3. TIP - with pram MORAVSKÁ BOUDA
Moravská bouda - Sedmidolí - Davidovky Girls' footbridges = a beautiful mountain trip.
Let yourself be taken by car to Erlebachova bouda / Resort Sv. František, or use GoTaxi. Follow the asphalt road (blue tourist signs) in the direction of Petrova bouda - Moravská bouda (excellent cuisine and playground).
Here you have a choice: either you return to Špindl the same way or take our advice and drive from Moravská bouda downhill in the direction of Davidova bouda and further to Špindl. If you go down this route to Špindl, count on the fact that not far below Moravská bouda you will carry a pram on a section of about 90 m. Don't be afraid of it, because a pleasant walk down the hill along the asphalt / forest road to the bottom to Špindl awaits you in a total length of 8.3 km lasting about 3-4 hours.
More information on this trip is described in detail HERE.
Our recommendation: at the crossroads Pod Petrovkou, follow the green tourist signs for about 1 km along the KRNAP nature trail - see this trip. Although you can take the pram to a few places (see photo here), the reward will be an educational trail with carved wooden animals for your children.
Total length and duration: 8.3 km / 3 - 4 h (Erlebachova bda - Moravská bda - Dívčí lávky - center)
Elevation gain: ascent ↑ 86 m, descent ↓ 514 m

4. TIP - with a pram to the SPRING OF THE LABE
yes, you can also take this trip with a pram! You will take the cable car to Medvědín, where they will take your pram up for free (price list and operating hours of the Medvědín cable car here). Follow the asphalt road in the direction of Horní Mísečky - Jilemnická bda. From Jilemnická bouda there is a bus to Zlaté vrchší - timetable here. From Vrbatova bouda you continue along the blue markings - asphalt road (not along the red one) in the direction of Labská bouda. You pass the U Čtyř pánů signpost. From the U Čtyř pánů signpost, continue straight on to the Elbe Spring - see the photo gallery below.
Alternative: If necessary, you can take the blue road to the Elbe hut and from the Elbe hut continue to the source of the Elbe.
Duration and time of the route: Horní nádraží Medvědína → bus stop Jilemnická bouda - Horní Mísečky = 1.8 km / 30 minutes - route map here. Vrbatova bouda → U Čtyř pánů → Spring Elbe = 3.1 km / 1h - route map here. To these times, add the cable car, bus and possible waiting with regard to timetables = about 1 hour.
ATTENTION - with regard to trip alternatives, all times and distances are given only for the journey to the source of the Elbe! Calculate the way back to these times!
On the way back, do not take a bus, but walk from Vrbatova bouda to Medvědín - map here. If you used the bus, you would have to get off from Mísečky back to Medvědín. Challenging and unnecessary.
Expect the trip to take you all day. By this we mean a relaxing trip. It also depends a lot on which alternative trip you choose.
A detailed description of the walking route to the Elbe Spring can be found here. However, the description refers to a walking tour, not a trip with a pram.
Therefore, follow the above instructions and tips for a trip with a stroller.
Our recommendation:
From Medvědín you can go directly to Vrbatova bouda along Masaryk Road, where only a bus runs, but you have to overcome an elevation gain of 358 m in the length of 4 km and a duration of about 2 hours - map here.
If you go from Vrbatova bouda to the red one, you will see Pančavský waterfall and Ambrožova vyhlídka, but in several places you will carry a pram, it is a mountain trail - see our photo gallery.
Before the trip, see how it is on the ridges of the Giant Mountains - webcams HERE and HERE
When you return, check when the last bus and especially the cable car are running - back to Špindl.
