About the trip

A half-day loop into the hills above the Jizera. From the apartments through Rokytnice to the scattered cottages of Paseky nad Jizerou, home to the Museum of Forgotten Patriots. You then drop into the Jizera valley and ride back on cycle route 17 (Greenway Jizera) through Jablonec nad Jizerou, then on cycle route 22 (Sudetská) to Rokytnice. Quiet asphalt lanes and gravel tracks; the climb to Paseky is short but steep.

Personal tip from us

Combine the ride with a museum visit – it is one of the few things around here that works in the rain too.

Tips

  • Check the museum opening hours in advance, they are limited off season.
  • The climb to Paseky is short but steep – shift down in good time.
  • The return along the Greenway Jizera follows the river and is almost flat – the nicest part of the loop.

Safety

  • The lanes above Rokytnice are narrow with no verge – ride in single file.
  • The descents back to Rokytnice are fast, watch out for potholes.
