I hope you'll make it over here at some point, as the country has quite a bit to offer. Fingers crossed! Though I would suggest to ...

Against the flow? Glen Striddle horseshoe – Beinn Dubh, Luss

It seems that I walked this one “against the flow” as most hikers seem to start with Beinn Dubh. This was partly because a friend, who claims to be completely out of shape and unable to climb any hills, joined me for the first third of the trip. And so, we started with the gentle walk through Glen L...

Re: E3: Czech Republic - Děčín to Harrachov

Re: E3: Czech Republic - Děčín to Harrachov

Great, I enjoyed reading that :clap: Perhaps the report should've been called "who ate all the pies?". You certainly got lucky with the 'trail magic' (free food, often left by other walkers) Now why didn't I think of such a cool title? :? And yes, I was quite lucky with meeting really goo...

Re: E3: Czech Republic - Děčín to Harrachov

:clap: :clap: Great report of an area unknown to most of us. Nicholas Crane walked the whole route " clear waters rising" with his famous umbrella Que Chova (what rain) :lol: . I got the impression that he didn't enjoy the second part as much as the first, but maybe it was just because he...

Sněžka, Czech Republic

A one day trip to the highest mountain in the Czech Republic and the border with Poland. In spring/summer 2019 I was preparing to walk the West Highland Way and climb Ben Nevis and so I planned to hike Sněžka (1603m) as part of my training. A friend/colleague was visiting Prague at the same time and...

Re: Český kras, Czech Republic

Cheers Lucie for your trip report. I found your walk really interesting, although it is just a bit too far away for me. Well I do not live in the UK but just on the other side of the border in Drážďany or Dresden. Therefore we often venture to the bohemian swiss/České Švýcarsko, the central bohemia...

Český kras, Czech Republic

September 2018 After returning to hiking during my vacation (after a several years long pause), I didn’t feel like stopping with the end of the summer. The early September was quite warm and sunny, almost as it was saying, “get out there…”. And so one weekend, as my dad was visiting his siblings, I ...
