One-day trip to Jizera mountain

We started from hotel Peklo. It is good starting point and also the end point - because it has very good and kids friendly restaurnat to have a rest after the trip. The trail to Jizera mountain goes nearly all the way on the bicke/pram friendly road. Last kilometer is possible only on foots (rocks and stones on the way, bickes can wait for you 1 km before the peak). The forest on the way and the view from the peak are just beautiful.

Abertamy, luxury cross country skiing with kids

Near from the center of Abertamy (Farni street) there is a Parking for technical service - starting point for ski trails(50.3708408N, 12.8152561E). There is more trials starting from there and all very well prepared. By sunny wather it is full of families and not only. One of the favurit stops on the way is bar near Červené jámy to get some drinks and snacks. Smaller or non-cross-country-skiining you can take on the sledge. We were lucky to have a sunny wather and it was a fairy tail - around half of the tail are on the open areas so you are in the full Sun. Second half is in the forest.

Rumpál: walk throught the forest and climbing with kids

In Mai is just beautiful, but some places are even more special. For example deciduous forest, befor the leaves will grow and make it dark. During the spring deciduous forest is full of flowers and very small fresh green leaves on the trees...so fresh and alive! Near Rumpal the forest is mature (protected area) with many deciduous trees and is amazing in Mai. On the top are small rocks - good for climb also with kids and a view on the part of the landscape below.

Gutštejn. Ruins like from a robber's fairy tale.

On a high rock, in a bend of the river, there are ruins of a medieval castle: Gutštejn. An improvised bridge made of fallen trees runs across the river. Around the forest. A place for a bonfire in the ruins. Fanatastic scenario for a joint sitting by the fire and crazy running around the land for children.

Dobra Voda - Křemelná walk with sledges

Relaxing walk through the forest to the peak of Kremelna from Dobra Voda. On the top there is also a forest and so the view is limited. Only on the south side of the mountain there is partial view on the other mountains. We walked there in the winter and this was great rout for the sledges. Back to Dobra Voda we get after sunset, by the full moon. Picturesquare atmosphere. The water source near the church is open and accessible all the time. We drink the water and go back home very happy.

Bečov nad Teplou, small city, lots of attraction

Castle in Bečov nad Teplou guards second biggest treasure in Czechia (after crown jewels on the first place): Reliquary of St. Maurus. The tour with the guide is fascinating like good criminal. The landscape around is beautiful: the town itself, rocks (for climbing), river and two Via ferratas in botanical garden. One very easy and small - perfect to try out with small kid (4.5 year old did it on my eyes :-)). We spent beautiful day in Becov.

Skiing on Plešivec (Pleßberg)

Even thought this winter was warm and with little snowfall on Plesivec the trials with artificial snowing were open (at the beginning of march) and one could enjoy the snow and sun together. The conditions there are perfect for the families with small and bigger kids (small hill for kids to learn and indoor play room to get rest).

Very easy nice route, perfect for sledges and small kids (going on the sledges if they do not want to walk). We want to Železná Ruda (Pancíř) by train and from Brcalnik by train back. On the way are beautiful views (again we were lucky to see Alps from Pancir), restaurant on Pancir and water springs on the way from Mustek to Brcalnik.

On the way Berlin - Prague, walk above the clouds

The Děčínský Sněžník, 723m (German: Hoher Schneeberg) is a mountain in the Czechia Republic not far from the highway Berlin - Prague. If the weather is nice, definitely worth to take 2 hours for a walk and visit the peak. Suitable also for small kids and prams. On the top is view tower and restaurant with traditional Czech kitchen. We were lucky to be there during inversion and could admire the view on the other picks going out of on the clouds.

Tremsin (Třemšín) peak - walk in the forst

Třemšín is the peak in the southern part of the Central Bohemian Mountains Brdy. With a height of 827 m above sea level, it is the highest point of southern Brdy. Despite its dominating height, view is limited because the peak is covered with the trees. There is plan to build the tower for tourists there. Still the walk is nice, on the top is fireplace and the ruins of an old castle. On the way back we found an apple trees growing inside the forest. Still with apples in the end of December. Peak is also possible to reach with a terrain pram.

We reached the pick walking from Dlouha Louka along the blue touristic path. It is possible to go with pram, but only some more train one (e.g. like our Red Castle Sport)

Březina: prehistoric settlement, beautiful forest and views.

Březina is an early medieval and perhaps prehistoric fortified settlement near the village of the same name in Rokycany district. It is located in the western part of the Křivoklát Highlands on the hill of Hradiště. Its area is protected as a cultural monument of Czechia. To the hill leads the red marked tourist route from Březina. Path is short: definitely suitable for a walk for kids and also some prams. It leads through mixed forest with very old trees. On the top there is a small pavilion to get rest and enjoy the view. Peace with great atmosphere.
