detailed map
From Lanov by Vrchlabi this tour is the fastest way to the mountain of Cerna hora and the northward mountain range towards the highest mountain. The tour is very demanding and you should be in excellent physical condition. You will bike on tarred and gravel paths. The ascent to the mountain range from „Bönischovy boudy“ is very steep and full of stones. If you are not very well trained, we recommend to push your bike for the few hundred meters. The last ascent on the top of Cerna hora and the trail to Sosna farm are technically a bit difficult but even with only a good trekking bike you should make it without problems. You will have a stunning view of the Krkonose Mountains once you leave „Bönischovy boudy“. On this trail you will also see the highest mountain of the Czech Republic „Snezka“ and other mountain ranges. The Sosna Farm is a small milk farm that offers products from their own production. You may, for example, enjoy delicious bread with cottage cheese and yoghurt. For the return way you may want to take the cyclobus that has a bus stop in Velka Úpa in Pec pod Snezkou on the town square.
The tour starts in Lanov on the parking lot of the Hotel Harmonie. From ther you head in the direction to Trutnov. On the big crossroads in Lanov turn left towards Cerny Dul. In Horni Lanov turn right. After about 300m turn right onto a forest trail. Continue for about 3km then turn left and after 250m keep right. Take the serpentines to the „Bönischovy boudy“ lodge. Follow the yellow marking past the lodge, and follow a steep hill climb to the hill of Jeleni vrch. Stay with the yellow marking, turn left and follow the trail past the buildings of the „Tetrevi boudy“. Now turn right. After about 1,3km turn right towards „Bouda Mir“ lodge. Once you passed the „Mir“ follow the red marking, past the „Babi bouda“ lodge and the „Chata Helena“ lodge. Keep following the red marking uphill to „Cerna hora“ mountain. From the Cerna hora back to „Vaclavak“ (small wooden bridge) and turn right. Follow the ascent to the look-out point of „Hubertova vyhlidka“. On the crossroads called "Peticesti" turn sharp left and follow the trail called „Thamova cesta“ down to the mountain milk farm „Sosna“. From the Sosna farm follow the yellow marking that will take you to Velka Úpa, wher you will find the bus stop of the cyclobus.
