OVERVIEW

Krkonoše is a mountain region in northern Czechia, with forested valleys, exposed ridges and long established resort towns. Trails, ski areas and historic mountain huts provide access throughout the year. Villages and mountain terrain belong to the same connected landscape, although they often feel distinct on arrival. Across the wider area, mountain terrain remains closely connected with villages, rather than forming an isolated visitor zone.

Weather changes quickly on the higher ground, while lower valleys remain gentler and more sheltered. Combining ridge walks with spa towns and village roads creates a fuller experience than focusing only on summits. The range is compact enough to combine several valleys without constant long transfers. Villages is encountered differently from mountain terrain, making it worthwhile to leave time for both parts of the destination.
