Krkonose (Giant Mountains)

The Krkonose lie on the Czech-Polish border over a lenghth of 36 km with two-thirds in the Czech Republic. They are the highest mountain range in the Czech Republic and a favourite place for winter sports and hiking. The highest peak Snezka (Snow Mountain) is 1,602 m above sea level. The mountains lie within easy reach from Prague and are well worth a few days' visit.
During winter, Krkonose provide ample skiing opportunities, both for downhill and cross-country skiing. Downhill runs feature differing degrees of difficulty, from easy blue runs, through red runs for intermediate skiers up to the most difficult black runs for serious skiers. Cross-country skiers can indulge themselves on the upper plains on the trails of various lengths.
The Krkonose national park also offers plenty of attractive walking routes. There are around 1,000 kilometres of marked colour-coded paths, with signposts at crossings, showing the distances. These paths are well maintained and will take you almost anywhere you can think of.
You may, for example, wish to visit the source of the river Labe (Elbe), which wells up above Spindleruv Mlyn.

Krusne hory

Krusne hory are situated to the west of Prague, on the Czech-German border. An entry point from Germany is Bozi Dar-Oberwiesenthal, which lies at the foot of Klinovec (1244 m), the highest peak of this mountain range. The area is popular with skiers and hikers, with good network of downhill and cross-country routes and lots of well marked walking routes. The main road through Krusne hory takes you via a spa town of Jachymov (Joachimsthal), which used to be a mining village where the first Joachimsthaler which gave its name to the Tolar, and later Dollar, was minted in the 16th century.
Further to the south lies an area rich in natural springs with many famous spa towns such as Karlovy Vary (Karlsbad), Marianske Lazne (Marienbad) or Frantiskovy Lazne.
