Lookout towers, caves, waterfalls and the ridges of the Giant and Jizera Mountains – within an hour’s drive of the apartments.
The Huťský waterfall drops 20 metres and is an easy walk from the house. On the Polish side, 25 km away, you'll find the 27-metre Kamieńczyk waterfall in Szklarska Poręba. Guests also like to combine a trip to Harrachov with the Mumlava waterfall.
All the lookout towers around are worth a visit. The closest are the viewpoints on Stráž right above Rokytnice – you can walk there too.
You can reach the Krkonoše ridges from us by cable car right from the Horní Domky ski area.
Trips to the Polish side of the mountains – to the glacial lakes below Sněžka and to Śnieżne Stawki.
This stone lookout tower on Hvězda hill near Příchovice is one of the oldest in the Jizera and Giant Mountains – it opened to the public in August 1892. It is 24 metres tall with 81 steps to the top. From the gallery you can see the Jizera Mountains, the Giant Mountains to the east and, on a clear day, as far south as Bezděz and Ralsko.
The highest waterfall in the Polish Sudetes: the water drops 27 metres in three cascades into a narrow rocky gorge with walls over 30 metres high. You walk to the foot of the falls along steel walkways through the gorge – entry is paid and a safety helmet comes with the ticket. Scenes from The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian were filmed here.
The highest settlement in the Jizera Mountains (862 m above sea level) has been a protected village heritage reserve since 1995 – timber cottages and old glassmakers’ houses scattered across a mountain meadow below the basalt hill Bukovec. Right next to it is the Rašeliniště Jizerky national nature reserve (a peat bog). The former school houses the Jizera Mountains Museum, the hamlet also has the Pyramida, a former glass-grinding works, and the traveller Gustav Ginzel lived here. Jizerka is one of the coldest places in the Czech Republic.
A sandstone rock town in Bohemian Paradise above Malá Skála: narrow passages, rocky viewpoints and views of the Jizera valley. Suitable for families with children too.
A romantic path through the Jizera river canyon between Semily and Spálov – rocks, rapids and footbridges right above the water. Loveliest in spring and autumn.
A park with dozens of life-size moving dinosaurs, a playground and a cinema. A full day of fun for families with children just across the Polish border.
A museum in an Augustinian monastery: exhibitions on the nature and history of the mountains, with interactive elements for children. A good plan for a rainy day.
Sports hall – large hall, small gym, fitness room, sauna, outdoor tennis courts and a pump track for kids, plus the Jakokavárna café with a children's corner. Multi-purpose Pěvín playing field with a self-service system. Mountain bike and e-bike hire, a bobsleigh track, a rope park (600 m), a bowling alley and massages. In the evening, pubs and restaurants.
