Šumava is a paradise for cyclists. To list only one cycle route here would be an insult to all other Šumava cycle routes. They are all wonderful and none of them will disappoint you. They are nicely prepared here: www.cestujemesumavou.cz/cykloturistika.
If we can recommend something really close, then a trip around Boubin.
Route with more variations. From the restaurant you can see the Bazum ridge in good and bad visibility. There are two paths on its western side about 200 metres apart, the upper one is called the Basum path on the map, we who know the area call it the upper Basum path (with the local accent it is a beautiful word combination), the lower path is called the lower Basum path. It's up to you which one you choose. The upper Bazum road is more attractive with views and a few infotables of the Forestry Nature Trail, while the lower one is more friendly to lazier guests.
Both paths meet behind Jilmova skala and connect to the Lukenská cesta. Follow it (marked with a blue hiking trail) onwards towards the forest, passing the tributary of the Kaplice stream, the quarry in front of Owl Rock with a resting place and plunging into the dark, dense forest. Less than 200 metres from the above-mentioned quarry, turn slightly left off the blue hiking trail and after less than a kilometre turn left again, where a beautiful hike up a winding path, the so-called zubačka, lined with stone drifts awaits you. You can skip this turn-off and continue to the forest, where you can follow the green hiking trail along the fence to the Hunting Chateau and from there on to the Na Křížkách crossroads, but it is certainly a nice diversion.
If you choose it, after a hike along the winding path you will be full of pleasant feelings and reach the Bázumská hut, the highest (inhabitable) building on Boubin. From here, you will follow the forest path, which will lead you to the Na Křížkách crossroads, just like the variant without Zubačka. From there, go downhill past the game preserve to the crossroads Pod Včelenským vrchem, where you turn left and at the next crossroads keep left again. The Kubohuťská road, which you will be on at that moment, will lead you safely back to Kubovka.
This is one of the many options of trips around Kubovka, as destinations a bit away from the sometimes touristic "over-visited" places we can recommend Lipka in combination with the train, or the region to the east of Boubin, where you can explore villages such as Řepešín, Saladín, Kratušín or Drslavice with its beautiful fortress next to the Blanice valley. You can also combine the trip with swimming in the Křišt'anovice pond, where almost no one has ever drowned.
We will be happy to recommend other destinations for your cycling trips at the reception. Luftians often ask for example about the Vltava springs, the Schwarzenberg Canal or the recreational path from Stožec to Nová Pec. Lufti women ask for the number of the handsome Mr. Chief.
As well as cycling, walking or in combination with a train or car can be done around
Kubovka you can visit many beauties of nature. Again, we select just a few types with
with the understanding that we will be happy to talk to you about other destinations over the map at reception.
A little bit before Srni (or after Srni, depending on where you are coming from) you will find the Visitor Centre of the Šumava National Park and its exposition about the life of beasts with sound recordings and films. But the best is waiting for you outside. A marked wolf trail leads from the visitor centre to the enclosure, where you can see the wolf family with your own eyes. For more information on opening times and the grounds, visit
www.npsumava.cz/cz/5802/sekce/navstevnicke-centrum-srni/.
All accommodation guests can use our indoor heated swimming pool, which is available from 10:00 - 22:00 h. It has a very pleasant temperature of 27 °C. It is the ideal place to let your tired muscles regenerate after a day of skiing or cross-country skiing in Šumava. The pool is 1.5 metres deep, suitable for both small tadpoles and predatory pike. It is 30 metres long, if you swim around the perimeter, so even demanding swimmers will find it to their liking.
A permanent feature of the tourist sky is the lookout tower on Boubíně. Boubín rises to a height of 1362 metres above sea level. It is an inseparable symbol of Šumava, not only by its shape and height, which make it recognizable from great distances, but also by the forest that grows on its slopes. The Šumava National Park and Protected Landscape Area has prepared the BOUBÍNSKÝ PRALES hiking trail.
You can also hike the world's longest treetop trail - the Baumwipfelpfad in Neuschönau in the Bavarian Forest National Park. The trail is 1320 m long and 44 m high. Dreamy views await you along almost the entire length of the trail, and from the highest point on the "tree tower" you can even see the northern ridge of the Alps on clear and fine days. Simply a fairy tale.
Refreshing bathing at any time of the year. The salty water is refreshingly pleasant on the skin. Sauna bathing to work up a good sweat, sports or fitness swimming. The Karoli Water Park with its well-equipped mediterraneum invites you to visit in summer and winter.
Right in Kubovo Hut you can rent mountain scooters and enjoy a ride through the open countryside on paved forest paths along the slopes of Boubín to Boubínský prales, along the valley of Pravětínský brook to Vimperk, around Světlohorská reservoir to Lipka or along Račí brook to Vltava. Or you can also ride it to the Pod Obrovcem ski slope.
Try the disc golf course, which is right next to the hotel. It's great fun for families and couples. Don't you know what disc golf is? Here's an explanation. The aim of the game is to hit the flying saucer at the targets (holes) with as few throws as possible. So come and try this sport!
