Walking up the mountain, descending by scooter • Camping 2000

Camping 2000 is an ideal destination for nature lovers and active vacationers. In addition to relaxation at the camp itself, the surrounding area offers numerous opportunities to explore the nature of the Ještěd Mountains. One of the highlights of your stay is the hike to the iconic Ještěd Mountain, followed by an exciting scooter ride back to the campsite. In this blog, we share tips on this activity and other great hiking trails nearby.

The hike to the Ještěd summit

Ještěd Mountain, with its striking television tower towering over the hills like a modern icon, is a popular destination for hikers. The hike to the summit is an experience for the whole family. The trail starts just a few kilometers from Camping 2000 and is well marked with red-white-red signs that you will encounter on poles, trees and even houses.

The hike takes about 2.5 hours if you are walking with children, with the route being well trodden but requiring some effort because of the ascent to the top. Along the way you can enjoy the lush landscape, fresh mountain air, and beautiful views of Bohemian Paradise and the Lusatian Mountains. Don’t forget to stop every now and then and enjoy the peace that nature offers.

An adventurous descent by scooter

Once you reach the top of Ještěd, you can not only marvel at the 360-degree view, but also relax with a drink at the famous restaurant located in the television tower. But the adventure doesn’t stop there! After the climb, you can choose to take a scooter down the mountain – a unique experience you definitely don’t want to miss.

At the restaurant reception, you can rent a scooter for the descent. This is a fun and quick way to return to the campsite. The way down is doable for both adults and children and offers that extra bit of excitement. No need to worry about returning the scooter, as you can easily park it at the Camping 2000 reception. The rental company will pick up the scooters there later, making it extra easy.

Besides the hike to Ještěd, there are many more hiking possibilities in the area around Janův Důl. A useful tip is to download the app “Komoot” before you go on vacation.

The nearby city of Liberec also offers various hiking opportunities for people who want to combine nature with a visit to one of the cozy city cafes or museums.

Practical tips for a carefree trip

To make the most of your hiking or scooter adventure, it is useful to take a few things with you:

  • Sturdy walking shoes for the trip to Ještěd, as some parts of the trail can be a bit rocky.
  • Water and snacks are important, especially if you are traveling with children.
  • A windbreaker won’t hurt either, as the weather in the mountains can change quickly.
  • Don’t forget to keep your phone with the Komoot app handy to easily follow routes and navigate along the way.
