About the trip

A pleasant trip to the Krkonoše Gate with a museum, a castle park, a historical center and a program even in bad weather.

Vrchlabí is often referred to as the gateway to the Krkonoše Mountains and is easily accessible by car from the cottage. It offers a combination of culture, history, walks and a pleasant urban environment.

The main destination may be the Krkonoše Museum, where you can learn more about nature, history and life in the Krkonoše. The trip can be complemented by a walk through the castle park, the historical center or sitting in one of the cafes.

Vrchlabí is a good choice for days when you don’t want to go on a long mountain hike or when the weather is not ideal. Thanks to the shorter driving distance, it is also suitable as an afternoon program.
