The beautiful town of Jilemnice is situated 464 m above sea level and it is a setting-off point for the western Giant Mountains. Jilemnice is beautiful not only in summer but also in winter season when it is also important skiing centre, rightly called „the birthplace of the Czech skiing“. Jilemnice has about 6 thousand inhabitants.
An advantage of Jilemnice is its location – besides a number of historical monuments and buildings in the town, Jilemnice is setting point for hiking and biking trips as well. The Giant Mountains are paradies for hikers especially in summer. We can find here many hiking trails and paths as well as tourist goals. For example Zaly mountain, Zlate navrsi, the spring of the Elbe River, the Mumlava waterfall, the Elbe valley). Experienced bikers can visit higher situated place: Horni Misecky, Harrachov, Spindleruv Mlyn, Pec pod Snezkou, Zacler. Popular area under the Giant Mountains and the Bohemian Paradise is suitable for cyclists who do not like to steep hills. So you can visit for example the close chateau in Horni Branna, Veteran Cars Museum in Loukov, castle ruin Nistejka, Bozkov Dolomity Caves, castle Pecka, historical town Hostinne with the Antique museum etc. In short, everything is at arm´s length from Jilemnice – just to pick …If you want to bummel through Jilemnice, try the 8 km long educational trail „Jilemnice known and unknown“. This trail should show to tourists but also to the Jilemnice inhabitants sights and attractions of the town. Or you can try the marked cycling circle „Jilemnice criss-cross“ which is 24 km long and leads through Kozinec, Mricna, Martinice, Horni Branna, Hrabacov and back to the centre of Jilemnice. An advantage of the circle is that you can make it shorter or continue in another direction, for example to places we offer.
