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.

Nature in Berlin: Lübars - walk around the peat bogs and swamps

Lübars used to be a village and till today keeps the old style and atmosphere - beautiful place reachable with Berlin Bus line 222. Village itslef is worth visiting but even more the protected green ladscape north from it. It is 7km walk that perfectly fits kids and is also doable with pram. On the way you can meat: horses, sand dunes, swamps, small rivers, lakes, birds and many other those small things that makes kids keep walking.

Jeseniky - mountains for the mountain bikers and prams

Jeseniky are the moutains for bikers. Not only the most popular peaks like Praděd and Dlouhé stráně are reachble by asphalt road but alls lot of others. Through most of the forests and touristic paths go roads suitable for mountain and even crossroad bikes. Check the detail on mapy.cz. We we also lucky to visit Jeseniky when they were full of mushrooms and you one could just collect them along the road. In Karlova Studánka one can drink healthy waters.

Dlouhé stráně

We had no bikes with but we rent a scooter

Karlova Studánka , lovely town in the valley

Museum and park: Orawski Park Etnograficzny w Zubrzycy Górnej

 It was interesting to see how people lived before, squeezing linseed oil. What the sawmill looked like, etc. There is also a picnic area inside - it is worth taking something to eat and drink with you because the area is large and you will need some rest during your stay.

 

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.

Botanischer Garten Berlin before Christmas - the quintessence of German decorations

Fourth year in the raw Botanischer Garten prepares a trial in the night through decorated with lights parts of the garden. Nice walk with children - fairy tail atmosphere. I only recommend to come short before the opening - at the beginning is less people (and maybe short before closing too) because in the middle the crowd can spoil the atmosphere.

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.

Kunsterspring: all day nature experience

In Kunsterspring you can spend a nice day with all day nature experience.

Kochquelle. The all valley in Kunsterspring is full of springs. The most insteresting from them is Kochquelle (Boiling spring). The temperature of the water is 8 degrees Celsius in winter and summer. The name is coming from its outlook which is like in boiling t pot. The water is very clean at offers a living space for sensitives crampons. The path in the valley is not suitable for bicycles but we made it with pram (terrain one).

Smokehouse. Near the entrance to the valley is a smokehouse with fishes from own farm. Opened every day 9-17. Tasty place for lunch.

Zoo. On the other side to the entrance to the valley is a local zoo. I liked it because it is place with mainly native species typical for our climate - a bit like a farm but animals are not kept as food but as a pets.

Loucna (Mountain)

Loučná (956 m) is the highest point in east side of Ore Mountains and, exceptionally for this region, not covered with forest. Thank to it there is beautiful view of the valley. 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)

Kokotské rybníky (Dyšina) nature trail

Nice trail through nature and archaeological site of middle ages village.

Kašperské Hory/Bergreichenstein - Jewel hiden among the the Bohemian Forest

Kašperské Hory is a mountainous resort rich in the history and attractions. Main square is full of restaurants and hotels. Delicious food, buildings are renovated and the offer is reach. We enjoyed most during the visit in Glassworks were we could blow our own mugs. From the city Kašperské Hory we walked through the fields and forest to the castle Kasperk build by Charles IV. Great atmosphere inside and interesting guide tour - suited for the time of the year. We learn about the Christmases in the middle ages castle and my son played the Charles IV himself.There is also possibility to ski. Definitely worth of visiting for the few days.
