water is free, warm water is available via a coin-operated machine) are an essential part of the swimming pool. Should you be arriving by car, please note that parking is free. It is also possible to arrive by bike, as racks are prepared.

Visitors to the swimming pool will certainly appreciate the refreshment options. The complex includes a restaurant with a capacity for 80 guests, with dozens of additional seats on the summer terrace and under the pergola. The staff is happy to organise family celebrations or company gatherings. In addition to food and views of nature, the restaurant also offers a children's corner and darts or board games.

The swimming pool was established as early as the 1930s, when Josef Siegel from Mladé Buky built a concrete pool, which was fed by a stream from the Rýchory mountains. This natural swimming pool also featured a stylish log-cabin pub. Since the first season, which began on 24 July 1932, the swimming pool became a very popular destination for vacationers; on period postcards, it is possible to see the pool and adjacent grassy slopes full of people. After World War II, a Sokol district youth settlement with log cabins and a tent camp grew here. After February 1948, it was transformed into a pioneer settlement. Depending on who owned the swimming pool at the time, it alternately experienced better and worse times, until it was eventually closed. The swimming pool was reopened on 21 July 2002 after an expensive reconstruction of not only the pool but also the buildings and the complex. The year 2006 also brought a new multifunctional building, Rotunda. In 2009, the camping part of the complex was reconstructed.

And if you have had enough of swimming and would like to experience something else? You may walk along the Dolní Sejfy – Zlatá cesta educational trail. Or you may drive to Svoboda nad Úpou, where you can visit the Farmapark Muchomůrka, where your children will be entertained. If you go further to Janské Lázně, you may enjoy the healing effects of thermal water. Or you may climb up to the Stezka korunami stromů and enjoy an incredible view.

Book your accommodation and pack your swimwear!

Zámek Trutnov. This is a town castle transformed into a place of history and culture

On the site where a castle stood in the 13th century (some references even mention the year 1260), there is now a Renaissance-style building housing the Muzeum Podkrkonoší v Trutnově. The castle underwent numerous reconstructions – it experienced a significant Renaissance renovation in the first half of the 16th century and was destroyed after the Thirty Years' War.

What the château offers

The château building combines a historical atmosphere with modern use. In its basement, there are preserved remains of the original castle premises, which are currently used as a restaurant and music club. The upper floors of the building are dedicated to the Muzeum Podkrkonoší, which engagingly presents the rich history of the entire region through modern exhibitions.

Who is the château intended for

The château is an ideal destination for visitors who wish to explore the history of the region not only through classic tours but also through vivid presentations and interactive elements. Families with children, school groups, and individual tourists seeking a cultural and educational experience will all find something of interest here. The entire facility is wheelchair accessible from the town centre. Due to the nature of the interior spaces, dogs are not permitted.

How to get here and what to discover in the surroundings

The château is located directly in the historical centre of Trutnov, easily accessible on foot or by car, with parking nearby. After your visit, you may continue exploring the history of the town, visit the Zámecký park, or set out to discover the natural and cultural corners of the region.

A place where the Middle Ages meets a museum

This structure is a witness to the transformations of Trutnov from a medieval castle to a Renaissance seat and finally to a modern museum. We invite you to come and be drawn into the stories of the stone, the exhibitions, and the life of the region throughout the ages.

The town of Turnov is one of the district towns in the Královéhradecký kraj. As in every proper centre, visitors will find a landmark in the town square here as well. In Trutnov, this is represented by the Krakonošova kašna (Krakonoš Fountain), which, among other things, points to the proximity of our largest mountain range, the Krkonoše. Originally, until 1605, only a smaller wooden fountain stood here, which was subsequently replaced by a new one. A dragon made of white sandstone stood out on it, and for this reason, it was called the Dračí studna (Dragon Well). In 1892, it was replaced by the Krakonošova kašna.

The author of the design was a professor at the Trutnov secondary technical school, J. Kirschner. The fountain consists of a granite basin and a sandstone core. And, of course, there is also a metal sculpture of the mountain guardian, Krakonoš. Interestingly, a tin box containing documentary information about this structure was placed in the central part of the well.

The original statue of Krakonoš was manufactured at the A. Castner art foundry in Berlin. However, as it was already considerably damaged by age and weather conditions over time, it was replaced in 2001 by a bronze replica from the workshop of J. Janeček from Vamberk. Since 2015, Krakonoš has been joined by four dwarf companions, so-called gnomes. Their creator is the Trutnov native P. Skavová.

The Krakonošova studna (Krakonoš Well) is a wonderful place for relaxation. Visitors are invited to stop here during their wanderings through Trutnov and soak up the atmosphere. The surrounding picturesque historical houses and their arcades will also provide shelter in case of wind or rain.

Should the weather be unfavourable, it is recommended to "take cover" while also learning something new at the Muzeum Podkrkonoší. It will introduce several gems of the Trutnovsko region in the form of replicas of castles, chateaux, and rural homesteads. Conversely, on a hot summer day, pleasant refreshment can be found at the MEBYS Trutnov summer swimming pool.

So, would you like to see the lord of the mountains, Krakonoš, or visit another one of Trutnov's attractions? What is holding you back? Plan your holiday and start looking for suitable accommodation in the Trutnovsko region. There are many options here; family cottages, comfortable apartments, and even multi-star hotels or guesthouses will provide a place where you can rest your head at night and recharge your energy for a new day full of experiences. And if you wish to start your tour with the aforementioned icon of the Trutnov square, finding suitable accommodation near the Krakonošova kašna will not be difficult with the help of the MegaUbytko portal. We wish you a pleasant stay!

Ski lift Nebíčko. That is winter well-being in the Jeseníky

Between Police nad Metují and Bukovice, in the picturesque foothills of the Adršpašsko-teplické skály, lies a cosy winter resort where winter rings with children's laughter and naturally refreshes visitors. The Lyžařský vlek Nebíčko represents a smaller, compact resort that, thanks to its location and welcoming character, is a great choice for families with children, absolute beginners, and anyone wishing to enjoy snow fun without stress and long queues. Short waiting times, an uncomplicated slope, and a relaxed atmosphere in a peaceful environment make it an ideal destination for a carefree winter day.

A small lift, big joy on the slope

The heart of the entire resort is a single lift with a length of 250 metres and a pleasant vertical drop of roughly 32 metres, perfectly tailored for first confident turns, children's lessons, and uninhibited winter fun. Thanks to high-quality artificial lighting, visitors can enjoy the popular evening skiing here and pleasantly extend their winter day. In addition to classic skiing, Nebíčko also thinks of lovers of other snow activities, sledging enthusiasts or snowboarding aficionados will find satisfaction here, with fun obstacles such as a rail or a T-BOX awaiting them. Provided current snow conditions permit, tracks for cross-country skiers are also usually maintained in the surrounding area.

Who Nebíčko is tailored for

This friendly resort naturally attracts families with children and beginner skiers who are looking for a calm and welcoming environment for their first steps on snow. It will be appreciated by all who desire a quality winter experience while wishing to avoid large resorts, complicated organisation, and long journeys. From an operational perspective, it is good to know that partial wheelchair accessibility to the lift is ensured and the slope itself is easily accessible. For hygienic and safety reasons, however, entering the resort with a dog is prohibited.

How to get here and where to head next

The journey to the winter resort of Nebíčko is much easier than it might seem. Parking for visitors is prepared in the immediate vicinity of the lift, right next to the popular cycling routes leading from Police nad Metují, making the location easily accessible both by car and for those who set out on a shorter winter walk on foot. Furthermore, the resort offers a great combination of sporting activities and nature discovery from here, visitors can easily continue on winter trips to nearby Adršpašsko or the deep Broumovské stěny, which offer a unique spectacle in their winter attire.

A panoramic view from the Jestřebí hory mountains

Built on the Markoušovický hřeben ridge (708 m a.s.l.) near Trutnov, Radvanice, and Velké Svatoňovice, the Slavětínská rozhledna observation tower offers a vivid view of the landscape. It was established in 2014 on the initiative of Lesy ČR, reaches a height of approximately 22–23 m, and the observation platform is located at a height of 18 m. The tower combines wooden elements with a steel structure and a spiral staircase with oak railings and flooring. A wooden sculpture of a hawk is placed above the main pillar of the tower. The area is complemented by a gazebo, information boards, and a sandstone memorial stone.

What the lookout reveals

The observation tower offers a unique 360° view of the diverse landscape. In clear weather, it is possible to see the panorama of the Krkonoše mountains, including Sněžka, Luční hora, and Žalý. The horizon is further lined by Rýchory, Javoří hory and Soví hory, Adršpašsko-teplické skály, Broumovské stěny, Stolové hory, and Králický Sněžník. With good visibility, one can see as far as more distant points, such as Kunětická hora or Poříčí.

Who is this place designed for

The lookout is an ideal destination for lovers of mountain landscapes, panoramic views, and photography. It is suitable for both hikers and cyclists who wish to experience a view of the surrounding nature without the need for a demanding ascent. Marked trails lead to the observation tower, for example from Trutnov (following the green trail, approx. 3.6 km) or from Palkovice and Paseky. Part of the journey can be completed by car, followed by only a short walk along the green trail. Due to the nature of the site, entry with dogs is not permitted.

How to get here and what your visit will bring

Parking is available near the villages of Radvanice or Lhota. This is followed by a marked ascent (green route) or a relaxing trip on a mountain bike. With a dreamlike view, you can expect not only relaxation but also a connection with the forest silence and the history of post-war recreation in the Jestřebí hory mountains.

A lookout that will take you higher than your thoughts

The Slavětínská rozhledna observation tower combines natural beauty with architecture in harmony. Every step up is a journey to a view that delights the eyes and the soul. And you will see the mountains from a truly different perspective.

Family winter in the heart of the Jestřebí Mountains

In the settlement of Studénka near Radvanice, on the northern slope of the Jestřebí Mountains near Trutnov, you will find a smaller ski area ideal for families and beginners. It offers fun with three ski tows, evening skiing, and comfortable facilities without the need to travel far into the mountains.

Winter fun in a friendly atmosphere

You can enjoy skiing without stress or long waits. The resort offers three ski lifts tailored to all skill levels. From a large 400-meter lift with a 100-meter vertical drop for more experienced riders, to a medium 170-meter option for beginners and children, and finally a small 100-meter lift dedicated exclusively to the little ones. Perfect slope conditions are maintained through regular grooming with a snowcat, and technical snowmaking is used whenever necessary. If you would like to enjoy skiing under the stars, the resort is illuminated for night skiing three times a week. Complete facilities are a matter of course, where you will find a ski bar, ski and snowboard rental, a ski school, and a free parking lot with a capacity of 60 to 70 cars.

Who is the resort ideal for?

This resort is perfect for families with children and beginner skiers looking for a comfortable, clear, and safe environment. If you are one of those who prefer a friendly approach and calmer skiing over large, bustling centers, you will feel very comfortable here. Although the approach to the resort is flat and convenient, the slopes themselves offer a gentle incline that will pleasantly warm you up with every run. We would like to inform visitors that due to the nature of the resort, bringing dogs is not particularly suitable, in order to ensure the safety of all skiers on the slope.

How to get here and what’s nearby

The ski tow is located about 17 km from Trutnov, accessible by car or bike, with parking right at the area. It connects to cross-country skiing trails suitable also for winter hiking. It can easily be combined with trips to the rock town of Adršpach – skiing followed by a walk makes for a perfect winter day.

Winter joy just around the corner

Radvanice Ski Tow stands out for its accessibility, family atmosphere, and good facilities. It is a place that invites you to enjoy movement, snowy silence, and comfortable skiing relaxation in a true “home away from home” style.
