About the trip

The classic half-day walk: from the apartments up to Ručičky and on along the ridge path to the Dvoračky hut (1,140 m a.s.l.) with the well-known bakery at Štumpovka. Marked trails, with a steeper final section. Return the same way, or ride the Horní Domky cable car down.

Personal tip from us

Set off in the morning so you catch a cake from the bakery at Dvoračky – they often sell out by the afternoon.

Tips

  • From Dvoračky the route can be extended to Harrachovy kameny or towards Lysá hora.
  • The way back can be shortened by the Horní Domky cable car when it runs.
  • Take enough water – there is no water source between the apartments and Ručičky.

Safety

  • The final climb to Dvoračky is long – plan with a time reserve.
  • Weather on the ridges changes fast, bring a waterproof layer.
  • Cars are only allowed as far as the Rezek saddle car park, not to the hut.
