Distances for the cross-country and ski-touring routes come from the trail operators, not from a route planner – a groomed track does not follow the summer path. Elevation and time are estimates.

How to get there

About the trip

The cross-country tracks around Paseky nad Jizerou run along open ridges between timbered cottages, with views to both sides. From Paseky to the stone Štěpánka lookout tower above Příchovice is just under five kilometres, so about ten there and back, with three hundred metres of climb. The start is in Paseky, which you drive to. For a longer day you can join the Okolo Hvězdy and Okolo Bílé skály loops – 7 km the inner one, 13 km the outer.

Personal tip from us

It is worth stopping at the Memorial of Forgotten Patriots in Paseky on the way – it keeps shorter hours in winter, so check before you go.
