Giant Mountains

<p>The Giant Mountains and the Jizera Mountains, shrouded in legend and enchantingly wild, entice visitors with their lengthy forests, rushing mountain streams and breathtaking views. Together they form the highest mountain range in the Sudetes, crowned by the majestic Schneekoppe. In the ridges of the national park, walkers will find a tundra landscape that is unique in Central Europe. Picturesque rock formations adorn mountain ridges overgrown with mountain pines. The Rother hiking guide 'Krkonoše - Jizera Mountains' presents the 50 most beautiful hikes in the mountains of the Czech Republic and Poland. Wonderful hiking trails lead through the mountain landscapes with their blooming mountain meadows. The typical Krkonoše houses, built in traditional wooden style, blend romantically into the beautiful mountain landscape. Numerous chalets offer delicious cuisine and overnight accommodation for individual multi-day tours. The sandstone labyrinths in the Giant Mountains also offer special hiking experiences. For lovers of bizarrely shaped rocks, the hikes in the Bohemian Paradise and in the Adersbach-Weckelsdorf rock town are particularly recommended. From easy paths to steep mountain trails, there is something for everyone in this hiking guide. Reliable route descriptions, map sections with marked routes and informative elevation profiles as well as GPS tracks to download make it easy to find your way when walking. Tips on places to stop for refreshments, places of interest and interesting natural phenomena along the way round off the hiking guide. The two authors Franziska R&ouml;&szlig;ner and Kaj Kinzel love the Bohemian mountains and know their way around them inside out. They have already written several hiking guides for the Elbe Sandstone Mountains and dog hiking books for the Ore Mountains and South Tyrol for Rother Bergverlag.</p>
