The Ore Mountains: Snow tubing and fun in the water
The Ore Mountains form a continuous, 130km long and 40km wide mountain belt. In addition to downhill or cross-country skiing, the
Klínovec Sport Centre offers a great deal of adrenaline.
Snow tubing is very adventurous. You will feel a great adrenaline rush when you sit into a large, inflatable tube and go down the snow toboggan. If you prefer snowboarding to skiing, then you will love
snow kiting – a combination of snowboarding and flying a special kite. All you have to do is get the kite flying and let yourself be pulled along the local, snowy plains. Around
Boží Dar , you can enjoy
snowshoe trips. If you are looking to relax more, visit the famous water parks. What about a recreational
swimming pool with thermal water at the
Teplice Aqua Centre or the Most Aquadrome?
Šumava: Bobsleigh track and a trip along a tree trail
The extensive
Šumava Mountains are located in the
southern part of the Czech Republic. Even in the winter, it is worth visiting the
Lipno Tree Trail, which you can visit just by getting off the chairlift. The trail ends with a
40 metre high lookout tower, which is unique because of its appearance and view of the countryside. There are
two bobsleigh tracks in
Lipno. In terms of its length (1 kilometre) and diversity (21 curves, 2 tunnels and breaks in terrain) the older bobsleigh track ranks among the best in the world. The newer mountain track is unique and can only be found in the Czech Republic. The unique experience offers two nearly 360 degree curves. The possibility to switch from ski boots to skates and enjoy the
unique, natural skating rink on the Lipno Dam is also very pleasant. The 11 kilometre frozen surface track is well maintained for skating enthusiasts. Under favourable conditions, the track is extended to a record-breaking 38 kilometres! Lipno Aqua World or the Frymburk Aqua Park offer
water fun and entertainment.
Giant Mountains: Night snow tubing and 150 year old trees
The
Giant Mountains are among the most popular mountainous locations in the Czech Republic. Resorts like
Pec pod Sněžkou,
Špindlerův Mlýn or
Harrachov attract tens of thousands of ski enthusiasts annually but they also offer entertainment for people who do not ski. You can try
snow tubing, which is very popular and in Špindlerův Mlýn you can even try
night snow tubing on a lit-up track. Motor and speed enthusiasts can take a snowmobile ride along the designated and permitted areas of
Herlíkovice with an experienced driver. You can go down
bobsleigh tracks in Špindlerův Mlýn and Harrachov. Experience true adrenaline in Harrachov with
winter bungee jumping. Vysoké nad Jizerou is one of the best places in the Giant Mountains to enjoy
snow kiting.
The Giant Mountains Tree Trail in the heart of the majestic forests of the Giant Mountains National Park takes you through forests that are over 150 years old. If you want to test your brain cells, then visit the IQ park in
Liberec, where adults and children can enjoy
intelligent entertainment. Jeseníky: Hydro-electric power station and a snowshoe hike
This
mountain range is located in
northern Moravia. Near
Kralický Sněžník, you can try the winter version of traditional mountain biking!
Taking a ride on a snow bike promises to be an unusual experience, which can take you to places where traditional mountain bikes cannot. If you are not interested in biking, you may want to try
walking in snowshoes around
Ramzová. During the winter months, you can also visit the
Dlouhé stráně hydro-electric power station. It is the third largest pumping hydro-electric power station in the world and the most extensive hydro-electric power station in the Czech Republic. You can also visit the underground power station in the winter. Then, you can warm up at the
Velké Losiny thermal spa.
