Trail: Harrachov – Dvoračky that leads then northernly from Kotel -  a continue through the attractive part along the edge of Labský důl (above the ridge) - then via the Mumlavské valley back to Harrachov. A nice round trek for an intermediate hikers.

Trips to Jizerske Mountains

The location of Harrachov on the western border of the Giant Mountains offers setting out for trips to adjacent Jizerske Mountains. We offer you trek leading alogn the valley of Jizera creek via Bukovec, Jizerka village and Kořenov back to Harrachov. It is relatively long round trip. Expect long day trip however vertical distance is mild. You can make interesting alternative by taking a train from Kořenov to Harrachov Mýtiny.

Mountain biking

Harrachov is a good place for mountain biking too. It is necessary to say that mountain profile in the Giant Mountains is more suitable for well trained bikers and family trips (when daddy is carrying a baby carrier and mummy a kid on a bar) is better to orientate to the Jizerske Mountains due to its mild profile. In our tips we depicted in a couple points a trip to Vosecka chalet which has been recently opened to bikers again. This trip is quite demanding therefore we recommend to take a opposite direction to Jizerske Mountains.
