The Krkonose Mountains stretch for some 35 kilometres and form a mighty, natural barrier on the perimeter of the large open plains in neighbouring Germany and Poland. These giants, which hold a special place in Czech hearts, are increasingly more ‘handicap friendly’, with nearly three dozen barrier-free trails now mapped out and maintained by the Krkonose Mountains National Park, or KRNAP, which covers an area of over 40,000 hectares.
