Pec pod Sněžkou
A mountain resort town at the foot of Sněžka. It is a popular ski resort in winter and the starting point for cable car rides or hikes up Sněžka in summer.
Pec pod Sněžkou lies on the eastern side of the Krkonoše Mountains. The town stretches along the valley with wooden mountain cabins and hotels. In winter, there are several ski runs and sledding slopes, suitable for family skiing. In summer, it is the main starting point for climbing Sněžka, which you can do by cable car or by hiking up the Giant Valley trail. The town also has a 'Fairy-Tale Mountain' themed trail. From Prague, it is about 3 hours by long-distance bus, and parking spaces should be checked in advance.
