Highlights
- We start with a warm-up by ascending to the Jizerské hory mountain range. There are pleasant paved car-free tracks as we reach the upper levels of the Jizerské hory nature reserve
- The profile of the terrain changes upon entering the Krkonoše (Giant mountain) national park. Soon after leaving Harrachov, we start a long uphill climb to Dvoračky cottage. You will be rewarded with wonderful vistas of the Czech lowlands, far to the south of the Giant mountains
- Right through the forests to Strážné before we climb again. This is the most demanding uphill climb of the route – 610m elevation over 10 kilometers. Enjoy wonderful views of Black Hill and the valleys below
- The remainder of the route is an easy 5 kilometer descent to Pec pod Sněžkou
- Particularly for nature lovers, we suggest continuing cycling further east through Poland to enjoy picturesque landscapes of unspoilt nature reserves
