Trip around the Elbe Dam

From the centre of Špindlerův Mlýn to the dam there is a beautiful forest path along the green hiking trail.

From the centre of Špindlerův Mlýn, head about 100m in the direction of Svatý Petr and turn right over the bridge after the Information Centre. Follow the green trail towards the Elbe dam.

There is a possibility of swimming in the dam, but without any facilities. Due to the cold mountain water, only real hardy swimmers will enjoy swimming. In summer, however, it is really refreshing. Fishing is allowed here and after visiting it, you can also indulge in a bit of adrenaline while bridging it. 

It is easy to return to the centre of Špindlerův Mlýn on the other side of the bank via Bedřichov.

This trip is great in that you can spend time with your family, children or pets. It is not demanding and offers refreshment on hot summer days.
