1. Rýchory – A Kingdom of Nature and Panoramic Views
One of the most popular destinations in the area is Rýchory, a part of the Krkonoše Mountains known for its wild nature and breathtaking views. Set out on the Rýchory Nature Trail, which leads you through Dvorský Forest to Rýchorská Bouda, offering stunning views of the Krkonoše panorama.

2. Žacléř – A Town with a Rich History
The town of Žacléř, located just a stone's throw from your chalets, has a rich history and many interesting sites. Visit the Žacléř Museum, where you can learn about the history of coal mining, which played a significant role in the region's development. The exhibition also includes collections devoted to the nature and cultural monuments of the Krkonoše. A walk through the town’s historic center will reveal picturesque houses and a lovely square, perfect for relaxing and enjoying a cup of coffee.

For architecture enthusiasts: Be sure to visit Žacléř Castle, the town’s dominant feature. Although the castle is not open to the public, its exterior and surrounding park offer a pleasant stop during your trip.

3. Sněžka – The Highest Mountain in the Czech Republic
If you're looking for a real challenge and want to experience something truly unique, set out on a hike to Sněžka, the highest mountain in the Czech Republic. You can choose from several routes, with the most famous starting in Pec pod Sněžkou. The hike is demanding, but the reward is incredible views of the entire Krkonoše ridge and the surrounding landscape. For those who prefer a more comfortable route, there's the option to take the cable car from Pec to the summit.

Alternative: If you prefer a less strenuous hike, try shorter trips around Obří Důl, where you’ll find fascinating rock formations and waterfalls that will impress you with their beauty.

4. Pomezní Boudy and Jánské Lázně – Relaxation and Nature

Visit the Treetop Walkway, which offers a unique view of the forests from above. This attraction is very popular with both children and adults, and we highly recommend visiting it in any season.
