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.

Mangart: mecca for motorcycles (Slovenia), Via ferrrata to Mangart

To the foot of the Mangart mountain there is a road, a dream rod for motorcycles and sufficiently wide for the cars, but only for people with strong nerves (although there were families with kids, older people etc.). The road goes above 2000 m, so the one that do not want to walk can be in high mountains just by car. At the top of the road there is a hut (Koča na Mangrtskem sedlu (1906 m)) where you can eat tasty.

From the hut we walked to the peak by Slovenia side (via ferrata). Italian side (without via ferrata) was still partially covered by the snow. The Views are amazing. Ferrata is not very difficult, I would say for kids 10+ with exprience.

Montasio, Jôf di Montasio, Farm Malga Montasio, Montasio Cheese

We came across Montasio on the recommendation of one Italian aplinist we met on another route. She was right, it's a great place for aplinists, but also for children. Everyone will find something for himself.

You get up to the valley by car or walking from Sella Nevea (most people are by car). At the end of the narrow road there is a parking place (it is possible to camp near the parking place ). From there you can walk to Farm Malga Montasio, buy there delitius chees (I liked moste Riccota) or jogurt from the milk from the cows that live in the meadows around. You can also walk to Refuge Giacomo di Brazza. Both aler suitable for childrne or even prams and both have menu for lunch/dinner. Around you have beautiful scnery. We meet there many happy familes.

If you have streghts for more, you can walk or go via ferrata to upper parts. We made it up to Jôf di Montasio. It is amazing but also you often go over the precipice.

Slovak Paradise

Slovak Paradise is a paradise. Beautiful nature and optimal conditions for hot days: rocks, forest, river, wtarefals protecting from the high temperature. Main recommendation is: start early in the morning, because later it might be crowded. We started around 7 in the morning and was nearly empty. We chose the trial: Prielom Hornadu and Kláštorská roklina. On the end (peak) of the Kláštorská roklina are  the ruins of a Carthusian monastery and the restaurant. We did the trail with 4 and 10 year old. 4 year old was on the rope of me husband for the security reasons.

Königstein (Sachsen) by land and water

Surrounding of Konigstein offers many different outdoor activities (and many camping places). We spent one day in canoe going down the Elbe river to Pirna (and the way back by train: we just let the air out of the rubber canoes and took them with us to the train). Second day we walk through the rocks to the pick: Lilienstein viewpoint. I liked both but walking made the kids more tired.

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.

On the spot there are of course great hiking tours (fir bigger children) but also huge aqua park (Tatralandia) lake and river. Enjoy.

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.
