Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author

Sturdy footwear and some provisions are recommended, as some of the paths are unpaved and there are no dining options from the Belvedere to Hrensko (Herrnskretschen).

For refreshments along the route, the Dolni Grund guesthouse (directly at the ferry in Dolni Zleb) and the restaurant in the Belvedere Hotel in Hrensko are recommended. Additionally, you can also eat well and cheaply at the end of the route in Hrensko.
