Discover Skuchrow

Skuchrow combines impressive distant views with visible traces of regional history and paths through a varied landscape. Particularly appealing is the interplay between viewpoints, the villages of Skuhrov and Huntířov, and the natural and cultural areas on the edge of the municipality. If you are planning a trip with children, you will find both peaceful opportunities for discovery and active trails and winter routes.

History between Skuhrov and Huntířov

In the upper part of Skuhrov stands the Špýchar granary. Today, only a corner section of the surrounding walls remains visible. The granary was built in 1832 as a grain store and was intended to help prevent shortages. The surviving wall therefore not only marks a historic site, but also points to the former importance of storing supplies.

In the lower part of Huntířov, below the fire pond, stands the Chapel of Saint Vojtěch. Its construction was a prerequisite for the village’s first pilgrimage. Huntířov’s more recent history is also present: the first glass pressworks were established there in 1865, and the Tyl theater association was founded in 1889. Thus, in Skuchrow you encounter several different facets of local development – from the granary and pilgrimage to glassmaking and community life.

Viewpoints overlooking the mountain landscape

The southern part of the municipality extends into Maloskalsko Nature Park. In addition, a small peripheral area of the Český ráj UNESCO Geopark extends into the municipality of Skuhrov. These two protected and recreational areas shape the landscape setting without reducing Skuchrow to just a single attraction.

Several places on the northern side of Skuhrov offer distant views of the Giant Mountains, part of the Jizera Mountains, Ještěd and Kozákov. A well-maintained viewpoint above Skuhrov also looks out towards Kozákov, Maloskalsko, Sokol and the Kopanina ridge. Near the Kříž towards Skuhrov, there is a covered seating area, an information board about the municipality and information panels describing the viewpoint. Play elements for children make this place interesting for a shared break, even when people have different interests.

Hiking and cross-country skiing on circular routes

For active days, a circular route with viewpoint benches passes several prominent points: Jerdovka above Huntířov, Alšovská Road below the cemetery in Skuhrov, Nácův Hill below the water tower in Skuhrov and Skřib in Huntířov. The route thus connects viewpoints and landmarks from both villages.

In winter, Skuhrov’s groomed cross-country ski trail network adds to the range of activities. It forms a circular route through the municipality and branches off via Hamrštice in Pěnčín towards Kopanina, Dupanda in Alšovice and Černá Studnice. For getting there, the municipal transport information lists bus route 530842 between Jablonec nad Nisou, Skuhrov, Huntířov and Železný Brod. This allows Skuchrow’s scenic, cultural and sporting attractions to be viewed as different focuses of a trip.
