Observation tower on Smrk

To the observation tower on Smrk (1,124 m) we walked from Świeradów Zdrój. All hiking to the top and back took us 5h. In the easier variant it is recommendable to take gondola lift in Świeradów Zdrój Ski&Sun and walk to Smrk from the upper station of Gondola. (2,5 km from station to the pick). On the way back in the winter we had a great sledges ride. From the tower on Smrk is beautiful view 360 degrees on Jizera Mountains, Giant Mountains (Krkonoše) and Polish lowland areas.

On the way we carry the smaller kid in the baby carrier or she ride on the sledges.

Pancir: view on Alps

From the Špičácké sedlo (with big parking) leads the path to the top of Pancir (Horská Chata Pancíř) where you can get rest in the restaurant. By the good weather you can by lucky to see the Alps. The road is fully suitable for prams.

Krkavec - a pick and a tower with view on Pilsen

Krkavec ia a pick and tower with view on Pilsen. Nice walk through the forest. More touristic paths that lead to the top are suitable also for the pram/buggy. It is worth to check opening hours of the tower to make sure it is open. We had also the chance to buy sausages in the bar and roast on the fire. Very nice atmosphere.

Havran

To Havran we walked following blue touristic path starting in Gehenhammer from Gehenhammer Mühle. On the way visiting the ruins of the castle build by Chodove in XIV century called castle Schellenberg (Burg/Hrad Schellenberg). The details of the path can be checked here. It is walk full of the beautiful scenery, especially in the fall when the forests are full of the colors.

Hazmburk on the way Berlin Prague

Hazmburk is a scenic peak with the ruins of the Gothic castle. Short and nice walk. In the season castle is open for the tourists and you can go to the top of the white tower.

Magdeburg: colorful miracle

It is a wonder that Magdeburg is so pretty today. It was completely destroyed in the past (in 1631, in 1943 - 1945) but still people rebuild it. Today it is nice city full of different styles and well maintained. Very nice place for a walk around the city centre or along the Elberadweg which cresses the city in two alternative paths.

Fürstenberg/Havel city: the sign of our time

To Fürstenberg/Havel we get by very nice bicycle road from Berlin Spandau(126km) called Havelradweg. The road goes nearly all the time out of car roads and it is often better quality the those car roads. From Fürstenberg you can the the regional train back to Berlin. It is quite lowly city, although also with the dark history from the XX century. But the biggest impression made on me the main square: On the one side is the evangelic church from XIX century and on the other side NETTO! Build also from the sand bricks, but in XXI century style. Each side of the square shows what is the most important value of their times.
