The Most Beautiful Hiking Regions in the Czech Republic: Natural Paradises, Mountain Ranges, and Special Highlights
In addition to the Bohemian Forest National Park, there is a wide variety of other hiking regions that are truly impressive. For this reason, when traveling to the Czech Republic, you should not only visit its remarkable cities, but also take the time to experience its unique nature. Below, we provide an overview of some of the most interesting hiking areas.
Bohemian Switzerland (České Švýcarsko)
Bohemian Switzerland should not be confused with the Bohemian Forest, but it is just as fascinating. Bohemian Switzerland is a diverse hiking area located in the northwest of the country, on the border with Germany. Together with Saxon Switzerland, it forms an impressive sandstone massif. Since 2000, Bohemian Switzerland has not only been renowned for its unique natural phenomena, but has also been designated a national park. You can reach this wonderful hiking region in about one hour from Dresden or around two hours from Prague.
Natural Phenomena in Bohemian Switzerland
If you enjoy hiking and are planning a more extensive tour in Bohemian Switzerland, you should definitely not miss the highlights of this area. The region is characterized by sandstone rock formations in a wide variety of shapes—ranging from bizarre towers to massive rock walls. Be sure to visit the Tisá Walls (Tiské stěny). You should also explore the distinctive table mountains. Do not miss the highest mountain in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains: the Děčínský Sněžník (Hoher Schneeberg), at 723 meters.
A particularly outstanding highlight is the largest natural stone arch in Europe, Pravčická brána. This landmark of Bohemian Switzerland spans 26 meters. The various gorges and valleys are also well worth seeing—especially Edmund’s Gorge (Edmundova soutěska) and the Wild Gorge (Divoká soutěska). Both can also be explored in more detail on a guided boat ride. In addition, Bohemian Switzerland offers idyllic forests and rivers, and you can even discover small waterfalls here.
Hiking Trails
You can explore all of these highlights on a variety of routes. Bohemian Switzerland offers numerous hiking trails for an unforgettable outdoor adventure. You can choose between different route lengths and decide whether you prefer a day trip or a multi-day hike.
One beautiful route runs from Hřensko to scenic table mountains: the Kaiserkrone and Zirkelstein route. You start in Hřensko by taking the ferry to Schöna, or you can take the train from Děčín to Schöna. From there, follow the signposts to explore the village of Schöna. After about a 30-minute walk, continue toward Kaiserkrone and Zirkelstein. Including travel to and from the route, this excursion takes around three hours in total.
A longer option is the large circular hiking trail, the Hřensko route. It covers the following locations: Hřensko (start and finish), Janov, the Wild Gorge, and the Pravčická Gate. You start once again in Hřensko, a small town in the Elbe Valley that is often considered the gateway to Bohemian Switzerland. In addition to this trail, the area offers many other hiking routes. From there, head to Janov on foot or by bus—a village above Hřensko that rewards you with beautiful views of the Elbe Valley. This is where the main hike begins: first along quiet forest and field paths, and then into the rock formations of Bohemian Switzerland. Along this circular trail you will encounter major highlights, such as the Wild Gorge. On site, you can join a boat ride through narrow rock gorges and discover small waterfalls. The route also includes the Pravčická Gate (Pravčická brána), the region’s landmark, as well as viewing platforms offering breathtaking vistas of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. After this spectacular finale, you return to Hřensko by descending from the Pravčická Gate to Tři prameny and taking the bus from there. Overall, this day trip takes around seven hours, although the duration can vary if you choose to include the boat ride. Of course, you can also connect hikes in Bohemian Switzerland with Saxon Switzerland for multi-day adventures. Additional viewpoints to consider for planning include the panoramas near Jetřichovice and the Belvedér at Labská Stráň (the oldest viewpoint over the Elbe Valley).
Bohemian Paradise (Český ráj)
Bohemian Paradise is one of the best-known protected landscape areas in the Czech Republic. It was declared a protected landscape area as early as 1955 and is located in the northeast of the country. You can reach this hiking paradise in just one hour from Prague. This means you can easily combine a city trip to the capital with a day trip to Bohemian Paradise. The region is characterized by intriguingly shaped sandstone rocks and “rock cities”, where you can discover formations such as tall towers, narrow gorges, and rock needles.
What You Should See
Particularly popular rock areas include Prachovské skály (Prachov Rocks), Hruboskalsko, and Malá Skála. The Prachov Rocks (Prachovské skály) are especially well known and impress visitors with unique sandstone formations, narrow gorges, viewpoints, and rock spires. You can explore the Prachov Rocks on various loop trails, ranging from short walks to longer hikes. Routes leading to viewpoints such as Vyhlídka Českého ráje or Vyhlídka míru are particularly recommended.
The large Hruboskalsko sandstone massif consists of more than 400 rock towers reaching heights of up to 60 meters, making it especially popular with climbers. However, hikers will also enjoy numerous viewpoints. Discover the Trosky Castle ruins or Hrubá Skála Castle and enjoy wonderful panoramic views of this unique landscape. In the Jizera Valley lies Malá Skála. This part of Bohemian Paradise is known for striking rock formations such as Suché skály, which rise from the ground like a jagged wall often referred to as the “Dolomites of Bohemian Paradise.” Malá Skála is also an excellent destination for water sports enthusiasts, who can enjoy the scenery on a canoe trip.
Thanks to the combination of nature and culture, hikes in Bohemian Paradise are exceptionally varied—there is certainly no risk of boredom. You can also learn more about the country’s history by visiting the small historic towns near Bohemian Paradise, such as Jičín and Turnov.
Another special highlight of Bohemian Paradise is the Bozkov Dolomite Caves. Located on the edge of the region, they have been open to the public since 1969 and offer a truly enchanting underground world. The Bozkov Dolomite Caves were declared a national natural monument in 1999. The underground lakes are especially impressive and create a unique atmosphere. In summer, the caves provide a welcome cool-down, as temperatures inside remain relatively low. These caves are definitely a must-see on your trip.
Ore Mountains (Krušné hory)
The Ore Mountains stretch along the border between the Czech Republic and Germany. The name varies by country: in Germany, the range is called the Erzgebirge, while in the Czech Republic it is known as the Krušné hory. Overall, the range extends for about 150 km and is known for forested slopes, plateaus, raised bogs, and mountain meadows. A key highlight is its highest peak, Klínovec, at 1,244 meters.
However, the Ore Mountains are not only known for their peat bogs, but also for their history. The region is an old mining area, where silver, tin, and later uranium were mined from the Middle Ages onward. For this reason, the “Ore Mountain Mining Region (Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří)” has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2019. Interesting places where you can find traces of this era and learn more about mining history include Jáchymov (St. Joachimsthal), a historic mining town. You should also visit Krupka, another former mining town that now has a tin mining museum. The Renaissance town of Horní Blatná is also worth seeing. Even if history and culture are not your main interests, the Ore Mountains still have plenty to offer—especially their unforgettable natural scenery.
Božídarské Peat Bog
One of the largest raised bogs in Central Europe is located in the Ore Mountains. The Božídarské rašeliniště (Boží Dar peat bog) is one of the region’s most unique natural phenomena. You can explore the bog via the educational trail in Boží Dar, which leads through part of the protected area and is around 3 km long. The trail begins near the Erzgebirge Magistrale and uses wooden boardwalks to protect both nature and visitors.
In addition to the peat bog, you should explore the plateau around Boží Dar and Klínovec and enjoy wide meadows, forests, and spectacular viewpoints. Klínovec (Keilberg) is the highest mountain in the Ore Mountains at 1,244 meters. It is a popular destination in summer and also offers winter visitors an exciting experience. In addition to the panoramic view from the observation tower, the surrounding area provides excellent routes for hiking, cycling, and Nordic walking. In winter, the area transforms into an outstanding ski resort. You can reach Klínovec by car, via the red-marked hiking trail from Boží Dar, or by using the cable car near Jáchymov.
Beyond the peat bog and Klínovec, the natural landscape of the Ore Mountains offers much more. Be sure to visit the deep valleys and rivers, such as the Ohře (Eger) and Bystřice. The region’s flora and fauna are just as diverse as its landscapes. Keep an eye out for rare plants on hikes near the bog, and with a bit of luck you may spot black storks or red deer.
Hiking and Cycling Adventures
It is clear that the Ore Mountains can be explored wonderfully on foot or by mountain bike. A particularly popular option is the long-distance ridge trail, which stretches for 242 km and can become an unforgettable multi-day adventure. This long-distance route (Erzgebirgsmagistrale) can be completed both on foot and by bicycle. Please note that you should plan plenty of time for this trail, and multi-day hiking or cycling tours are best suited to experienced travelers. If you are less experienced, the route can be divided into stages, allowing you to enjoy shorter sections.
You can also explore the Ore Mountains perfectly during an ascent to Klínovec. These tours typically start in Jáchymov or Boží Dar and reward you with outstanding views across the range. In addition, Stoneman Erzgebirge is a popular mountain bike route for adventurous visitors, spanning both Germany and the Czech Republic. Beyond hiking and cycling, you can enjoy ski areas in winter. The best-known ski resorts include Klínovec, Boží Dar, and Loučná pod Klínovcem.
Giant Mountains (Krkonoše)
The Giant Mountains are known as the highest mountain range in the Czech Republic and welcome visitors with diverse nature and countless hiking trails in warmer months. If you visit in winter, the range is also one of the most popular destinations for winter sports enthusiasts. You can find more information about the Giant Mountains as a ski area in our guide. The Giant Mountains are located on the border between the Czech Republic and Poland, making them easy to reach from Prague (around 2 hours by car) or from Jelenia Góra on the Polish side (20–30 minutes by car). The Elbe River rises in the Giant Mountains and later winds through the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. Glaciers, raised bogs, mountain meadows, and dense spruce forests further enrich the region. Overall, the range stretches about 35 km in length and 20 km in width. The highest peak is Sněžka at 1,603 meters, which is also the highest mountain in the Czech Republic. You can reach Sněžka either on foot from Pec pod Sněžkou or by cable car.
The Czech part of the Giant Mountains has been protected as a national park since 1963 (Krkonošský národní park, or KRNAP). On the Polish side, the national park is known as Karkonoski Park Narodowy. Together, both parks form a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Here you can expect unique flora and fauna—discover alpine plant species and observe rare birds and even lynx.
Source of the Elbe
In addition to the flora and fauna, you should visit the source of the Elbe. This is a symbolic spring of the river, artistically designed and decorated with the coats of arms of European rivers. It is one of the most popular hiking destinations in the Giant Mountains and can be reached from Špindlerův Mlýn. Also worth seeing is the Elbe Valley (Labský důl), featuring a glacial cirque with breathtaking rock walls and waterfalls. Immerse yourself in the pristine nature of the Giant Mountains and take on a challenging hike for a truly unique adventure. Do not miss the Mumlava Waterfall (Mumlavský vodopád), one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the range, with a height of 10 meters. It is easy to access and therefore also suitable for families. If you would like to venture to the Polish side, you can discover the Śnieżne Kotły (Snowy Pits), two large glacial cirques with steep walls. From there, you can also enjoy exceptional views of the main ridge. And for those who enjoy legends: local folklore says the mountain spirit “Rübezahl” is the symbol of the Giant Mountains—an iconic figure you will encounter in many places throughout the region.
Jizera Mountains (Jizerské hory)
The Jizera Mountains are located in the northeast of the Czech Republic and border Poland. The range is named after the Jizera River (Iser) and can easily be reached from Czech cities such as Liberec or Jablonec nad Nisou. The highest mountain is Smrk (1,124 meters), which also lies near the Polish border. The Jizera Mountains are characterized by extensive plateaus, granite rocks, raised bogs, and deep valleys. Since 1968, the region has been protected and is known as the CHKO Jizerské hory (Jizera Mountains Protected Landscape Area). The range is famous for its unique peatland landscapes and rare plant and animal species such as the capercaillie and the black stork. You can explore the Jizera Mountains along various educational trails that lead through bogs and nature reserves.
The Jizera Mountains and their surroundings are also shaped by a rich culture and history. In Jablonec nad Nisou, the legacy of the glass industry is ever-present. There, you can visit glass museums and workshops that bring the region’s history to life and offer insight into local culture. In addition, the surrounding area features historic mountain villages with traditional architecture, allowing you to step back in time.
First, you should remember the highest mountain in the Jizera Mountains and make sure to visit it. From there, you can enjoy outstanding views across the landscape and explore modern observation towers. You should also visit Ořešník at around 800 meters, a distinctive rock formation near Hejnice, offering a spectacular panorama. Slightly higher is Tanvaldský Špičák (831 meters), where you can also enjoy a view from an observation tower. In winter, this area becomes a true skiing paradise. Another viewing tower (Královka Tower) is located in Bedřichov. In summer, the granite rocks (Frýdlantské cimbuří) are a well-known excursion destination especially popular with climbers, but also admired by hikers.
Of course, exploring the Jizerka Plateau should not be missed. This remote peatland landscape, dotted with small charming houses, creates an idyllic atmosphere and leads you through the countryside via wooden walkways and educational paths. The peat ponds and raised bogs are equally worth seeing, as they are characteristic of the Jizera Mountains and provide habitat for rare plants and birds truly a paradise for nature lovers.
In addition to its diverse flora and fauna and numerous viewpoints, the Jizera Mountains are also known for their waterfalls. Discover the refreshing waters and be captivated by their natural beauty. Be sure to visit the following waterfalls during your trip:
- Černá Desná Waterfalls (Černý potok)
- Jedlový důl Waterfalls
- White Jizera Waterfall (Bílá Desná)
Adventures in Nature
Make use of the many hiking and cycling trails for your outdoor adventure. The Jizera Mountains are especially known for their extensive network of trails. You will find numerous marked routes that guide you safely through nature and include scenic viewpoints as highlights. In addition to hiking, you can explore the landscape on climbing tours or enjoy mountain bike trails. The Jizera Mountains are also one of the country’s ski regions and are particularly famous for cross-country skiing, with trails totaling more than 180 km. For good reason, the well-known international cross-country race Jizerská 50 takes place here every year.
If you choose to visit the Jizera Mountains, you can be sure you will not be bored. Explore viewpoints and hike to impressive peaks. Keep a sharp eye out for birds such as the black stork or for rare plants. Immerse yourself in the magic of the Jizera Mountains and admire the granite blocks that shape the landscape. The Polední kameny (Midday Stones) are particularly worth seeing. Even if you travel to the Czech Republic in winter, the Jizera Mountains will welcome you with open arms.
Hrubý Jeseník (Altvater Mountains / Jeseníky)
The Hrubý Jeseník Mountains are located in the northeast of the Czech Republic, forming part of Moravian-Silesia and Northern Moravia. They also belong to the Sudetes. The range is known as the second-highest mountain range in the Czech Republic, directly after the Giant Mountains. Its highest peak is Praděd (Altvater) at 1,491 meters, making it the third-highest mountain in the Sudetes. The region is characterized by dense forests, glacial cirques, raised bogs, and waterfalls. You will encounter great diversity here. Since 1969, the Hrubý Jeseník has been protected, and the area around Praděd includes a strictly protected nature reserve with rare plants. You may also find black storks, capercaillies, and lynx here. In addition, the region is home to rare owl species.
The Hrubý Jeseník Mountains are also shaped by their past and are rich in myths and legends. A central figure is Praděd (Altvater), after whom the highest peak is named and who is described as a mystical giant or mountain spirit. The range also features historic spa towns that have existed since the late 18th century. As in the Ore Mountains, mining once took place here, with silver and iron ore extracted.
Praděd is not only the highest mountain in the region, but also its landmark. The television tower on the summit is striking and offers a unique panoramic view across the entire Jeseníky range extending as far as Poland and the Giant Mountains. Other noteworthy peaks include Keprník (1,423 meters), Šerák (1,351 meters), and Vysoká hole (1,464 meters). Šerák can be reached not only on foot but also by cable car.
In addition to its impressive mountains, the Hrubý Jeseník range is enriched by a large number of waterfalls. Discover Moravia’s highest waterfall at 45 meters (Vysoký vodopád), or follow a hiking trail past cascades, rapids, and bridges to the Bílá Opava Valley waterfall. Equally worth seeing is the Rejvíz peat bog, considered Moravia’s largest raised bog and connected to an educational trail. The spa resort of Karlova Studánka is also located in the region and is known for having some of the cleanest air in Central Europe.
In the Hrubý Jeseník Mountains, you can plan wonderful hiking tours, ranging from easy walks to challenging hikes. The area offers a dense network of marked trails that help ensure you stay on track. You can also explore the landscape by bike or mountain bike, using various trails across ridges and through valleys. In addition, the Hrubý Jeseník is one of the Czech Republic’s ski regions, offering several ski areas and cross-country skiing options. The main ski areas include Praděd/Ovčárna, Červenohorské sedlo, and Ramzová.
Adršpach–Teplice Rocks (Adersbach and Weckelsdorf Rock City)
The Adršpach–Teplice Rock City is one of the most popular destinations for nature enthusiasts in the Czech Republic and is an absolute highlight for hikers and climbers. It is located in northeastern Bohemia, near the town of Teplice nad Metují. Poland is also very close, so you can easily reach the rock city from the Polish side as well. The Adršpach–Teplice Rock City is part of the Broumovsko Protected Landscape Area (CHKO Broumovsko), which covers 430 square kilometers and impresses visitors with sandstone formations, table mountains, and gorges.
The rock city is among the largest sandstone “rock cities” in Europe and was shaped by erosion over thousands of years. In general, it can be said that the area is divided into two main sections: Adršpach and Teplice. Many rock formations have their own names that reflect their role in this unique landscape such as “Lovers” or “Giant Jug.” Particularly fascinating are the narrow rock crevices and imposing rock walls, which can reach heights of up to 100 meters. Be sure not to miss the small caves, either.
Hiking and Climbing Experiences
In the Broumovsko protected area, you can enjoy not only excellent hiking excursions, but also climbing adventures. The region offers countless hiking routes as well as more than 1,700 climbing routes, promising a varied experience. Popular loop trails include the Adršpach circuit, which is 3.5 km long and leads you to remarkable rock formations and an idyllic lake. The Teplice circuit is also very popular; it is around 6 km long and is often less crowded.
Moravian Karst (Moravský kras)
The Moravian Karst hiking region is known for the breathtaking Macocha Gorge and the country’s unique cave systems. Discover fascinating flora and fauna and embark on a new hiking adventure. The Moravian Karst is located north of Brno, making it easy to combine a city trip with an excursion into this hiking region. The city of Brno is well worth a visit and impresses with its diverse architecture. At the same time, this hiking region in South Moravia provides a wonderful balance to the bustle of the city and can enrich your holiday. The Moravian Karst covers an area of 92 square kilometers and is therefore considered the most important karst region in the country. Since 1956, it has been designated a protected landscape area.
The typical karst formations in particular make this region a popular destination. Discover diverse caves, unique sinkholes, idyllic valleys, interesting swallow holes, breathtaking gorges, and underground rivers. The area is home to more than 1,000 known caves, which are among the main highlights of the region. Explore the Punkva Caves, the Kateřinská Cave, and the Sloup–Šošůvka Caves.
The Punkva Caves are especially impressive due to their variety. Discover underground rivers and explore the caves from a different perspective during a boat ride. Join a guided tour and experience this unique place. The Kateřinská Cave is better known as a cave labyrinth and enchants visitors with spectacular colorful dripstone formations, making it one of the most beautiful underground spaces in the Czech Republic. Enjoy your walk through this unforgettable area and let the atmosphere inspire you. If you would like to learn more, you can also join guided tours. The Sloup–Šošůvka Caves form an extensive complex of passages and steep chasms across two levels. Here you can gain deep insights into the underground world and admire more stunning dripstone formations. This complex also includes the remarkable Kůlna Cave, where Neanderthal remains have been discovered. The cave was inhabited very early on, as prehistoric settlement has been documented. Embrace this adventure and explore the various caves of the Moravian Karst.
In addition to these three caves, the Rudice sinkhole (Rudice-Doline) is one of the region’s highlights. Together with the Býčí skála cave system (Bull Rock), it forms the second-longest cave system in the Czech Republic, with a total length of more than 13 km. The Jedovnický stream disappears underground here and, after a 12 km course, emerges again at Bull Rock in Josefov. The water falls to depths of up to 90 meters, creating one of the country’s highest underground waterfalls. As a result, the Rudice sinkhole is considered the largest sinkhole (deepest dry abyss in the Czech Republic) in the Moravian Karst.
Equally unique is the impressive Macocha Gorge, which opens up a view into a depth of around 138 meters. It is considered the largest gorge of its kind in the Czech Republic and in Central Europe as a whole. According to legend, its depth was once thought to be bottomless although you will, in fact, be able to see the bottom when you visit. Surrounded by greenery, the gorge has an almost mystical atmosphere and feels like entering another world. For this reason, it is considered a unique natural phenomenon that you should visit. Take in the dramatic depth from two viewing platforms and follow the scenic hiking trail to the Punkva Caves.
Hiking and Mountain Bike Adventures
You can explore the Moravian Karst via a wide selection of hiking and cycling routes. Along the way, discover additional castle ruins, viewing towers, and churches in South Moravia. Choose family-friendly routes for an enjoyable hiking experience, or take on more challenging trails to experience the region’s nature more deeply. Circular hikes through the Punkva Valley are particularly popular. Along this route, you can visit caves and enjoy unforgettable views of the Macocha Gorge. If hiking is not your preference, you can also explore the region by mountain bike or enjoy a climbing adventure.
Please note that the region can be busier in summer than during other times of the year. For this reason, it is advisable to buy tickets in advance or make reservations for the key sights along your route. It would be a shame if the Punkva Caves were already fully booked and you could no longer visit them after a longer hike.
Beskids (Beskydy)
The Beskids are an extensive mid-mountain range that stretches along the borders between the Czech Republic, Poland, and Slovakia. They are part of the Carpathians and include the highest peak of the Beskids on the Czech side, Lysá hora (1,323 meters). The best-known parts of the Beskids are located in Northern Moravia and Silesia. The range is characterized by forested ridges, wide valleys, and numerous viewpoints. Parts of the Beskids are also included in the Beskydy Protected Landscape Area. The region is known for its diverse flora and fauna. Nature lovers can explore the Beskids independently and get to know the dense forests up close. With a bit of luck, you may spot lynx and wolves among the spruce and fir trees and enjoy the region’s idyllic atmosphere.
You can explore the landscape in various ways, but one thing is certain: you will be impressed by its diversity. The Beskids offer a wonderful blend of culture, tradition, and unforgettable natural scenery. Above all, the mountains themselves are among the range’s greatest attractions. Set out on a hike to the highest mountain in the Beskids (Lysá hora), where you will be rewarded with far-reaching views. A trip to Lysá hora is especially worthwhile early in the morning or at sunset. You should also visit Radhošť, which is named after the pagan deity Radegast. On the summit you will find a statue of Radegast and a small chapel. If you already know these two mountains, do not miss Pustevny. This mountain saddle takes visitors on a journey into the past. Discover the traditional Art Nouveau wooden buildings designed by architect Dušan Jurkovič an excellent way to experience folk architecture and immerse yourself in local traditions.
Experiences in Summer and Winter
The Beskids are not only known for their countless hiking routes and cycling paths, but are also a popular destination for winter sports enthusiasts. In the hills you can ski or snowboard, with well-known ski resorts such as Bílá, Velké Karlovice, and Pustevny. The Beskids are also a place for relaxation, with various wellness offers nearby, including thermal baths in Rožnov. In addition, there are other places worth visiting in the immediate vicinity. These include the picturesque town of Štramberk, where you can explore the “Štramberská Trúba” castle tower ruins and try traditional foods. You can also visit the Wallachian Open-Air Museum nearby to learn about traditional Czech life.
White Carpathians (Bílé Karpaty)
The White Carpathians are located in the southeast of the Czech Republic and border Slovakia. As the name suggests, they are part of the Carpathians and are among the most beautiful hiking regions in the Czech Republic. The highest mountain in the White Carpathians reaches 970 meters and offers exceptional views. Be sure not to miss Velká Javořina. The White Carpathians have been protected since 1980, and in 1996 they were recognized by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve. The region is characterized by species-rich flower meadows, traditional orchard meadows, and gentle hills, forests, and pastures. This creates an impressive, harmonious idyll that invites you to relax. Enjoy gentle hikes and take in the calming nature along the way.
What You Should Not Miss
If you decide to take an excursion to the White Carpathians, you should definitely explore the flower and orchid meadows. Let your gaze wander across a sea of colors and enjoy the springtime air in May and June, when the meadows are at their most beautiful. It is no coincidence that the orchid meadows here are considered among the most species-rich meadows in Central Europe. In addition to the meadows, you should also visit the traditional villages, where you can discover painted houses and get closer to local traditions.
If you enjoy wine, you may be interested in the wine region at the foot of the White Carpathians, where the South Moravian wine-growing area begins. It is a wonderful place to round off your hiking adventure. Many long-standing traditions are still culturally preserved in the White Carpathians, and numerous folk festivals continue to take place. A cultural highlight is the King’s Ride of Vlčnov (Jízda králů), a famous folklore festival that is part of UNESCO’s intangible cultural heritage.
Another highlight is the Velký Lopeník observation tower, located at 911 meters and offering wonderful views. It is well worth incorporating into a hike. Of course, you can explore the White Carpathians not only on foot but also by bike. In winter, parts of the Carpathians also become small ski slopes—meaning you can explore the White Carpathians all year round.
