Medvědín Summit

Highlight • Summit

The ascent to Medvedin is best explored by bike, even though the area is in the national park. Either by serpentine on asphalt or direct ascent with up to 10% incline. Once at the top you can pause in the restaurant and enjoy the view. In addition, the cable car runs every 30 minutes in summer.

🌄 Through the Elbe Canyon to Sore Muscles

What a tour! The Elbe River has created a veritable mini-canyon here in the Giant Mountains – steep slopes, gurgling waters, and magnificent views included. After the climb, a rest at the Elbe Lodge was especially good: hearty Czech cuisine, just the thing to revive your legs. 🍽️

After arriving yesterday and enjoying Czech cuisine and beer, today was our first tour in the Giant Mountains. We set off from our hotel in Spindlermühle, always along the Elbe, up to the source. The path was initially on asphalt, but quickly changed to rocky paths and led us past bizarre rock formations and waterfalls. 😍 At higher altitudes we …

The best start for my holiday 'project'
Today we went to the Elbe spring in dry weather. I had previously chosen a circular route from the internet.
The way there was spectacular. Already yesterday on the way there I noticed how much water the Elbe has just a few kilometers after the start. Today it was even clearer. There are …
