The trip starts in the center of Špindlerův Mlýn near the White Bridge, from where you follow the red tourist sign past the Villa Hubertus hotel in the direction of Horní Mísečky. When you arrive at Horní Mísečky, you cross the meadow to Jilemnická bouda.

From Jilemnická Bouda, continue along Masarykova road for about 300 m, turn left onto the green tourist path (Krakonošova cesta). The forest path will take you through Kotelní jámy, where you will lose your breath and feel like you are in a botanical garden. The winding ascent gradually reveals the secret and beauty of one of the most interesting geological formations in the Krkonoše Mountains.

From the bottom of Kotelní jámy, you climb up to the Dvoračky mountain hut and continue following the red tourist sign to Kotelské sedlo. The ascent is nutritious, but the reward in the form of panoramic views of the region and the Kotelní jámy themselves is definitely worth the effort. This part of the route is the most demanding climb within the entire circuit.

At the top of the Kotel, you will walk past a mystical place called Růženčina záhrádka up to the Harrachovy kameny stones, from where you can admire the panoramic views of the surrounding ridges and the depth of the Kotelní jámy.

From the Harrachovy kameny (stones), continue along the path to the mound of Hanč and Vrbata and then to Vrbatova bouda (hut). The mounds of Hanče and Vrbata are definitely worth a stop and a view of the region, the Sněžka mountain is right in the palm of your hand.
