Big gift on cross-country skis

Velké Dářko is the largest body of water in the Vysočina region from which the Sázava River springs. It is located on Žďárské vrchy at an altitude of over 600 meters above sea level. Here is a paradise for cross-country skiers in winter. There are many hiking trails from easy to harder with a higher elevation gain. Today we set out on a basic circuit suitable for even the smallest. We stopped in Karlov and got on the trail there, but I would choose a more comfortable choice to turn to Škarlovice to Velké Dářko where you can stop at Velký Dářek. The snow here near Charles was up to 10 cm. It was really on the edge for the ride. But as we got to Velká Dářko and especially to the forests, there was 15–20 cm and a beautiful trail, so we could really ride and enjoy. After 7 km we reached Radostín, where there is a beautiful hunting pub. Although in the village the prices of food a little higher, but the portions very nice. From here we finished the circuit to Karlov again, here it was after 2 km with snow on the edge. So if it doesn't happen by the weekend, I probably wouldn't come here. He certainly didn't go around Charles, but Velké Dářko did.

This is our circuit

Not far from Charles we get to the cross-country ski signpost
