Discover the Giant Mountains: The Jewel of Czech Nature
Natural beauty, adventure and cultural heritage - these are the Giant Mountains
Discover the perfect harmony of nature, history and culture
Welcome to the Giant Mountains, a unique mosaic of mountain ecosystems where unspoiled nature meets rich history and culture. Mountain forests and meadows populated the rough slopes, the mountain parts of the flat ridges are covered with knee pine, alpine lawns and peat communities. Lower slopes, on the other hand, are interesting for their diversity, the mutual influence of nature and human management. The peculiar charm of the Krkonoše Mountains, which visitors have admired here for centuries, has been protected by the Krkonoše National Park (KRNAP) since 1963, a small gem with a big heart. The local mountains are not only a natural wall between the Czech Republic, Germany and Poland, but also home to a wide range of activities and adventures for all age groups. Join us on a journey to discover hidden treasures, from the legendary Sněžka to the picturesque Elbe waterfall.
