About the trip

A popular family trip in Janské Lázně with an observation tower, educational trail and beautiful views of the Giant Mountains.

The treetop trail in Janské Lázně is one of the most rewarding trips for families with children in the Giant Mountains. The wooden path will take you through the forest from the roots to the crowns of the trees and offer a different view of the Krkonoše nature.

The main attraction is the lookout tower, which in good weather offers views of the surrounding forests, Janské Lázně and the Krkonoše ridges. Along the way you will find educational stops, points of interest about the forest and elements that will entertain both children and adults.

The trip is also suitable for less fit visitors, as the route is comfortable and easily accessible. This makes the Treetop Trail the ideal choice for a day when you want to experience the Krkonoše Mountains without a demanding mountain hike.

What awaits you

Views of the Giant Mountains

From the lookout tower you can see the surrounding forests, Janská Lázně and, if the visibility is good, the Krkonoše ridges.

Comfortable trail

The route is easy, easily accessible and suitable even for visitors who do not want to go on a long mountain hike.

Entertainment for children

Children will be delighted by the educational elements, the high-altitude experience, the forest atmosphere and the opportunity to observe nature from a non-traditional perspective.

Great for photographers

The wooden path, the lookout tower and the Krkonoše forests offer nice shots in every season.
