About the trip

A great trip for families and technology lovers with a historic track, mountain scenery and an interesting museum.

Kořenov is an ideal destination for guests who like technical attractions and at the same time want to stay in a nice mountain environment. The main attraction is the famous cog railway and the possibility to combine the trip with a visit to the museum or a shorter walk in the surroundings.

The trip is suitable for families with children, train lovers and visitors looking for a different type of program than classic mountain hikes. The combination of a technical monument, a forest landscape and a leisurely pace is attractive.

Before the trip, we recommend checking the opening hours of the museum and the possible operation of historical trains. Comfortable shoes and a light jacket are all you need for a short walk around the area.
