Back to trip tips

This is not "another lake" but a full mountain day for active guests. Nová Pec describes Nová Pec–Plešné jezero–Plechý–Trojmezí–Třístoličník–Nové Údolí at about 22 km and around 5 h 28 min pure walking. The route need not be a loop: from Nové Údolí you can return by train. 🔴 In border and quiet zones of the NP you must respect marked trails and seasonally open sections.

Practical details

  • Opening hours: Přírodní trasa bez jedné otevírací doby; jednotlivé úseky podléhají návštěvnímu řádu NP a sezónním omezením.

On site

  • Leave early from Nová Pec and stay on the official marked route.
  • At Plešné jezero take the first longer break; the rest of the day is ridge walking.
  • Before border sections check current warnings and seasonal rules.
  • In Nové Údolí use a checked train connection back instead of improvising along the road.
