Trips for the wheel-chaired

Dear visitors of the Jizera Mountains (no matter how mobile you are),

Trying to help our handicapped fellow-citizens, we have chosen several interesting routes in the Jizera Mountains. While preparing them we tried hard to make the mountains available for as large number of tourists as possible including those for whom movement is complicated. And it is not only a wheelchair that makes it complicated but also a pram and so called "rickshaw". That's why the routes are designed to be accessible for wheelchairs (mechanical or electrical, with an assistant or without), for parents with young children on bikes or in prams and also for the wheel chaired - hand bikers.

There are currently 9 basic routes marked, three of them have "sub-routes" (number 1 , 6 and 8) and there are two "alternative" routes (number 5 and 9). They do not form integral circuits, it will be your choice which combinations of designed routes you decide to take. For better clarity we attached a small map. Some of them even have names according to their location (like "Spojovací", "Trojkombinace", "Hraničná").

The routes are designed to allow you to see as much scenery - the Ještědský Ridge, the Jizera Mountains, the Krkonoše (Giant) Mountains, Žitava lowland, the Frýdlant hook, etc.- as possible. In the years to come there will be much less to see from today's view points as the growing trees will slowly start to obstruct the view. We cannot suppose that some forest clearing can take place to allow for the view again, so take advantage of today's natural viewpoints.

The level of difficulty of a particular route or its parts is marked by its colour (blue- the easiest, green - medium difficult, red - difficult). In the terrain the routes are marked in corresponding colour by arrows with the pictogram of a wheelchair and the number of the route or by signs with the pictogram of a wheelchair. All of them are easily passable (however, what is not so good is the condition of the panel way on route No.5 red difficulty). It is necessary to judge not only the length of the trip but the weather conditions as well, which can change in a couple of hours in the mountains.

Warning! Routes No.1a, part of No.4 (from Kristianov to the dam in Josefův Důl), No.8, No.8a, No.6a and No.5 (red difficulty) are not suitable for handbikes. The panels are in a bad condition on some of them or there are some small drainage canals and trenches across the road. If this may cause problems, or if you are not very physically fit, follow the suggested direction on the route.

We wish you a nice stay and travels in the Jizera Mountains
