Published by: 04.11.2026

In summer Harrachov becomes the starting point for everything the Krkonoše Mountains have to offer: hiking trails that begin at the hotel, bike rides through the forests, the Mumlava Waterfalls half an hour away on foot, a summer toboggan run and a glassworks for the children. In the evening you sit on the terrace with a view of the mountains, the kids are in the pool, and dinner is already included.

Why Harrachov in summer?

Because you can leave the car parked. Hotel Šedý Vlk stands at the edge of town by the ski slope – in summer that means hiking trails right outside the door, the chairlift up Čertova hora within walking distance and the centre with restaurants and the glassworks a few minutes away. And the Krkonoše Mountains are about two hours from Prague.

Hiking from the hotel

The classic is the walk to the Mumlava Waterfalls – wide, flat, fine for children. If you want more, follow the Mumlava valley to the Vosecká bouda hut or on to the source of the Elbe. All routes by length and fitness under hiking trails from Harrachov.
