About the trip

The shortest climb from the apartments up to the ridge. From the house up along a marked trail to the Ručičky junction with its wooden Krakonoš statue, kiosk and benches. Return the same way, or continue to Dvoračky. Surfaced and forest paths, steady climbing with no exposed sections.

Personal tip from us

A perfect first-day walk – you get the lie of the land and see where to head next.

Tips

  • Several marked trails meet at Ručičky – you can continue to Dvoračky, Studenov or Vosecká bouda.
  • In winter the section is part of the groomed cross-country tracks – walkers should keep to the edge.
  • With children, allow extra time for the kiosk and a photo with Krakonoš.

Safety

  • Paths can be slippery in winter and after rain – wear boots with a good sole.
  • Stay on marked hiking trails.
