Hiking the Via Czechia | Part 1: Jizerské Hory

The Via Czechia is a network of long distance hiking trails that circle and cross the Czech Republic. The network currently includes a total of over 10,000 kilometers of routes, which means almost endless opportunities to explore the Czech landscape, nature, monuments or places of pilgrimage all year round and in various ways. There are six main trails, and we've opted to hike a part of the Northern trail. This trail connects the most Western and most Eastern point of the Czech Republic (Czechia in short). Why this part? Well, both the Jizerské Hory and the Krkonoše (both mountainranges) are stunningly beautiful with thick forests, amazing waterfalls and formidable rock formations. This area is also relatively well connected to Prague, which means getting there is not much of a hassle. We hiked for five days, of which three in the Jizerske Hory (or "Iron Mountains"), and the final two in the Krkonoše (named after the legendary giant "Krkonoš"). The route was well maintained, mostly running through lush forests and hilly meadows. However, don't let the distances fool you, some parts are pretty strenuous with steep climbs and at some parts strairways over huge boulders and rocks. All trails of the Via Czechia, including gps-data and maps, can be found on www.viaczechia.cz. The accomodations we stayed at can all be found on booking.com and all of them were prefectly fine. This was our itinerary: Day 1: Chrastava to Hejnice (25 km) Day 2: Hejnice to Jizerka (26 km) Day 3: Jizerka to Harrachov (23 km) Day 4: Harrachov to Labská Bouda (16 km) Day 5: Labská Bouda tot Lucni Bouda (15 km) Along the route there are places to get drinks and some food, so you're not completely out on your own. Do bear in mind that Labská Bouda and Lucni Bouda are hotels in the middle of nowhere, so there are no other options to stay. I hope you'll enjoy these video's as much as we did hiking this trail. It truly was a great experience and proved yet again that the Czech Republic/Czechia is a great place to enjoy medieval castles and towns, great outdoor activities and naturally the famous Czech beer (which has an excellent price to quality ratio... ;) Gear used: Main camera: Sony A7III Vlog camera: Samsung S22 Drone: DJI Mavic Air Gimbal: Zhiyun Weebill S
