Experience an unforgettable ridge hike in the heart of the Krkonoše Mountains, which will take you from the historic Špindlerův Bouda to the top of the highest mountain in the Czech Republic, Sněžka. This route, measuring approximately 9.5 km, will bring you not only a physical challenge, but also unique views of the surrounding natural wealth and a deep sense of satisfaction from conquering the peak.

Start - Špindlerův Mlýn

Use the bus connection to Špindlerův Mlýn - Špindlerův Bouda ridge, where your adventure begins.

Špindlerova Buda (1,198 m above sea level)

Along the old trade route, in the Silesian saddle below Malý Šišák, in 1824, Špindler's rychter Franz Špindler from Bedřichov had a shed built, which became the last refuge on the Czech side of the mountains for budars traveling with products to Silesia. After two fires, it was built entirely of stone in 1855. At the beginning of the 20th century, the attraction of the shed was increased by the construction of a road, which was completed in 1914. Today, Špindler's shed is a symbol of change. From its humble beginnings as a mountain hut to its role as a wartime internment camp to today's luxurious mountain hotel, it has weathered the storms of history with nobility.

The path of Czech-Polish friendship

Continue along the historic and symbolic path that connects Czech and Polish friends through the Krkonoše ridges.

Parasol (1,423 m above sea level)

Enjoy a short stop and enjoy the views of Poland that this place has to offer.

Silesian Hut (1,395 m above sea level)

The next stage will take you to Slezská Bouda, an ideal place for a short rest and refreshments.

Sněžka (1,603 m above sea level)

The final ascent to Sněžka is the crowning glory of your hike. At the top, you will see a breathtaking panorama of the Krkonoše Mountains and the surrounding area.

Notice

Due to the changeable weather in the Giant Mountains, we recommend checking the current weather conditions before the expedition.

This ridge hike is a unique opportunity to explore the beauty of the Krkonoše Mountains and experience an unforgettable adventure firsthand. With proper planning and preparation, it can become the highlight of your visit to Špindlerův Mlýn and the surrounding nature.
