Good to know: Excellent and unpretentious circuit. You drive most of the route downhill. Before the trip, check the operation of both cable cars! ATTENTION, you take the cable car Herlíkovice, not Bubákov! Bubákov is a cabin crossing the road and has only WINTER traffic. The profile and map of the cycle route is divided into two parts. Pláň - Herlíkovice and Žalý - Špindl. The Žalý lookout tower is definitely worth a visit!
Save the number on GoTAXI, in case of bad weather, faults can come to Vrchlabí for you, etc.
If you do not want to use the Na Pláň cable car, you can, of course, step on the Hromovka and then onto Pláň. The same in Herlíkovice you have the possibility of a more demanding alternative without the use of a cable car.
