Medium difficult MTB-trail in the western part of Krkonose Mts. On this trail, between well-known towns Harrachov and Jilemnice, are many beautiful look-out points to western Krkonose Mts. This trail has one long ascent and one short technically difficult discent from chalet Dvoracky (15% iclination) on soft ground.

Description:
Starting point is in Harrachov, the center of ski jumping in Krkonose Mts. From the center there is a trail to the western direction and further on on the main road to Jilemnice. From here there is a trail No.4 with a difficult ascent to Certova hora. From Certova Mtn. and from the path leading to chalet Dvoracky is a great panoramatic view over the western part of Krkonose. From chalet Dvoracky it is a long down hill ride to Jilemnice. The first 500m are technicaly difficult. Strong decline on a soft surface with deep slots is very demanding for the biker and the bike. The one who manages this difficult part continues easily to Rezek and further to Jilemnice.

Options:
Easier option is to use the cableway from Harrachov to Certova hora. You will save 300 high meters. The total distance is 6.1 km shorter and is manageble for everybody.
