About the trip

This superb fourteen-kilometre loop starts in Horní Polubný at the Nad Sokolovnou junction and takes you through the magnificent, expansive landscapes of the eastern Jizera Mountains around the entire Zámky massif. The route first climbs gradually past the romantic Václavíkova studánka spring along the Knížecí trail to the saddle below Zámky. From there it continues along the Jezdecká trail and joins the famous, wide Promenádní trail at the iconic Bunkr stop. A pleasant descent follows to the fairytale mountain settlement of Jizerka at Mořina, from where a well-groomed track brings you via Václavíkova studánka back to Polubný. The trip offers a perfect combination of wide tracks on the magistrála, magnificent ridge views of the Jizera valley and the Krkonoše ridges, and the unique atmosphere of the heritage-protected Jizerka settlement with plenty of places for a well-earned meal. It is an excellent route for all skiers looking for a sporting experience combined with the finest panoramas in the mountains.
