Map of trips with kids in the Alps

Sat, 29 Aug 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Art trail

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 18:10:00 +0200

A short ridge walk past works of art.

Bullzone Nauders

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 18:10:00 +0200

Solve tasks on the way to the Stieralm and earn a reward!

The game card is available right at the entrance gate.

Explorer trail

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 18:10:00 +0200

A nicely made trail that can be walked in either direction. I warmly recommend going downhill, though. For example by walking from Fiss past the Wolfsee and the Indian village.

Golden Man trail

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 18:10:00 +0200

A trail where you complete tasks in the Locandy app that lead you to the Golden Man. It runs along the ridge, but on a short stretch you still climb quite a bit.

Ladis play and adventure trail

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 18:10:00 +0200

A walk past smaller fun stations. You can extend the route all the way to the lookout tower and the Wode bath.

Pirate trail

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 18:10:00 +0200

A beautifully designed trail in search of pirate captain Pepper’s treasure.

Serfaus marble run

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 18:10:00 +0200

A great way to make the descent to Serfaus more fun and skip the cable car!

Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis with kids

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 18:10:00 +0200

Strictly speaking I should say Tiroler Oberland rather than Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis, but this trio of villages alone offers plenty to do for families with children.

I recommend using public transport. You can’t get into Serfaus by car at all unless you are staying there. You have to park at the park-and-ride car park and take the local metro. Besides the buses, you can also use the cable-car connections.

The biggest draw for children are the huge playgrounds and three beautifully designed themed trails, which are not demanding in any way – neither physically nor in terms of the tasks.

Witches' trail

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 18:10:00 +0200

A trail themed around two witch siblings who got up to mischief at home.

Wo-Bä-Lu

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 18:10:00 +0200

An easy trail where you have to use the SFL app, get close to a station and answer questions about the lives of wolves, lynxes and bears. The information boards around each station hint at the correct answer.

After completing it successfully you can collect a reward at the local information centre.

Goldpark Nauders

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 15:15:00 +0000

A large playground with lots of attractions.

In the part around the ski slope you can walk an easy trail and collect a reward at the restaurant.

Hög adventure park

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 15:15:00 +0000

Indian playground

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 15:15:00 +0000

Murmliwasser Serfaus

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 15:15:00 +0000

A huge playground with lots of attractions. Some of them are quite unusual. In the mines you can find little “gems” and pan for gold in the troughs.

The extensive marmot burrows, which even lead under water, are unique. Don’t forget your torches!

Playground at Schöngampalm

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 15:15:00 +0000

Playground at the Sonnenbahn middle station

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 15:15:00 +0000

Playground at Wolfsee

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 15:15:00 +0000

A nice playground themed around the local predators – lynx, wolf and bear. The kids can even crawl into their dens.

Summer Fun Park Fiss

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 15:15:00 +0000

This playground is a bit of a Disneyland, and you pay for a lot of the attractions. There is tower jumping, pony riding, a tubing track, a zipline, an alpine coaster and much more.

Wode bath playground Ladis

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 15:15:00 +0000

A lovely playground that takes a bit of a walk to reach, but it’s worth it! Next to it there is also a superbly equipped barbecue area with sparkling clean toilets. Firewood and an axe are available on site; the goodies for the grill you have to bring yourself :).

Fendels playground

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 12:15:00 +0000

A children’s playground with water features.

Fendels-Sattelklause playground and riddle trail

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 12:15:00 +0000

The biggest attraction here is definitely the cab of a snow groomer that kids can climb into.

The cable car is great too: those who want to walk the barefoot trail can use it to send their shoes across to the other side.

Around the top station of the lift there is a very short riddle trail with the local mascots Bibi and Kauni, suitable even for the youngest. You can pick up a reward in the form of a small semi-precious stone at the restaurant.

Fisser Joch playground

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 12:15:00 +0000

A mine-themed playground.

Georama Lassida

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 12:15:00 +0000

Play palaeontologist and look for dinosaur tracks. Along the way there are several marble runs; you can buy the glass marbles at the start for 2 euros.

Widiversum

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 18:10:50 +0200

A big playground at Hochoetz with the sheep Widi as its main mascot.

Various themed trails lead to the surrounding mountain huts, where you can collect stamps. Each of them can be exchanged for a badge with one of Widi’s friends.

Along the route of attractions around the lake you can also collect letters for a puzzle and finally pick up a reward at the bistro. There’s a 5D cinema too.

Längenfeld treasure hunt

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 18:10:00 +0200

A very easy route in Längenfeld running largely along the river. Doable with a stroller too. The way downstream is livened up by outdoor gym stations. The easiest option is to park at the swimming pool.

Ochsengarten treasure hunt

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 18:10:00 +0200

An easy treasure hunt suitable even for small children and strollers. You can park at the playground.

Ötztal with kids

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 18:10:00 +0200

The Ötztal valley is famous above all for skiing. Besides Sölden, World Cup races are also held in Obergurgl further up the valley, which is my Austrian favourite.

For kids there is the huge Widiversum playground at Hochoetz and plenty of trails livened up by hunting for “treasures”. In practice these are very easy-to-find geocaches. Their positions are mostly listed in the official geocaching apps as well. For all the routes, the tourist information centres offer paper maps with details on where each box is located; the boxes contain either a question you need to answer to get letters for the puzzle, or the letters themselves. Once the puzzle is solved, a reward awaits the kids at the information centres.

Sattele Route treasure hunt

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 18:10:00 +0200

This treasure hunt is a lovely alpine hike for kids. Along the way at Marlstein you pass a playground, and you can get refreshments at the Feldringer Alm, which you reach by descending across mountain meadows with beautiful views. From there it’s a quick trip back to the car park along a descending path.

Sautens Magic Forest

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 18:10:00 +0200

Set off with Widi to find the forest animals along an easy trail that is also suitable for strollers. Complete the tasks and play at the playground at the end. Parking at the school.

Sölden treasure hunt

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 18:10:00 +0200

A walk with views of Sölden. It has a bit more elevation gain than the easier variant. You can park here, start with the second cache and save the first one for the end.

Stuibenfall treasure hunt

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 18:10:00 +0200

An easy walk above Umhausen. Suitable even in poorer weather. It passes the Ötzi Village, which didn’t impress us much.

Stuibenfall waterfall

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 18:10:00 +0200

A superb trail around the waterfall. I recommend taking the bus from Umhausen up to Niederthai and walking down alongside the waterfall.

Zirbenwald Obergurgl treasure hunt

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 18:10:00 +0200

A trip through a forest of the local unique pines. This treasure hunt requires you to answer questions about the forest correctly. The information boards along the path will help you.

You can extend the route a little to a viewpoint over the waterfall.

Aqua Dome Längenfeld

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 15:15:00 +0000

Längenfeld playground

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 15:15:00 +0000

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 15:15:00 +0000

Nature Park House Längenfeld

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 15:05:19 +0200

Ötzi Village

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 15:05:19 +0200

We didn’t like it here much. We wouldn’t really recommend a visit.

Kazín

Sat, 30 May 2026 15:15:00 +0000

A trip to what is probably the prettiest viewpoint over the Berounka valley in the area.

Along the way you can stop to admire the trees and shrubs in the Všenory arboretum. Here you’ll find a great swing, another one here, and you can grill some sausages too; and after scrambling past the rock where the castle of Libuše’s sister Kazi supposedly once stood, you can dip your feet in the Berounka and get something tasty at Tornádo.

Panna and Kalich

Sat, 30 May 2026 15:15:00 +0000

A trip to a castle founded by Jan Žižka himself. Admission is charged at weekends to cover the cost of maintaining the ruins. The climb is pretty steep, but the views are worth it!

You can extend the route with a visit to the nearby ruins of Panna. Nobody looks after that one, but the little rocks on the top and the views are lovely as well. In Řepčice you can refresh yourselves with water from the spring.

Sedlo

Sat, 30 May 2026 15:15:00 +0000

The climb up Sedlo is pretty steep, but if you have little mountain goats at home, they will surely love it, because they definitely won’t be bored. There are plenty of small rocks along the way and the views are superb.

Hazmburk Castle

Sat, 16 May 2026 08:15:00 +0000

A walk up to one of the most scenic castle ruins in the country. Its unmistakable silhouette can be seen from far away.

The sweeping views from the top of the castle tower, over the Central Bohemian Uplands, Říp and beyond, are truly superb. I’d therefore recommend saving the visit for a day with good visibility.

The ascent from the east and then along the red trail is manageable even with an all-terrain pram.

Borotín

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 01:00:00 +0000

A short walk along the nature trail from Borotín to a romantic castle ruin and a Baroque farmstead that is being beautifully restored.

Choustník

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 01:00:00 +0000

A short walk to an extensive castle ruin. It can be done with a pram too.

If you don’t have one and your kids like scrambling over rocks, you can follow a beautiful little path along the rocky ridge and pick up a geocache or two along the way.

Kozí Hrádek

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 01:00:00 +0000

A walk through the forest around the remains of a small castle where Jan Hus once stayed. They’ve put together a nice nature trail with comics about it.

The walk is made even nicer by a game reserve with fallow deer and other animals, or perhaps by the low-flying planes from the nearby airfield.

Pintovka

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 01:00:00 +0000

A pretty walk close to Tábor. It’s especially lovely along the Lužnice river, and the rest of the way is livened up by a game reserve and information boards.

Řevnov School

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 01:00:00 +0000

A great place for families with kids. Large apartments, two fully equipped kitchens, a playroom. A big garden with a summer kitchen, swings, a sandpit, a fire pit, a barbecue and a truly huge amount of toys.

Through the Jistebnice orchards

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 01:00:00 +0000

A walk along the nature trail around the Jistebnice ponds. It could also be done with a more rugged pram.

Velký Blaník

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 01:00:00 +0000

Off to see the legendary knights at the summit, where there is a nice wooden lookout tower.

Then along the nature trail to the House of Nature.

Send dad back to the car, for instance :).

Vlašim

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 01:00:00 +0000

A walk through the beautiful, extensive chateau park at Vlašim Chateau.

There is a nice playground at the start, and a well-made game makes the walk more fun for the kids.

This trip can be combined with a visit to Parazoo.

Not included in the Salzburgerland Card.

Salzburg region with kids

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:58:00 +0200

The southern and south-eastern Salzburg region is great for an active holiday with kids. Mountains reachable by cable car, lots of playgrounds, water parks, marble runs, gorges and the city of Salzburg itself!

The area is divided by the individual valleys and by how the mountain resorts are grouped together.

There are three large parts. The Gastein valley, Hochkönig and the area grouped under Snowspace (around Wagrain). Then there are individual resorts such as Zauchersee, Rauris or Filzmoos.

Salzburgerland Card

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:57:39 +0200

You can buy the Salzburgerland Card online for 6 or 12 days.

The website looks a bit odd, so much so that I was worried whether it was real, but my fears were unfounded. You can find more about purchasing and the prices here.

You can buy it at any time; it becomes valid on first use. It arrives by email. It can be printed. I recommend saving it to your phones, though. Ideally among the cards in Google Wallet or Apple Pay.

Salzburg

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:57:28 +0200

Salzburg is a beautiful city whose historic centre is not too big, so you can easily visit it with kids.

It offers many attractions, so you need to choose carefully.

On the way to the mountains we already stopped at the Salzburg zoo. It is fairly small but has extensive enclosures for the animals, so they can be hard to spot. At first we were disappointed, because in the midday heat all the animals were hiding and we did not see a single one in the first five enclosures.

Bad Hofgastein Mauskarkopf

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:54:00 +0200

A more demanding hike with 316 m of elevation gain. A short section is secured with ropes.

Bad Hofgastein Turchlwand

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:54:00 +0200

Given the elevation gain and length, this hike is better suited to older children. A beautiful alpine hike rewarded with views from the summit.

Dorfgastein Bee Trail

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:51:27 +0200

On this trail you will learn lots of interesting facts about bees. It is worth combining with the Nature Experience Trail.

Part of Gasti’s hiking adventure.

Bad Gastein Dwarf Trail

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:51:08 +0200

You can conveniently park at the end of the route and walk it in reverse. Note that the first (or rather last) stamp checkpoint is only at the Grüner Baum bus stop.

A themed walk with dwarf pictures above Bad Gastein. Also suitable for strollers.

Part of Gasti’s hiking adventure.

Dorfgastein Legend Trail

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:50:53 +0200

An easy walk that introduces you to the local legends.

Part of Gasti’s hiking adventure.

Grossarler Sense Path

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:50:53 +0200

A route over the Kreuzkogel to the Harbachhutte, near which there are several installations dedicated to the individual elements.

The most engaging stop was the one where you identify various herbs and spices by smell. The mushroom-shaped toilet was good fun.

Dorfgastein Mushroom Trail

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:50:37 +0200

Who doesn’t love mushroom picking? Learn something about mushrooms on the way down from the Fulseck summit to the cable car’s middle station. From the Arltorl saddle you need to head left.

Part of Gasti’s hiking adventure.

Dorfgastein Nature Experience Trail

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:50:21 +0200

A pleasant walk above Dorfgastein where you learn something new about nature, come across a playground and get a stamp for your hiking diary.

The route starts with the Bee Trail.

Part of Gasti’s hiking adventure.

Taxenbach Kitzlochklamm

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:49:48 +0200

A walk through the gorge during which you climb a lot of steps :).

The car park at the entrance is paid. It is only 3 euros, but if you park at the more distant free car park you can also pass by 3 playgrounds around the football pitch in Taxenbach.

Mühlbach Almspielplatz

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:48:38 +0200

A walk with lovely stops for kids. The little houses in particular are sure to delight them! There is a water playground by the hut.

Kaprun Motoricweg

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:45:56 +0200

A very nicely and unconventionally designed trail that will test your motor skills. Kids have a clear advantage :).

Kaprun Sigmund Thun Klamm

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:45:10 +0200

A well-known gorge near Kaprun. You can shorten the route by not walking around the lake.

St.Johann Liechtensteinklamm

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:45:10 +0200

A walk through the gorge ending at a large waterfall.

The way there and back is the same and this place is quite popular. It is therefore a good idea to avoid the busiest times and visit either in the morning or in the evening.

Zauchensee Gipfeltour

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:44:41 +0200

While adults can do the 4-peaks route above Zauchensee, the local mascot Zauchi has prepared just two peaks for the kids.

If they complete this hike and punch their summit card with the pliers, a reward awaits them at the bottom station.

Zauchensee Meistercup der Alpentiere

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:44:23 +0200

A route around the top station of the cable car dedicated to the superpowers of animals. Can you jump like a deer, overcome obstacles like a squirrel, or crawl through a burrow like a marmot?

Depending on their performance the kids get 1-3 points, which they mark on a card with the pliers. Once they complete all the stations, a reward at the bottom station of the cable car is guaranteed.

Filzmoos Moosalm

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:43:25 +0200

A climb of almost 300 m of elevation gain to a proper alpine hut. You can buy things like local milk with blueberries or blueberry cake here.

Although the metres of ascent may seem like a lot, 15 stamps await the kids over 2 kilometres. That’s one almost every 150 metres! The way passes quickly. You can pick up the stamp booklet, which doubles as a colouring book, at the information centre.

Filzmoos Bartl Familienwaderweg

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:42:50 +0200

A relaxed walk from Filzmoos with several stops for children. Also suitable for a stroller.

Filzmoos picture book round

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:39:22 +0200

A very short trail at the top station of the Papagenobahn with several nice stops about nature. There is also a playground here.

Check the cable car’s operating hours. It doesn’t run every day!

Filzmoos Moorpfad

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:38:58 +0200

A nicely made nature trail about peat bogs. Don’t forget to pick up the accompanying booklet at the bottom of the cable car.

At each stop you need to answer a question, which gives you a letter for the final puzzle. If you put the word together correctly, the kids get a reward at the bottom of the cable car.

Check the cable car’s operating hours. It doesn’t run every day!

Dorfgastein Kugelparsours

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:37:50 +0200

At the middle station of the Fulseck cable car there are several great, unconventional stations for playing with wooden balls.

Swing park Hochkönig

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:37:50 +0200

A large playground focused mainly on swinging and all kinds of climbing frames. At the hut by the lake there is another playground, better suited to smaller children too. You can feed the llamas.

Floris Erlebnispfad

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:35:52 +0200

A trail with stops for children in the resort known for the women’s World Cup ski slalom. It starts at the top station of starjet1.

Along the way you answer questions and collect the letters of the final word. Once solved, the kids get a reward at the bottom station of the cable car.

Rauris Tillys forest trail

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:35:52 +0200

At the top station you can see birds of prey.

A walk to the middle station of the cable car during which you learn about alpine fauna and flora.

At each stop you punch the corresponding box in a booklet with a pair of pliers; you can pick up the booklet at the bottom station of the cable car.

At the Heimalm by the middle station the kids can then collect a reward.

Grossarl Gaudi Alm

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:34:23 +0200

A big playground with every attraction for kids you can think of. We spent half a day here.

Mühlbach Kugelbahn

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:33:04 +0200

A really large number of marble runs with all sorts of obstacles.

Whatever you walk down you of course have to walk back up, but it is definitely worth it!

Světovina

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A nice trip near Zbiroh. You can park comfortably by the local inn. The start of the route follows the road and isn’t very interesting.

However, once you join the green-marked trail, you get into a nice forest and soon start coming across small rocks. A pleasant path along a rocky ridge leads to the summit of Světovina. From there you drop steeply down to a junction and follow the yellow trail to the Čertovy skály (Devil’s Rocks).

Krásná stráň

Sat, 21 Dec 2024 15:15:00 +0000

Krásná stráň has conditions that are unique for the Czech Republic. The rocky, southeast-facing slope has an almost Mediterranean climate. Thanks to that, our largest lizard thrives here, as do succulents. Incidentally, nearby Dobřichovice holds the record for the highest temperature ever measured in the Czech Republic.

You can park on the flat area in the old quarry. From there you can scramble up a little path onto the ridge and follow it all the way to the top. In summer, though, it can be fairly overgrown and it may be better to use the green trail. It’s only a small detour.

Ahornbahn

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

The airy Ahornbahn cable car takes you up above the small town of Mayrhofen. The car park is right next to it, and once you have used the cable car the parking fee is considerably cheaper.

Kids will especially enjoy the water fun at the playground by Lake Ahornsee. At the other one, the FalknerOase, there are birds of prey shows.

A trip here works even in worse weather, because the top station has a great play room run by Ravensburger, the company that makes all sorts of games and puzzles. Even the dads will keep themselves busy for a while with the marble run construction set.

Alain Tower

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

Since you can drive all the way up to the summit of Tábor, the walk starts off downhill for a change.

This route is also suitable for a pram. Without a pram you can shorten it a little by following the blue trail.

Alain Tower is a neo-Gothic tower that originally served the estate owners as a hunting perch, so don’t expect sweeping views of the countryside – but together with the surrounding clearing it makes a lovely quiet spot that is well worth a visit.

Apartmány K74

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

Great accommodation for a family with kids. Loads of toys. The pool is quite cold, but the kids don’t mind. Martin and Zuzka also keep various animals.

Auenland Sidan

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A large playground next to the cycle path that runs along the Ziller river. Water features, refreshments. Parking a short distance from the playground.

Basalt organ pipes

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

The basalt volcanic formation Panská skála near Kamenický Šenov.

Bílina fairy-tale forest

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

In Bílina they have a forest full of sculptures of fairy-tale characters. You can drive almost right up to it, but why not take a walk around the area?

You can park in the car park by the swimming pool. The yellow trail then climbs steeply past the chateau garden to the place where a Slavic hillfort once stood, though nothing remains of it now.

Once you’ve gained the altitude, the path continues pleasantly along the hillside.

Blatná Chateau

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

The chateau, surrounded by water, is interesting for children mainly because of its park, where they can pet fallow deer and spot peacocks.

Božanovský Špičák

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A more demanding route with a fair amount of climbing. The reward is a loop around the summit with small rock formations and several viewpoints.

Broumov Walls from Hvězda

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

You can drive right up to the car park below the Hvězda mountain hut, next to which stands a chapel gazing out over the landscape below. The red trail along the ridge among the rocks is great fun, the kilometres fly by and the views are beautiful.

To get back to Hvězda you unfortunately have to drop down the yellow trail and climb back up again from Seton’s spring, but the final stretch is once more surrounded by rocks, so it doesn’t really matter.

Cimburk Castle

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A trip to the ruin of Cimburk Castle, tucked away in the middle of the Chřiby forests. On the way back you’ll also pass the striking rock formation Kozel.

This route is suitable for prams too.

Collecting stamps

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

Collecting stamps is a way to motivate kids and liven up their trips.

The Zillertal area offers several options.

A few places offer them separately:

Eggalm - EggAlm Hiking Rally, if you collect at least three stamps and answer the questions correctly, you get a reward. You get the stamp leaflet at the ticket office.
Rosenalm - walk the trail, discover the story of the Fichtenschloss and collect the stamps. You get the stamp leaflet at the top station. Hand it in at the ticket office at the bottom, for example.

The individual areas then have their own hiking passes:

If you have a question or a comment, please use the contact form.

Cvikov

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A loop around Zelený vrch near Cvikov passes two viewpoints. Schiller’s viewpoint in particular offers a lovely view of the Lusatian Mountains. At the Forest Theatre the kids can try out what it’s like to be an actor.

Parking is right next to a small playground.

As a reward you can treat yourselves to something tasty at the nearby brewery.

Cycling with kids

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

Cycling lets you cover a much greater distance with kids. On top of that, you get through the less interesting stretches faster. Walking along a road is no fun, but in some places it is the only way to reach the interesting spots.

I was surprised how quickly kids learn to ride a bike. Nowadays, when most kids ride a balance bike, training wheels are not needed. They already have their balance from the balance bike. So in the beginning I ran alongside and held on when necessary, but otherwise we managed without training wheels. Of course you need to keep an eye on them, especially when it comes to the rules of the road, and teach them to brake.

Děčín

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

In Děčín I recommend visiting Děčín Zoo – it’s small but lovely, and don’t forget to also visit the Rajské ostrovy (Paradise Islands) exhibition, which is outside the zoo grounds. Your zoo ticket is valid there on the same day too. A short walk from the zoo, the Pastýřská stěna lookout is worth a visit, with a beautiful view of Děčín (the restaurant and lookout tower were under renovation in 2025). You can continue on to Děčín Castle with its large, beautifully kept park. For children they have prepared the “Little Explorer’s Trail”, which guides kids through the park with a map and tasks, and once they’ve solved them a small reward awaits at the castle ticket office.

Děčínský Sněžník

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

From the car park you head uphill via the Dresden viewpoint to the summit of the largest table mountain in the country, topped by the beautiful stone lookout tower Děčínský Sněžník. Tickets and the keys to the tower are available at the snack bar next to it. The way back follows the tarmac road with views down to the car park.

The route is also suitable for a pram, as most of it is on tarmac.

Dolský mlýn mill

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

The ruin of the Dolský mlýn mill, familiar from several Czech fairy-tale films, is definitely a place you’ll want to visit with kids. The pleasant walk along the little Jetřichovická Bělá river is suitable for a pram too, and at the mill the children can splash about below the weir on the Kamenice river.

Parking in Jetřichovice at the designated car parks costs 200 Kč for the whole day, and one ticket is valid at the other car parks in Jetřichovice as well.

Doubice Wooden Sculpture Park

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

In Doubice you can see more than 350 wooden sculptures depicting all sorts of fairy-tale and mythical characters. It’s ideal to combine the visit with lunch at the Stará hospoda restaurant.

Dům Jonáš

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A house with two apartments, perfectly equipped for families with children, including a kids’ corner. Outside there’s a playground, and the surrounding area offers plenty of options for day trips.

Eggalmbahn

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

The Eggalmbahn cable car is located in the village of Tux. Right next to it there is a large free car park and the information centre for the Tux area.

At the top station there is the AlmSpielerei water playground. A big draw for kids is floating rubber ducks down the water channels. The ducks can be bought in the nearby restaurant.

At the bottom station you can pick up a leaflet for the Eggalm Hiking Rally. After collecting at least three stamps at various spots in the Eggalm area and answering a few questions, you can pick up a nice reward at the bottom station of the cable car. We got stylish water bottles.

Falkenštejn

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

If the loop over the Jetřichovice viewpoints wasn’t enough for you and you still fancy climbing a few (dozen) more steps, head for the ruin of the rock castle Falkenštejn – the views are worth it.

Freitzeitpark Zell

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A mining-themed playground, a big trampoline and a great bouldering wall with routes for kids. Minigolf is available. Parking right next to the playground. There is a parking meter, but two hours are free.

Fügen forest playground

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

Fügen swimming pool

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

Geocaching

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

Geocaching is a way to spice up a trip for kids. Who wouldn’t like hunting for hidden treasure? Plus, the search can take you to places you would never otherwise have thought of going.

In short, it is about finding hidden “caches” (treasures) using GPS coordinates. A cache can be of various sizes and contain various things. Usually there is a logbook inside where you write down when and where you found the cache. Some caches also contain items you can swap.

Gerlos forest playground

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

The walk between Gerlos and Gmünd is also suitable for pushchairs. The path runs nicely along the river. Along the way you will come across several tree houses and trout ponds.

For older kids there are also two stories in Locandy: Der Kristall der Wünsche and Der Fluch des Hexenmeisters . Unfortunately only in German. You get the additional materials at the information centre in Gerlos.

The biggest draw, however, is the huge playground. You will find a marble run, climbing frames, slides and trampolines here. Fun is guaranteed.

Glass Garden

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A garden made of gorgeous glass flowers in all sorts of curious shapes. A hell with devils. A church decorated with glass.

Grabštejn Castle

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

The castle, which was almost completely devastated, hides a surprising treasure in the form of the gold-decorated Chapel of St. Barbara. They offer tours for children.

Hainzenberg playground

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A playground at the bottom station of the Gerlosstein cable car.

Hintertux- Luis Glacier Bug Safari & Luis Marble Run Safari

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A trip to the Hintertux glacier. The Zillertal Active Card is only valid up to the middle station (Sommerberg). If you want to go higher, you have to pay extra.

The playground is part of the TuxWelten and consists of water features and marble runs. Its mascot is Luis the glacier flea. It forms a short loop that is better walked anticlockwise (start at the water section). You then walk the marble run from the top and the kids do not have to go back. At the water section there is also diamond fishing, which our kids liked.

House of Bohemian Switzerland in Krásná Lípa

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A beautiful interactive exhibition about the nature of Bohemian Switzerland.

In the footsteps of the mammoth hunters

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

In Boršice there’s a short nature trail with sculptures and information about the age of the mammoth hunters.

Isskogelbahn

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A playground with climbing frames is right next to the top station of the cable car. More attractions, including a long marble run and several water features, can be found along a short loop that climbs up to the Latschensee reservoir and then back past a restaurant with another playground.

In summer 2024 stops for an interactive game in Locandy were also being built here.

If your kids can handle a bigger elevation gain, you can also conquer the Isskogel summit itself.

Jetřichovice viewpoints

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

From the car park by the Jetřichovice sanatorium you head straight into the rocks, climbing up to the magnificent Marie’s viewpoint, and from there continue to Vilemína’s Wall and Rudolf’s Stone.

The walk is made all the more pleasant by the blueberries growing everywhere, so there’s no shortage of snacks.

From Rudolf’s Stone it’s all downhill back to Jetřichovice, where, looking up at the viewpoints you’ve just visited, there’s nothing left to do but congratulate yourselves on how high you climbed.

Jindřichova skála and Beran

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A trip to a viewpoint with an ornate railing made in the nearby ironworks. From here you can see Valdek Castle.

Then it’s a climb along a pleasant unmarked path to the summit of Beran, where you’ll find a small rock, a summit book and a thermometer.

Kazatelna and Klimentek

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

This route takes you to a rock formation that resembles a pulpit, which is how it got its name. From Kazatelna there’s a nice view of nearby Cimburk.

The path then continues to the little church of St Clement on top of the hill, where a Great Moravian hillfort once stood. Before reaching it you can make a detour to the nearby spring of St Gorazd.

Konigsleiten Dorfbahn

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A cable car offering a walk along a marble run down to a lake. There are several sculptures there, but their descriptions are only in German. The route then climbs to the nearby Königsleitenspitze summit.

If that is not enough for anyone, you can also pop over to the Falschriedel summit. Or even go as far as Ochsenkopf, but the route along the ridge is a bit more demanding.

Another option is to walk down the Jodelwanderweg trail.

Kotel

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

This short trip takes you to the lookout tower above Rokycany.

Koukolova hora

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

Koukolova hora is one of my favourite places for a trip, especially in spring when the liverworts are in bloom. In the old quarry below the summit in particular, whole carpets of them come out. Kids who aren’t that much into admiring flowers will certainly enjoy crawling through the short caves.

The route is quite a steep climb at first, but after that it’s practically all downhill.

I recommend taking the train to get here.

KovoZoo

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

Employees of the local scrapyard started making animal sculptures out of leftover metal. It has grown into a fantastic park that delights kids and adults alike. Among other things, there’s also a lighthouse and a pirate ship.

Kunovice Aviation Museum

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

Aviation has a strong tradition in Kunovice thanks to the LET factory. Many of the aircraft types that were built there can be seen in the museum next to the airfield. Among others, there’s the government plane that brought the gold-medal hockey players home from Nagano.

Kyjov Valley

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

Although the name suggests a place in Moravia, this rocky gorge is on the other side of the country.

A very nice walk. Kids will love climbing along the rocky paths, the ladders and the animal sculptures.

Lemberk Castle

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A walk to Lemberk Castle past several local points of interest, including Zdislava’s spring. At the castle you can, for example, climb the tower.

Lichnice Castle

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A trip to the ruin of Lichnice Castle, which towers on the ridge of the Iron Mountains.

To make it less easy, though, the route first heads downhill through the Lovětín gorge, passes below the castle, and then you have to climb back up again.

The reward is a tour of the extensive ruin, whose tower is open as a lookout.

On the way back to the car, try not to miss the turn-off to the Dívčí kámen viewpoint, which rises above the gorge.

Luž

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

The walk to the highest peak of the Lusatian Mountains is manageable even for kids, because you can drive up fairly high. From Chata Luž, where there’s a big car park, it isn’t that far.

There’s a lookout tower on the summit.

Lynx nature trail

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A beautifully designed forest adventure area with 20 interactive stations.

Máminka

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A trip in the Křivoklát forests to a lookout tower with a poetic name and an interesting design. A short way before the top there is a little garden of thoughts. For kids it’s interesting mainly because the path is nicely laid out.

I recommend visiting in autumn, when the surrounding forests turn beautiful colours.

This route is also suitable for pushchairs, but you need to allow for the elevation gain. You can also skip the summit and just walk around Krušná hora, which is a nice walk too.

Mariánské Lázně

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

The spa town offers a surprisingly interesting walk. You stroll along the colonnade to the old gondola lift. It takes you up to Park Bohemium, which is full of miniatures of famous Czech buildings. The kids also enjoy being able to steer a fire boat that sprays water.

The way back leads downhill past a game reserve and a small lookout tower.

If you park at the end of the route, there’s a playground in the nearby park.

Mariina skála

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A short walk to a picturesque viewpoint that anyone can manage. There’s a wooden gazebo on top of the rock.

Markoušovice Ridge

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A pleasant ridge with small fortifications and a lookout tower offering far-reaching views of the surrounding countryside.

Moulis Family Farm

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

Nice farm accommodation with friendly owners. Very well equipped for children. Outside there’s a fenced area where kids can pet the animals, and there’s a playground too.

Oborský rybník pond

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A relaxed walk near Lomnice. You can park at the swimming pool. Several wooden sculptures are placed around the pond and there’s a playground here too.

Oybin

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A slightly more demanding route, but one that’s definitely worth it!

You’ll get your fill of rocks and viewpoints.

If your legs are already aching in Oybin, one of the adults has to go and fetch the car. We made it more fun for the kids by having them ride the local historic narrow-gauge railway with their mum, while I went for the car and picked them up in Bertsdorf so they could enjoy the ride.

Penken

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

The Penkenbahn cable car runs from the small town of Mayrhofen. Parking is at the Ahorn cable car, which is just a short walk away.

At the top station there is a playground with climbing frames and a water playground. Older kids can rent electric motocross bikes here.

A gentle climb along the ridge takes you to the top station of the Finkenberg cable car, the Pepis Kinderland playground and a lake with the architecturally interesting Granatkapelle chapel. The route is also suitable for pushchairs.

Pepis Kinderland

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A really big playground at the top of the Finkenberger Almbahnen cable car. A giant statue of Pepi the bear with slides and climbing frames. Trampolines, a sandpit, swings and an extensive obstacle course.

Popova skála

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A climb up to a summit with a view. Parking is right next to a playground.

Prachov Rocks

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A trip to this well-known rock town is best enjoyed outside the season without the crowds of tourists, with free parking and perhaps even with autumn colours, as we managed to do.

Pravčická brána

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

Pravčická brána is the symbol of Bohemian Switzerland, so it would be a shame to skip it during your visit.

If you don’t want to walk unnecessary kilometres along the road in Hřensko, I recommend parking in the car park in Mezní Louka and taking the bus with the kids from there to the Tři Prameny junction (stop Hřensko, Pravčická brána) or the Hřensko Express.

Then all that’s left is to head up to Pravčická brána – the path is pleasant and could be done with a sportier pushchair, but the viewpoints above Pravčická brána are definitely not pushchair territory.

Příbram Mining Museum

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

The museum offers several tours that are suitable for children too. Kids can try a ride on the underground mine train or learn the difference between an adit and a shaft.

Přimda

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A short trip to what is said to be the oldest stone castle in our country.

Radyně

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A hill with a well-preserved castle ruin not far from Plzeň.

There’s a view of the surroundings from the tower.

You can drive all the way to the top and the walk then leads around the rocks surrounding the castle.

We can recommend the local restaurant.

Restaurant in the glassworks

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A stylish restaurant where you can watch glassblowers at work. The food is good and there’s a small kids’ corner outside too.

Rosenalm - Fichtenwelt

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

At the Rosenalm top station you will find the Fichtenschloss children’s park. This playground is five stars. They seem to have thought of everything here. What makes this playground exceptional is that they thought of the parents too. The seating is covered with canvas to provide shade. At 11 the barbecue is lit. If you have not brought anything to put on it, do not despair. Next to it there is a vending machine where you can buy something to grill. Besides food, also things like plates.

Rozpuklá skála

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

At the edge of the forest there’s a fairly large area where you can park the car.

A relaxed walk along a forest road which, apart from the detour to the rocks and the spring, can be done even with a (regular) pushchair.

It’s only a short way from the road to Rozpuklá skála itself, but I recommend walking up the little hill too and climbing to the rock blocks on the ridge. With care you can also squeeze through the crevice or scramble around Rozpuklá skála. That makes it at least a bit more adventurous.

Rubens Soap Workshop

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A natural herbal soap workshop in the village of Růžová. You’ll learn how and from what soaps are made, buy plenty of fragrant products, and in the workshops you and your kids can make your own soap or gift set.

Rudice sinkhole

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A walk past a windmill to a well-known karst formation. With a bit of luck you’ll come across grazing sheep or rock climbers on the way.

You go back the same way and the route takes you to the old Seč quarry. The colourful walls in places and the little lake at the bottom of the quarry are worth a look.

Parking by a small playground.

Rumcajs Cave

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

The trail starts with a steep climb up to the summit of Brada. Your reward is a view of Jičín. Just a short way downhill and the kids will be thrilled by Rumcajs Cave.

The green-marked trail then climbs to the prominent rocky summit of Přivýšina. On the way back you come across the Cimrman fire pit, which Cimrmanologists in particular are sure to appreciate.

Rumcajs's World

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

At the castle in Jičín you can visit an exhibition dedicated to the outlaw Rumcajs. It consists of interactive models with movable parts.

Note! Due to the castle’s renovation, the exhibition is closed until 2025.

Růženka

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A beautiful modern lookout tower called Růženka on Pastevní vrch hill near the village of Růžová.

At first glance it looks a bit alien, but on closer inspection you’ll find that Růženka (Little Rose) didn’t get its name by chance – “wires” for climbing roses are stretched across the entire tower, and they are growing slowly but surely; in a few years Růženka will be here in all her beauty.

Ski jumps in Lomnice

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A short trip to an unconventional lookout tower. In Lomnice you can climb right up to the top of a ski jump, which offers a superb view of the Giant Mountains, among other things. The floorboards didn’t inspire much confidence during our visit, so hopefully someone will repair them soon.

The car park is right below the jumps.

You can either just climb the tower and walk back to the car, or walk with the kids to the nice playground in Lomnice and have one of the adults go back for the car, as we did.

Skiing with kids

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

With the lack of snow in recent winters, it is a fair question whether to teach kids to ski at all, but we love skiing, so we want to teach the kids too.

We left the first steps to the instructors. I think it was a good choice. The kids learned the proper basics, and they listened to strangers better than to us.

Even now we still occasionally hand them over to instructors to help them improve their technique. You can also find suitable exercises online that you can do with the kids.

Slatiňany

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

Slatiňany is home to a stud farm that is a branch of the one in Kladruby. The grounds are architecturally attractive too, and the tour is short enough for children to manage. If you’re lucky, you’ll also see the foals being let out.

You can walk through the stud farm to the chateau, which has a beautiful park with a playground.

Sloup v Čechách

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A loop that takes you through the rocks around Sloup v Čechách.

Right at the start you need to climb past the Rock Theatre up to the lookout tower. After that the profile is friendlier and the only bigger climb left is up to Samuel’s Cave.

The unusual rock castle with a statue of a hermit is worth a visit.

Solvay Quarries and Svatý Jan pod Skalou

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

The Solvay Quarries are an open-air museum of stone quarrying. Kids will love the ride on the little train. Visit their website for more information.

The route continues to a viewpoint above Svatý Jan pod Skalou and then plunges down into the village.

The route assumes you take the bus to Bubovice, which runs from Řevnice or Zličín. You need to plan your time so that you catch the bus from Svatý Jan pod Skalou, ideally to Beroun. Otherwise the trip gets considerably longer, whether you head to Srbsko or to Beroun.

Speicher Durlassboden playground

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A meadow on the lake shore with, above all, a big trampoline, but also swings.

Spieljochbahn

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

The biggest draw of the playground on the Spieljoch is definitely the little boats. Kids can sail them around the pond. You will also find other (not only) water attractions here, so bring the kids either swimwear or at least a change of clothes.

Spieljoch has a mining tradition, and the mine can even be visited. For kids there is also a themed mine maze where you can hear dripping water or falling rocks.

Sports trailer

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

Sports trailers are made by Thule or Croozer, for example. Buying one is an expensive affair, but if you want to do sport with small kids, it is almost essential. The trailer can be used for hiking, cycling, running and even cross-country skiing.

The advantage is that there are plenty of them second-hand, so you do not have to pay the price of a new one, and they do not lose much value.

Starý Herštejn

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A short trip to the remains of Herštejn Castle, whose tower has been converted into a lookout tower.

This route is not suitable even for all-terrain strollers. Tested for you.

Stumm swimming pool

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

Tachov

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

The route starts near the beautifully restored Světce Riding Hall, which I had no idea existed. A magnificent building that they managed to save.

The climb ends at a lookout tower whose chalice shape commemorates the famous Hussite victory. The nearby memorial serves the same purpose. At the top there is a children’s archaeological playground, and several games are painted on the path.

Teplice Rock Town

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A superb walk through a rock town. A bit more demanding for kids, because before the actual entrance to the rocks you need to overcome some elevation, and the path keeps climbing afterwards too.

Thank you

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

Thank you for your message, we will get back to you soon.

Through the valley of the Janovský stream

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A route through a pretty stream valley. Tip: bring rubber boots for the kids so they can wade. There are also lots of fallen trees across the stream. Use them as footbridges. The kids will be thrilled!

Tisá Rocks

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

The roughly 5-kilometre loop through the Tisá rocks is definitely worth it – you can enjoy the views, the rock formations and the climbers. If you set off early, I recommend parking in the car park by the Tisá tourist hut (Turistická chata Tisá). The car park holds about 20 cars and is free. At the end of the loop your reward will be lunch at the Tisá tourist hut.

Točník Castle

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

Točník Castle, which peeks out from its hilltop as you drive along the motorway from Plzeň to Prague, can be reached in other ways than driving right up to it.

This route starts in the village of Hředle and there’s a proper climb right at the beginning. But then the worst is behind you. Once you’ve conquered it, the path only descends gently from there.

Točník is especially interesting for kids thanks to the bears living in the castle moat.

Tolštejn Castle and Jedlová lookout tower

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

From the small car park below the castle you set off for the ruin of Tolštejn Castle. From there you continue towards the second-highest peak in the Děčín district, topped by the stone lookout tower Jedlová. Besides a restaurant, there is also a rope park next to the tower.

While you’re in this part of the world, I recommend a visit to the Kocour brewery in nearby Varnsdorf – besides beer they cook excellent food, and on the grounds the kids can see peacocks and other animals.

Tourist stickers (Wander Book)

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

Motivating kids to go on trips can sometimes be hard and calls for a reward. Such a reward can be a tourist sticker, which also gives them a souvenir of the place.

The stickers are glued into a diary, which you can order from the e-shop or buy at the places that sell the stickers themselves. A sticker costs around 12 Kč.

Each sticker set consists of the sticker itself, a barcode and a stub with a miniature. The barcode is glued into the back of the diary, and once the space runs out you send it to the sticker provider, who sends you a new diary.

Třemšín

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

The route starts from Roželov Chateau, where prominent church dignitaries were once imprisoned. You can park right next to it, or just after turning off the main road, from where it’s further to walk, but there’s a playground there.

On the way to the summit you pass the Třemšín Well, which has a legend about a treasure attached to it – and there’s also a cleverly hidden treasure in the form of a geocache that’s easy to find.

TuxWelten - Pflanzenwelt

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A relaxed walk through the valley where you learn something about the local flora. The path is also suitable for pushchairs. Part of the TuxWelten.

TuxWelten - Tierwelt

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A nice walk through the valley, also suitable for pushchairs, where you learn something about animals, especially insects. It is one of the TuxWelten.

The playgrounds are nicely themed, and you will find water play here too. What thrilled the kids most, though, were the little plaster gnome figures in the forest above Lanersbach near the start/end of the trail. So the bit of climbing needed to discover them is well worth it.

TuxWelten - Wasserwelt

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

Wasserwelt is honestly probably the least interesting of the TuxWelten trails. Mainly because it spends a long time skirting the giant car park below Hintertux. And some of the stops we never even found. The ones near the cable car, however, are worth a visit. Definitely go and see the waterfall, near which there is a treacherous swing and water squirters.

TuxWelten- NaturWelt

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

From the middle station of the Finkenberg Almbahnen you can set off to the little village of Vorderlanersbach along the NaturWelt trail, which is one of the parts of the TuxWelten.

The path is not suitable for pushchairs. Along the route there are several stops with information about the nature and the animals that live here. It descends along the hillside through alpine meadows and forests.

Take the bus back to the bottom station of the cable car.

Ústí nad Labem Zoo

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

Parking at the lower entrance in the small car park is, in my opinion, nearly impossible, so there’s nothing for it but to drive up to the upper car park, which is considerably bigger, and start the tour from the top so that you can warm up properly on the way back to the car.

A small zoo, but one with its own charm and certain species you might not come across in big zoos, such as seals, sun bears or sloths. Besides that, there’s a lovely walkway through the lemur enclosure.

Viewpoints above Rožmitál

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

This easy walk takes you to the memorial cairn of Jakub Jan Ryba (composer of the Czech Christmas Mass), who ended his life at this spot, and to nice viewpoints above Rožmitál pod Třemšínem.

Just be aware that the small car park can fill up early in season.

Viewpoints around Česká Kamenice

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

You can park the car by the swimming pool or on the town square.

A gentle climb brings you to the first stop, the Mlýnky Brand miniature park. It consists of replicas of buildings from Česká Kamenice set out along a little brook.

In front of the miniature park there is a children’s water playground, where every child will spend at least 30 minutes, and a pond with a hand-operated ferry.

Vlčí hora

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A hike up to a summit with a lookout tower. The volcanic rocks that make up the hill are full of magnetite, so don’t use a compass here 😎.

Parking is right next to the playground, and at the end you can visit the home of the natural cosmetics maker Nobilis. Besides a little shop and a café, there is also a beautiful garden with attractions for kids.

Vraní skála

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A short walk to a nice viewpoint. You can park in the small car park next to the cemetery.

The path is easy. Only the final stretch to the summit involves a steep climb, and towards the end you even get to touch some rock, which the kids will appreciate.

At the top the views are described in an interesting way, using labelled tubes that you look through to see the given landmark.

Zelená hora

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

The pilgrimage church on Zelená hora near Žďár nad Sázavou is a famous work of the Baroque architect Jan Blažej Santini-Aichel. The church is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

The route, however, first takes you along a very nice nature trail around the local pond. In places the path runs over wooden boardwalks.

Zillertal with kids

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 15:15:00 +0000

The Zillertal is an ideal destination for an active holiday with kids. With the Zillertal Active Card you can ride up a different cable car every day, and at its top station you will always find fun for the kids. If the mountains are in the clouds, you can head to one of the playgrounds in the valleys, or perhaps to the play room on the Ahorn. In hot weather, on the other hand, you can cool off in one of the outdoor pools.
