About the trip

Popular Krkonoše trip with cable car to Černá hora, views, mountain routes and the option of a more comfortable option for families.

Janské Lázně and Černá hora are among the most famous excursion destinations in the Giant Mountains. A big advantage is the cable car, thanks to which even less fit visitors can comfortably reach the higher parts of the mountains.

At the top of Černá hora, you can choose a shorter walk with views, a longer mountain route or a visit to the lookout tower or the surrounding trails, depending on the current conditions. The trip is suitable for families with children, couples and tourists who want to combine the comfort of a cable car with a mountain atmosphere.

If the weather is good, it is worth leaving earlier, as Janské Lázně and Černá hora are popular places. Expect faster weather changes in the mountains and take a warmer layer with you.
