About the trip

An easy loop for a morning or an evening. From the apartments up to the Hlídka na Stráži viewpoints (Liška, Medvěd, Ovce, Horník) overlooking the whole Rokytnice valley and the Krkonoše ridges, then back through Rokytnice nad Jizerou. Asphalt and forest paths, gentle climbing.

Personal tip from us

The best light for photos is an hour before sunset – and the way home is all downhill.

Tips

  • The Okolo Rokytnice educational trail covers the same ground – it has boards and suits families better.
  • On the way you pass the new photo point – a steel wave looking out at Lysá hora and Kotel.
  • A great choice for days when the ridges are covered in cloud.
  • The viewpoints are linked by trail markers, so you can visit all four.
  • A coffee stop in Rokytnice on the way back is worth it.

Safety

  • The wooden viewing platforms get slippery in winter.
  • The last stretch back to the apartments runs briefly along the road – watch for cars.
