Winter in Bohemian Switzerland<\/a> and the Lusatian Mountains<\/a> can be freezing cold with lots of snow, but also icy with a temperature around 0 degrees. Whatever it is, you can discover places, which you will not find anywhere else. So where are you going on a trip today??<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Icewaterfalls<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    When it is below zero for a long time, water dripping from the ubiquitous sandstone rocks slowly creates glacial formations. Sometimes they are complete icefalls several meters high, sometimes long icicles. The most famous ice karsts are along Brtnick\u00e9 and Vl\u010d\u00ed potok. We call them Brtnice icefalls<\/a>. You want to go through almost all of them? Leave your car in Kr\u00e1sn\u00e1 L\u00edpa, arrive by bus 407 to the village of Brtn\u00edky and walk back along the green road through \u0160ternberk in the direction of Kyjov <\/a>and Kr\u00e1sn\u00e1 L\u00edpa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Other lesser-known ice beauties can be found in Pavl\u00edna Valley<\/a> and in the river valley kamenice<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. On snowshoes almost anywhere<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    imagine, that you walk through the forest and all the branches, stones, the trees and bushes are covered with snow. You just around \u201cyou are sailing\u201d on snowshoes and you stick to the direction, where you want to go. Go straight to the top of the mountains for example: Lu\u017e<\/a>, Jedlova<\/a>, Ch\u0159ibsk\u00fd vrch<\/a>, Vl\u010d\u00ed Hora<\/a> is an adventure in winter. And if the inversion is down, there is a blue sky above\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. Crystal Valley<\/a> or traveling to glassmakers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Who doesn’t know Czech glass? \u2013 Bohemian Crystal. And from Bohemian Cottage is the center of glassmaking, Nov\u00fd Bor is just over the hill, more precisely, over a saddle in the Lusatian Mountains called \u0160\u00e9br. Many well-known glass companies and family businesses are located in Nov\u00e9 Bor and its surroundings. A large number of them are ready to show tourists their craft. And that right in front of the glass furnace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4. Cross-country skiing or on foot<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It depends on the snow conditions, but when he attacks in the Lusatian Mountains, tak nad 600 meters, the snow usually remains and scooters come out to prepare the running tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ski Polevsko<\/a> they prepare the cross-country tracks from Kytlice to the seat of glass masters Kamenick\u00fd \u0160enov. So you can cross-country ski even to Lord’s rock<\/a> (The Proud Princess was also there).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Secret tip: Put on your cross-country skis in the village of Zahrady u Rumburka (railway station) and you can go along the railway line in the direction of Pansk\u00fd, Brtn\u00edky, Mikul\u00e1\u0161ovice and back. You will discover places, where you don’t just look (unless you are traveling by train, which only runs in the summer, so the road is safe in winter for this adventure trip).

    5. Design obsession<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When I accompany tourists, we always have to jump somewhere for a beer or a coffee or just sit in one place, where is something \u201cMagnificent\u201d. Let’s try to stop for an excellent coffee at Coffee&Book in D\u011b\u010d\u00edn, in the Atelier cafe, where you walk on the floor \u201cpoured with coffee\u201d or in the Hosana cafe in Varnsdorf, where the clock is not ticking . You can find a large selection of bitter liquor flavors at the Kocour brewery, where you listen to the beer clock. The artistic experience will absorb you in the Cifra gallery in Doubice or the Perla National Gallery<\/a> in Kyjov. If you are looking for a quiet, fragrant environment, stop at the Nobilis Tilia teahouse in Vl\u010d\u00ed Hora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
