Surroundings

A hiking trail leads past the guesthouse towards Kvilda.

(follow the yellow path, approx. 7 km, a leisurely path through the forest), from where you can set off on a circuit around Jezerní slaťa.

We also recommend visiting the beautiful peat bog lake Chalupská slať ( green trail, approx. 4.5 km) and Borová Lada .

In winter, you will find several dozen kilometers of cross-country trails near the guesthouse, so don't hesitate to go to Knížecí pláně, Zadov , or the aforementioned Chalupská slať. The Nové Hutě ski area is also nearby.
