Insider tips

Check wind conditions before ascending, as the summit can be significantly cooler and windier than the town valley.

Use the chairlift for the ascent to save energy, but consider walking down via the marked forest trails for better scenery.

Bring binoculars to identify specific peaks across the Krkonoše range.

What to avoid

Attempting to hike up from the valley without proper footwear or sufficient water, as the climb is steep and strenuous.
