Žacléř – Horní Albeřice – Niedamirów (PL) - Žacléř

The shorter circuit through Horní Albeřice leads through beautiful nature and, in good weather, offers interesting views as well as a visit to the Polish border area. From the square in Žacléř, however, it is first necessary to climb to Rýchorský Kříž. After Bouda Hubertus, you will be rewarded with views into the Polish border area with the Bukówka reservoir and the Vraní Mountains. At the intersection near Rýchorský Kříž, you can view a small herd of Scottish Highland cattle and continue above Horní Albeřice. The road runs along the state border, with Sněžka often visible on the left. From the waypoint Nad Horními Albeřicemi, it is just a short distance to the border crossing. Here, you can enjoy a beautiful view of the Sudetes landscape; there's a resting area, a map of the Krkonoš, and informative panels. This route was taken by Protestants during their exile to Poland following the Battle of White Mountain. The next section is a steep descent into the village of Niedamirów. Near the waypoint Parada, Dom trzech kultur, you can view an interesting building of the cultural center, and then ride through a typically agricultural village until you reach the turn-off for the Bobr border crossing, which is already located in the territory of Žacléř. An interesting variant of the trip could be to skip the crossing at Bobr and continue from Niedamirów through Opawa and Szczepanów to Lubawka and return via the Královec border crossing. This would extend the route by an additional 17 km.
