About the trip

Cable cars, mountain views and leisurely walks in one of the most famous Krkonoše resorts.

Špindlerův Mlýn is one of the most famous mountain resorts in the Giant Mountains and is a great starting point for shorter walks and longer mountain hikes. The areas of Svatý Petr and Medvědín offer beautiful views, cable cars and many ways to enjoy a day in the mountains.

You can take the trip leisurely – take the cable car, walk along the ridges and have refreshments – or more sporty as a full-day hike towards the source of the Elbe, the Elbe bouda or the surrounding ridges.

Špindlerův Mlýn is suitable for families with children, couples and more active tourists. In the summer it attracts hiking and views, in the winter skiing and mountain atmosphere.

Practical tips

Parking

In Špindlerův Mlýn, parking lots are busy on weekends and holidays. It is worth leaving in the morning.

Snacks

You can find refreshment options in the city, at the cable cars and at selected mountain huts.

The best time

The morning or later afternoon tends to be calmer and the light is more pleasant for photography.

Appropriate footwear

For short walks, comfortable shoes are enough, for longer routes we recommend stronger hiking boots.

Lanovky

Before your trip, check the current operation of the cable cars, especially outside the high season or in bad weather.
