What options does špindl and its surrounding offer?
Our guesthouse is a great starting point for cycling, based on the fact that around our surrondings you may find more than 100 km of cycling paths, which are not only for advanced bikers, but also for families with children. When you will wake up with the morning sun, you may enjoy our healthy breakfast, take your bike and get the best out of this experience!

Relaxing trip to a hut by white elbe and waterfalls
We are pleased to recommend this trip, epecially if you are a family with children because you will find children’s playground all along the way with various activities. The beginning of the route is little steep, after the first four kilometers you will see first place where children can play on a large forest playground. From this place you reach in approximately 600m Hut by the White Elbe, where you can have a snack before continuing with the next part.
In front of the building are bicycle stands, where you can lock your bikes and go by foot to Čertova Strouha (waterfalls) along the yellow marked path. This path is an educational trail that offers countless views. After visiting the waterfalls, it is necessary to return along the same route to the Hut by the White Elbe (total distance by foot 3 km). As soon as you start cycling again, the best way to return back is to take the Dřevařská cesta (also along the yellow path), which is steep at the beginning (you can push the bikes), but after coming to the top you may enjoy a beuatiful view on the surroding mountains and just ride down and you are back in Špindl!

Exploring the best views - vrbatova and labská bouda
Are you a cycling enthusiast who likes to push the limits on a steep and long hill for a seeing a nice view? Here you can be sure you've come to the right place! This route begins with a three-kilometer-long hill in terrain up to the first point - Horní Mísečky, from where an asphalt road leads to the first refreshment point - Vrbatova bouda. Above Vrbatova bouda we find Monument of Hanč and Vrbata, which reminds us of a fight between two brave cross-country skiers against bad weather. However, from here you may enjoy an admirable view on the surrounding mountains and the highest mountain Sněžka.
After enjoying the view, you may continue for another four kilometers down the hill to Labská Bouda from where can see Labský Tall and Vysoké Kolo. It is necessary to go back along the same path to Horní Mísečky, based on the fact the entire are is in nature park.

Here we have to point out that a two-kilometer steep hill is definitely worth it, as it also offers a beautiful view on Giant Mountains.
