Žacléř – Prkenný Důl - Rýchory - Žacléř

Stachelberg Fortress, romantic Snowy Cottages, Rýchory with the I zone of the national park and overgrown Scottish Highland cattle. And in favorable weather, beautiful views to boot. All this is offered by this (at least in terms of kilometers) short route. But... At the beginning you must conquer one of the longest climbs around. There's no need to be afraid, but a certain physical foundation is required. From Rýchorské Square you ride down to Prkenný Důl, pass a pond and in a sharp left curve turn right. Here is the lowest point of the route (475 m). End of the descent and the ascent begins. Around Stachelberg, across the main road up to the Rýchor Forest: 6 kilometers and 500 meters of elevation. Here at the intersection you turn towards the Snowy Cottages with a view of the Vraní Mountains and into Poland. A bit further on is the highest point of the route, 1000 meters above sea level. From here you start descending to the road between Žacléř and the Rýchorská hut, which you will see directly in front of you. If you want, just turn left and in less than a kilometer you will be there. Right by the road there is also a pen with a small herd of Scottish Highland cattle. To return to Žacléř, you must turn right. Next, there will be a five-kilometer descent around the Hubertus hut up to the Rýchorské Square.
