The ones, who are not found of long walking tours, can have a walk in the forest, combined for example with picking mushrooms.

Hiking

Thanks to the diversity of landscapes the Czech Republic offers ideal conditions for walking tours. An unusual rich network of well-marked footpaths evenly covers the whole territory and disables to lose one’s way even in the remote areas of the country. Among the most popular tourist regions is Krkonoše. Walking tours fans should not miss the romantic sandstone rock “towns” in Český Ráj (Czech Paradise). Many of the marked footpaths run through the areas near the borders. Many of them cross the borders and continue in the neighbouring countries. Malý Ráy can organize a nice hiking arrangement for you. We can combine this with overnight in the open air, or navigation course.

Paragliding/hang-gliding

The beauty and variability of the Czech landscape can be seen not only from the ground, but also from the bird’s-eye view, from the board of a tourist airplane or from a balloon. The view of mountain massifs, lowlands, mirrors of water areas, the green of woods alternating picturesque villages and towns with old castles and chateaus is the best from the “bird’s perspectives”.
