Catch a bus from Prague or order a private transfer already from Prague Airport to your first accommodation in Jánské Lázně (check details for rates of private transfers from Prague/Prague Airport with us). Time permitting in the afternoon you can opt for a skywalk in tree canopies of the local forest. Jánské Lázně is a small spa town in the Czech part of the Giant Mountains with an extraordinary, famous for its history and hot mineral spring.

Climb the Black Mountains (Černá Hora hill) by cable car and check the viewpoint from the top (the predecessor of today's view tower there was built back in 1896). Explore the nearby peat bog, spanning over more than 70 hectares and housing a variety of endangered plants. A true creation of nature, the latter is 6000 years old, and 2,50m deep. Walk the educational trail to learn more about the features of this area and then descend to Pec pod Sněžkou - a popular mountain resort, located within the area of the national park.

Board again a cable car up to Sněžka - the highest peak in the Czech Republic (1602m). Located on the border with Poland, this is the most prominent point of the Silesian Ridge in the Krkonoše Mountains. Follow the ridge to Luční Bouda (Meadow hut) - the oldest mountain hut in the Krkonoše Mountains and one of the largest in Europe. Gradually through the centuries it became an important economic, commercial, research and tourist center. Check the gardens of Krakono (housing rare mountain plants), then cross the Kozí Hřbety (Goats Ridge) erosion ridge and descend to Špindlerův Mlýn - one of the most frequented ski resorts in the country.

Today you will make a circular hiking trek to Zlaté Návrší (Golden Hill) and Labe (Elbe) River springs. This is a real Ice-age educational and history trail full of places of interest. Take a cable car to Medvědín hill and spend some time to climb the scenic lookout of Šmídova vyhlídka and admire the views from there. Next on the list as you walk are Vrbata hill, the chalet of the same name, Hanč and Vrbata monument (built in memory of the tragic event in a skiing contest on 24 March 1913) and the tallest in the Czech Republic Pancava Waterfalls (148m). Walk past the Sněžné jámy (Snow pits) deep corries and Dívčí kameny rocks (Maiden Rocks) - one of the most popular rock formations in the Krkonose mountains. They emerged during the Mesozoic and Tertiary eras, when erosion removed the less resistant surrounding rocks away of the bare granite core blocks that had been hidden deeper underground. The walking trail proceeds towards the Harrachovy Kameny rocks, the Ambrožova viewpoint, the springs of the Labe (Elbe) River (the longest Czech river, and one of the longest in Europe at all), the Labe waterfalls, Mužské Kameny rocks (similar origin as the Maiden Rocks you past previously) and Špindlerova bouda hut, which was used as a prison for French, British and American officers during the Second World War. Your day will end by taking a bus back to Špindlerův Mlýn resort.

Today you will explore the upper parts of the glacial valley of Labský důl, the adjacent flat peak of the Kotel Mountain (1435m), and the Kotelné jámy corries. Next on the list is Dvoračky hut, a very old establishment from 1707, used originally as a mountain farmhouse for livestock inhabiting the surrounding vast meadows. The scenery in clear weather towards the nearby ridges is superb. Eventually you will descend into the mountain resort of Rokytnice nad Jizerou, dominated by the magnificent Lysá hora and Kotel Mountains.

Services end after breakfast. Check details for rates of private transfers to Prague/Prague Airport with us.
