Description of route

1. Default point: Horská Kvilda

The route starts in the mountain Kvilda, one of the most beautiful Šumava villages. From there you will start with a modified track to the hill. The route will lead you through an open landscape where you can look forward to the views of the valley of Hamer creek.

2. The section over the Vysočina to the Cinderella Mountain

After reaching Zhorí, a former Šumava settlement with a rich history, you continue to climb in the direction below the Cinderella Mountain. This part of the route offers a quiet and deeply snowy landscape, ideal for relaxation from the excitement.
