Benecko: Winter Sports, Family Trails and Nature Experiences

Benecko between Winter Sports and Nature Experiences

Benecko combines winter sports, family-friendly trails and nature experiences with special insights into the history of the Krkonoše Mountains. In winter, varied slopes, children's ski parks and other offerings at Skiareál Benecko take centre stage. On warmer days, there is a family trail just under 4 km long, a nature education trail, cycling routes and horse rides in the surrounding area. This allows you to plan your trip according to your preferred pace and choose between active, playful and cultural experiences.

Winter Sports with Offers for Families

Skiareál Benecko offers varied slopes, a snow park and three children's ski parks: Havrland, Family aréna and Kejnos. The facilities also include three snow tubing tracks, a cross-country ski trail and tobogganing opportunities. Benecko's winter sports history includes a hut acquired by the Český SKI klub, which became the starting point for ski trips throughout the Krkonoše Mountains. Thus, alongside today's winter sports, there is also a concrete historical connection to the development of skiing in the village.

Family Trails and Knowledge of Nature

The Lufťákova stezka begins and ends at the car park. It is a family trail just under 4 km long, with 12 stations, puzzles and unusual tasks. The search for the largest dwarf in the world extends the route by 1.5 km. With a pram, only the original section along the asphalt path is suitable. In addition, the Benecká přírodní stezka follows municipal and forest paths. Playfully designed stations convey interesting facts about the rare nature of the Krkonoše Mountains, including mushrooms, animal tracks and the language of hunters.

Views, Tradition and Special Experiences

The Chapel of Saint Hubertus stands near Jindrova skála, from where there are views of the mountains. The traditional Benecká pouť pilgrimage also takes place at this chapel. Another destination is the 3D Bludiště near the mountain station of the Kejnos cable car. Most of the obstacles there can be bypassed via a fixed walkway. This makes the visit an experience in its own right without limiting the facility to a single type of use.

Cycling and Horse Rides around Benecko

Benecko has cycling routes for different ability levels, as well as a well-maintained singletrack and a nature trail. In the area around Benecko, Farma Hucul offers horse rides at the farm and out in the countryside.
