Across the border Here the border is a footpath along the ridge. By car you are in Czechia in twenty minutes – normally without checks, but do carry your ID. Javorník about 16 km Over the pass beyond Lutynia (a narrow, winding road; vehicles up to 3.5 t) you roll down into the little town below Jánský Vrch castle, once the summer residence of the prince-bishops of Wrocław. Tours of the furnished rooms; the pipe collection is famous. 18 Rychlebské stezky the Rychleby Trails about 35 km Černá Voda is the start of one of Czechia’s best-known trail areas – for mountain bikers, a destination in itself. Jeseník about 46 km Above the town lies the spa where Vincenz Priessnitz founded, in 1822, what is regarded as the world’s first hydrotherapy institute. A colonnade with views of the Jeseníky mountains and woodland paths from spring to spring: a spa quite unlike the Silesian ones. Dolní Morava about 70 km On the southern slopes of Śnieżnik hangs Sky Bridge 721: a pedestrian suspension bridge 721 metres long, up to 95 metres above the valley. Next to it, the wooden Sky Walk with its slide. Buy tickets online in advance; at weekends, arrive early. 19 Náchod and Nové Město nad Metují about 65–75 km Just beyond Kudowa-Zdrój: a Renaissance castle above the town and, ten minutes further on, one of the loveliest market squares in Bohemia. Adršpach about 90 km The rock city of Adršpach and Teplice is the big sister of Błędne Skały: sandstone towers, gorges, an emerald lake. A full day out; in season, reserve parking online. 20 Good to know The currency is the Czech koruna; cards are accepted almost everywhere. You do not need a motorway vignette for the places in this guide. The drink-drive limit in Czechia is zero. On the ridge The border ridge of the Golden Mountains is one long trail: from Borówkowa you look out over both countries at once. 10 Kłodzko Land, a compact travel guide
