Description
It takes about 90 mins to drive from Prague to where your adventure starts, high up on Jested, one of the most prominent mountains in the country.
Your guide will give you brief instructions at the beginning of the hike and show you how easy it is to use snowshoes. One can say that if you can walk, you can snowshoe too! Grab your gear including a flask of hot tea and a headlamp (torch) and off you go!
The trail leads you through snow capped trees and every now and then you get a glimpse of the Giant Mountains in the East, neighboring Germany and Poland in the North and on a clear day, even Prague in the South!
Depending on the group abilities, it takes around an hour and a half to two hours to reach the top of the mountain. There, you’re going to enjoy a well deserved break and maybe even a nice dinner or at least a cup of mulled wine (own expense) in a very interesting restaurant full of 60’ and 70’ glass, metal and ceramics design. No wonder the restaurant together with the TV tower above it is listed on a National Cultural Heritage list!
Once you hit the trail again, it’s time to turn on your headlamp and enjoy the last 30 minutes of snowshoeing in an unforgettable night atmosphere. Usually you’re back in Prague between 8 and 9 PM so you still have a chance to dine out in the city center in case you haven’t used the opportunity atop the Jested mountain.
