About the trip

A loop to the eastern side, to places most guests never reach. From the apartments up forest roads to the Rezek saddle, then down to Vítkovice v Krkonoších below Zlaté návrší and back along the Jizera valley through Jablonec nad Jizerou. A mix of gravel forest roads and asphalt lanes, with one continuous climb right at the start.

Personal tip from us

Rezek is a saddle from which you can carry on to Benecko or Horní Mísečky – add it if you have legs left.

Tips

  • The climb to Rezek is the hardest part; the rest of the loop is considerably easier.
  • Vítkovice lies right below Zlaté návrší – you can see the ridge the walking routes lead to.
  • The return on the Jizera Greenway follows the river and is almost flat.

Safety

  • The forest tracks up to Rezek get muddy after rain – a mountain bike is advisable.
  • The descent from Rezek to Vítkovice is steep and gravelly in places.
