Hello Discovereres!

 

You’re cordially invited to two-day on-foot crossing of the highest Czech mountain range. The Krkonoše form the natural border between the Czech Republic and Poland and in both countries, large areas of the mountains are designated national parks.

 

You will hike along the main ridge, from the west to the east and see many of the main attractions of the mountains, like the Mumlava Waterfall, the source of Elbe, the Elbe Waterfall, Labská bouda and of course the highest peak – the mighty Mt. Sněžka.

 

The trip will be led by a certified mountain leader and expert on Krkonoše Michal Hartl. Learn more about him on his website.

 

The overnight stay will be in Michal’s favourite mountain hotel and for Sunday lunch you’ll stop in the renown Luční bouda (not included).

 

 

LOGISTICS

Meeting on Saturday at 8:00 at Černý most Bus Station

Expected return: Sunday at 20:00, Černý most Bus Station (as always a delay is possible, avoid planning anything important for Sunday night).

 

DIFFICULTY: Medium to Demanding

(Will challenge most hikers. Good health and physical fitness is necessary)

This 2-day trek will involve 38 km of hiking and ascending some 1600 vertical metres (5250 ft). On top of that, you will need to maintain a good hiking speed to complete the route in the allocated time. If you usually walk at a steady but slow pace, this trip is too hard for you.

 

See the altitude profile of the route in the picture below:

 

 

What to take with you

Sturdy hiking shoes, windproof/waterproof jacket, hat (to protect you from sun and/or wind), sun screen, pyjamas/comfortable clothes for sleeping, toiletries.

The trip will go ahead in all weather conditions, unless a safety warning is issued by the mountain rescue service. Please dress appropriately.
