A loop from the Smědava lodge via Předěl to the foot of the Smrk massif and the Paličník viewpoint.
This highly attractive, varied and scenic loop starts and ends at the legendary Smědava mountain lodge, one of the highest and best access points in the entire Jizera Mountains. The route first climbs gradually north below the slopes of Plochý vrch to the important mountain junction of Předěl. From there it sets off on a picturesque loop along forest roads right below the ridge of the highest parts of the range, with the monumental Smrk massif and the dramatic Paličník rock viewpoint rising close by. Skiing on perfectly groomed tracks through deep mountain forests, you circle Klínový and Plochý vrch and gradually return to your starting point along the Hraniční trail. The trip offers a moderately demanding profile with very pleasant, even climbs, breathtaking wild scenery and a great chance of well-earned refreshments at the start and finish. It is an excellent choice for skiers who want to experience the atmosphere of the highest parts of the Jizera Mountains without extremely demanding climbs.
