Mladé Buky – family experiences between water, trails, and nature

Mladé Buky is a destination for families who want to combine exercise, nature experiences, and different types of activities during one stay. This is particularly well illustrated by Hříčky Buky: the central play element is a water system made up of channels with mills, sluices, and pools. The expansive nature children’s leisure park covers almost four hectares. Its focus is therefore on a playful approach to water and nature in a spacious park setting.

Water, trails, and active experiences

Those who want to make their stay more active will find a family-friendly trail center at Bike Buky. It offers jump and flow trails; a lift takes visitors to the top. This clearly distinguishes the attraction from the water system at Hříčky Buky: here, the focus is not on free play around channels and pools, but on riding specially designed trails and taking the lift uphill.

Mladé Buky also offers clearly different options for a winter day. Ski Buky has wide and safe slopes for children, beginners, and snowboarders. There is also a specific access detail for the area: at Ski Buky, visitors can park for free directly at the boarding points for the cable car and lifts. This clearly describes the starting point for this winter sports area without equating it with the other attractions.

Bobovka Buky in different seasons

Bobovka Buky adds another distinctive feature. It is the longest summer toboggan run in the Krkonoše Mountains. In winter, Bobovka Buky can also be used in the evening under artificial lighting. These two features make the run an independent experience alongside the trail center and ski slopes: the toboggan run holds a special position in the Krkonoše Mountains and additionally offers the opportunity to ride under artificial lighting in winter.

Educational trails and a route to Slunečná stráň

For explorations with fixed stations, Mladé Buky offers several specific points of interest. The Čertovská stezka is approximately 500 meters long and has ten stations. The stated length is an approximation. The Čertovská stezka in the Mladé Buky leisure and sports area is also suitable for strollers. The educational trail at Pekelský vrch likewise has ten information stations. At Pekelský vrch, the focus is explicitly on information along the educational trail.

Another option is the route from Mladé Buky to the blooming Slunečná stráň. It can be started directly at the Church of St. Catherine or at the Mladé Buky railway stop. This provides two specific starting points for the route: the church and the railway stop.
