Intersection of the Main Cycle Trails, the Elbe Trail, and the Jizera–Jeseniky Trail
Vrchlabi is the starting point of cycle trails to the entire Krkonose as well as the foothills. Ascending the hills will be easier if you take the cyclobuses and the cable car to Zaly, which can also transport bikes. The information centre will be glad to assist you with tips for cycle trips not only in the mountains but also on the local cycle trails. However, with Vrchlabi’s location, it isn’t easy to avoid hilly terrain, except when going down the Labska (Elbe) Cycle Trail along the river.
