About the trip

An afternoon loop to the southern side of the valley, away from the main tourist flow. From the apartments through Rokytnice to Sklenařice and on to Vysoké nad Jizerou – a small town on a ridge with a view of the whole Krkonoše range from the other side. Back down into the Jizera valley and home through Jablonec nad Jizerou. Quiet asphalt lanes and gravel roads, no long climbs.

Personal tip from us

From Vysoké you see the Krkonoše from behind – you can pick out the whole ridge you may have walked.

Tips

  • The square in Vysoké nad Jizerou is a good coffee stop around halfway.
  • This loop is shorter and gentler than the other cycling routes – it fits into an afternoon.
  • The return down the Jizera valley is downhill; the last kilometre to the apartments climbs.

Safety

  • The lanes between Sklenařice and Vysoké are narrow and have no shoulder.
  • The descent from Vysoké into the valley is fast – watch for potholes and gravel in the bends.
