Czech Republic

                                                            Krkonose/Giant mountains

Tips:

This walk-area is easy and quick to get to through the highways of the Netherlands and Germany. You can by good walking maps everywhere in the area. In 1993 finding a place to sleep and eat was no problem at all and thanks to the increasing winter-sports possibilities ( Pec, Spindleruv-Mlyn) it only will become better and better .

 

Easter 1993: a trail in the borderland of Poland and the Czech Republic, among which the ski-resorts of Pec and Spindleruv-Mlyn (spinning wheel). On foot a great area to discover. Highest place: the Snezka mountain ( 1602 m.), at Easter completely in the snow and winds and with difficulties in finding the paths and marks! But: there is a post-office!

So, bring a compass  and wear suitable clothes and shoes! In the valleys green spring begins.
