Harrachov, a demanded winter sports centre, has things to offer to its active visitors during the rest of the year as well. For a lot of up-to-date information regarding the opportunities to spend leisure time and the accommodation see the well-arranged information server of the city of Harrachov.
Apart from hiking or bicycle trips to see the beauties of the Giant Mountains, starting from this year the active tourists also have, among other things, the opportunity to try the zero gravity or climbing wall right in the centre of Harrachov. These non-traditional activities are offered in Vertical park Harrachov, situated right in the city centre. Bold visitors can experience the zero gravity thanks to the giant swing called Big Swing. The climbing wall is partly sheltered and may thus become an alternative in the event of adverse weather. Young sportsmen will be certainly keen to try high jumps and safe somersaults on bungee trampoline. The premise is run by the company Classic Outdoor s.r.o. specialising in outdoor programs for companies, schools and individuals in the region of Western Giant Mts.
The company has run a Ropes Course since 2003 already. Offering unusual experiences for active visitors to the region, this unconventional premise is situated approx. 3 km from Harrachov. The Ropes Course programs are intended mainly for groups (schools, companies, families). The premise is situated at the confluence of the Mumlava and Jizera rivers in wonderful environment of Giant Mts. National Park. Therefore, the place is ideal for an extraordinary company “teambuilding” or getting to know the buds “co-operating on the other end of the rope”.
Additional interesting “outdoor” activities in Harrachov include archery and mountain bike trips. For complete outdoor offer see the company web pages at Vertical park.
Further, the city of Harrachov offers many other tourist and cultural interests. Ski-jumps with their “Mammoth” in the head are certainly the dominant of this centre. You can check the steepness of “Mammoth” during your cableway trip to Čertova hora (Devil’s Mountain) 1021m high. From the mountain top you will have a wonderful view of the city and when the weather is clear, you will certainly not miss the distant cone top of Ještěd Mt.
Additional places, the visit to which you should not omit, certainly include the Mumlava waterfall with crystal-clear water of the Mumlava river rising at the mountain tops. Out of cultural opportunities, Harrachov offers a visit to the famous glass factory, local brewery and Giant Mt. Museum Šindelka. For many additional tourist, nature and culture tips see the offer of the information server of the city of Harrachov.
