The area around the lake is ideal for a picnic; you&#8217;ll even find picnic tables right by the water.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Along the way, you&#8217;ll also see the place where the village of Star\u00e1 H\u016frka once stood. <strong>Today, only a chapel stands here, commemorating the victims of the communist regime, and the foundations of a former glassworks.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3nOaTd7HDUo\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Olsina_Educational_Trail_with_a_Stroller\"><\/span>Ol\u0161ina Educational Trail with a Stroller<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p>A lesser-known route is the Ol\u0161ina Educational Trail, where you&#8217;ll encounter typical \u0160umava nature: wetlands, bogs, and adjacent biotopes. <strong>This 7,322-meter-long route will take you approximately 2 to 2 and a half hours with a stroller.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>However, go on a good day; even though most of the trail follows boardwalks, some sections are through natural terrain and parts are permanently waterlogged. <strong>It&#8217;s passable with a stroller, but it&#8217;s not as easy as on an asphalt road. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>For my peace of mind, <strong>I recommend going here with a sports stroller, <\/strong>or if you&#8217;re not sure if you can manage it, check out the <strong>route video.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"12C3lPXVLYI\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Nau\u010dn\u00e1 stezka Ol\u0161ina\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/12C3lPXVLYI?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Velky_Javor_with_a_Stroller\"><\/span>Velk\u00fd Javor with a Stroller<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p>Velk\u00fd Javor, at 1456 m, is the highest mountain in \u0160umava and the Bavarian Forest, but you&#8217;ll find this peak already in Germany, even though it&#8217;s only 4 kilometers from our border. Why do I emphasize this?  <strong>If you&#8217;re going on your first trip abroad with a baby, you should remember that they need a travel document, such as a passport. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Park at the parking lot right by Velk\u00e9 Javorsk\u00e9 Lake; it will cost you 4 euros for the whole day, and you can pay both in cash and by card. We recommend arriving early, as the parking lot is often full later in the day. <\/p>\n\n<p>From the parking lot, we followed the green tourist trail; at first it&#8217;s a sandy-gravel path, then there are larger stones on the way. <strong>After a few kilometers, you&#8217;ll reach the Arberschutzhaus hut, where you can rest and use the toilets<\/strong>. Next to the hut, there&#8217;s also a glass observation tower in the shape of a cross, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. <\/p>\n\n<p>From the hut, you can continue along the green mark to the viewpoint at Bodenmaiser Riegel rock, where you&#8217;ll switch to red and can head to another viewpoint at Kleiner Seeriegel rock. Finally, you&#8217;ll return to the hut, and from there, you can go to the lake along the same green trail. <\/p>\n\n<p>Velk\u00e9 Javorsk\u00e9 Lake is truly beautiful, and an educational trail runs around it, which is wide enough and equipped with wooden boardwalks to be accessible even for strollers.<strong> If you get hungry, you can stop at the nearby Arberseehaus restaurant.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yksiDuhPTac\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Short_Stroller_Route_to_Kasperk_Castle\"><\/span>Short Stroller Route to Ka\u0161perk Castle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p><br\/>With a stroller, you can explore the highest royal castle in the Czech Republic, known mainly from the fairy tale &#8216;Angel of the Lord&#8217;. The path to Ka\u0161perk Castle starts at the parking lot, <strong>which is about 1.5 km from the castle,<\/strong> on the road from Ka\u0161persk\u00e9 Hory towards Nezdice.  <\/p>\n\n<p>From the parking lot, follow the green tourist trail. The first part of the route is on an asphalt road, then you have to continue on a forest path, and the final section might be more challenging for strollers, but it&#8217;s manageable with a little effort.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"qv7EhFNIpYQ\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u0160umavsk\u00fd hrad Ka\u0161perk\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qv7EhFNIpYQ?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"From_Horska_Kvilda_to_Antygl_with_a_Sports_Stroller\"><\/span>From Horsk\u00e1 Kvilda to Ant\u00fdgl with a Sports Stroller<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p>If you have a sports stroller and don&#8217;t mind a slightly longer route, you can set off from Horsk\u00e1 Kvilda to Ant\u00fdgl and to Turner&#8217;s Hut. <strong>This 14 km long route is slightly hilly, but even children on balance bikes can easily manage it. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>The starting point is Hotel Rankl in Horsk\u00e1 Kvilda, where you can also conveniently park. <strong>From there, follow the blue tourist trail, which leads along the Hamersk\u00fd Stream towards Ant\u00fdgl.<\/strong> The first section of the route starts with a steeper descent, but soon the terrain changes to a gentle downhill slope all the way to Ant\u00fdgl.<\/p>\n\n<p>The path follows a forest road, and what&#8217;s good is that bikes are not allowed here, so if you have dogs, you don&#8217;t have to worry. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Path to Turner&#8217;s Hut:<\/strong> From Ant\u00fdgl, the route continues along the Vydra River on a paved path. This section is completely flat and runs parallel to the Povyd\u0159\u00ed educational trail. <\/p>\n\n<p> At the Ant\u00fdgl &#8211; bridge crossroads, where the Hamersk\u00fd Stream joins the Vydra River, follow the red tourist trail to Turner&#8217;s Hut. Turner&#8217;s Hut is a stylish restaurant reminiscent of early 20th-century architecture; if you don&#8217;t have a snack with you, you can enjoy something good here.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Srni_and_the_Wolf_Enclosure\"><\/span>Srn\u00ed and the Wolf Enclosure<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p>The Srn\u00ed Visitor Center in \u0160umava is very popular among children, as you can combine your visit with wolf watching.<\/p>\n\n<p> Right next to the parking lot is the visitor center building, where you can see an exhibition focused on wolf life and observe what&#8217;s happening in the wolf enclosure via cameras. This allows you to see the wolves even when they are hiding in the enclosure. <\/p>\n\n<p> Part of the visitor center is <strong>an educational trail with a raised viewing platform, from where you can observe the wolves.<\/strong> The trail is short \u2013 just under 2 km \u2013 but part of the route goes uphill, which can be more challenging with a stroller. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>However, if you have dogs like us, you unfortunately have to leave them at home, as they are not allowed on the trail.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hauswald_Chapel\"><\/span>Hauswald Chapel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p><br\/>The spring near Hauswald Chapel, located near the village of Mechov by Srn\u00ed, is known for its healing properties. You can easily reach it with a stroller. The route starts in the aforementioned village of Mechov by Srn\u00ed, where you can still park for free.   <\/p>\n\n<p>From there, a short but steeper ascent awaits you to the hydroelectric power plant building. This is followed by <strong>a pleasant two-kilometer walk on an asphalt road that runs along the Vchynicko-Tetovsk\u00fd water canal.<\/strong> This historic water canal is still functional.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Although the original Hauswald Chapel no longer stands here, its foundations have been reconstructed as a memorial. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"i9AU2Swv06g\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Hauswaldsk\u00e1 kaple - Mal\u00e9 \u0161umavsk\u00e9 Lurdy | TIP NA V\u00ddLET\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/i9AU2Swv06g?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Where to go in \u0160umava with a stroller? \u0160umava with a stroller is absolutely amazing, check out our 17 tips on where to go. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":84532,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","rank_math_title":"","rank_math_description":"Where to go in \u0160umava with a stroller? \u0160umava with a stroller is absolutely amazing, check out our 17 tips on where to go.
