Travel Guide Parc National De Krkonoše

The massif is located 70% in Czech territory and 30% in Polish territory (where the massif is steeper). Kokonoše, the Czech side, became a national park in 1963. The Poles had done so four years earlier.The large glacier that formerly covered this region has now withdrawn. He left a landscape of deep valleys, rounded peaks, steep slopes, which delight hikers around the world. The name of the massif means "Giant Mountains"… but attention is not the Himalayas! Mount Sněžka, which dominates the natural park, reaches 1 602 m. The points of Interest are superb and varied: astonishing granite formation, the Elbe springs, wild forests, bogs, medieval gold mines, spas, best alpine ski trails in the country, signposted hiking paths for cyclists, walkers. In the tourist information centres, the resorts, you will find all the info for practicing ATV, walking, paragliding, horse riding, rafting, basketball and many others… So précipitez here! But know that you will not be alone…
