Hello Discovereres!

 

You’re cordially invited to a new two-day on-foot crossing of the Krkonoše Mountains.

 

This time, we are going to traverse the mountains from north to south, from the Polish town of Szklarska Poręba, to Špindlerův Mlýn on the Czech side.

 

This route does NOT include Mt. Sněžka, the highest point of the Czech Republic, and it is easier than the trip last year.

Nevertheless, you still need to be in good shape for this “easier” trip. Please read the difficulty info below.

 

On the first day, we will explore the Polish side of the mountains around Szklarska Poręba, a lovely mountain resort town.

 

For the night, we will stay in a mountain chalet at 1260 m. a.s.l. The accommodation will include Sunday breakfast.

 

On the second day we will start on the ridge trail and later descend to the charming Labský důl, a glacial valley leading to Špindlerův Mlýn, the most renown mountain resort of the Czech side of the Krkonoše.
