Does any one have recommendations for a week long hike in the Krkanose (Giant Mountains) in the Czech Republic?

Hi Zemos, welcome to the forum :) I am sorry that is all I reacted for because I have not even ever been to Czechoslovakia :blush: But, I still hope you will like the forum ;)

Krkonose (pronounced kirk o no sheh)in the Czech Republic (sorry natchez it hasn't been Czechoslovakia in since 1992) as legend states, the mountains are inhabited by a Giant, and all of the Inns and Pensions have little statues of him.
Anyway, I asked some of my Czech friends and they only go skiing there and haven't hiked there. The only info I have is for the High Tatras in Slovakia. I can search some of the Czech language sites if you are interested.

I'd be glad if you do that. I need to know if we could sleep there in a tent. I hope there's no prohibition of doing that (at least in some places).

this page has a link to back country camping and an e-mail address. Many czech's know english, so you should get an answer.

good luck and don't pack your fuel canisters on the plane.
