They been there:

Rýchory is the easternmost part of the Giant Mountains. They are also the lowest and probably the least visited part of the mountain range. That makes it even more pleasant to wander around the beautiful meadows with a view of Sněžka or Vraní hory. The circuit described here is about 28 kilometers long, and you can walk practically the whole of Rýchory.

From Svoboda nad Úpou to the ridge

The ideal starting point for this round trip is Svoboda na Úpou. From there, you will immediately face the biggest climb up to Rýhorská bouda. From there we will go over the highest point of Rýhor – Dvorský les to the beautiful view of Sněžná domka.

Svoboda nad Úpou hike - Rychory

To the easternmost part of the Giant Mountains

Altitude: 650 m / 2 133 ft

Rýchory is the easternmost part of the Krkonoše mountains with the highest peak Dvorský les. One of the good starting points for exploring this relatively deserted corner of the Giant Mountains is the small town of Svoboda nad Úpou. From there, it is approximately 6 kilometers and 500 meters in height to the main ridge of the mountain range continue reading

Hike through Dvorský les

Over the highest place Rychor

Altitude: 1 035 m / 3 396 ft

The highest peak of Rýhor (the easternmost part of the Giant Mountains) is the flat peak of Dvorský les (1,036m). The peak itself has no view, but it attracts photographers because of the unique beech forest with variously twisted trees. If you're here in the fog, you'll feel like you're in a fairytale landscape. In addition, you will also find here a part of the military fortifications built before the Second World War. To the east of the summit you will find a beautiful meadow with views – Sněžné domky continue reading

Peak hike through the meadows of the Eastern Giant Mountains

The second stage of the hike is very beautiful, we will go through the meadows in the direction of Albeřice with beautiful views. Then there is a shorter ascent to Lysečinská bouda and a long descent through Horní Maršov back to Svoboda nad Úpou

Hike Rýchory - Horní Albeřice - Lysečiny

A beautiful hike through the Krkonoše meadows

Altitude: 770 m / 2 526 ft

The hike from Rýhor through Horní Albeřice to Lysečin leads through a picturesque landscape full of meadows with lots of views. You will go in the easternmost part of the Giant Mountains on the border with Poland. Compared to other parts of the mountain range, there are significantly fewer visitors here, which is nice. The described section is approximately 7 kilometers long with an ascent and descent of approximately 200 meters continue reading

6.
Hike Lysečinská bouda - Svoboda nad Úpou

Connection of the Úpa valley with the peaks of the Eastern Giant Mountains

Altitude: 966 m / 3 169 ft

If you want to descend from the peaks of the Eastern Krkonoše (or, on the contrary, climb them), the blue tourist route leading from Horní Maršov to Lysečinská bouda is quite practical. If you need to continue to Svoboda nad Úpou, then part of the journey leads along the busy road leading to Peca pod Sněžkou (fortunately, there is a wide sidewalk) continue reading
