From Bedřichov to Nová Louka and Prezidentská

Set out from Bedřichov on a demanding hike that rewards the effort with several photo stops, a viewpoint and places to refuel. There is also a question about Nová Louka to keep your curiosity moving when your legs would rather negotiate a pause. Bedřichov was historically known by the German name Friedrichswald. Today it is a well-established summer base for walking and cycling in the Jizera Mountains, so beginning a trail here feels entirely fitting rather than accidental. Start at the marked paid car park. Early on, heed the warning for possible falling trees along one section. The first food detour accepts cash only; later, turn left downhill and continue towards another food stop at Prezidentská. Make time for the marked viewpoint and Mravenci stezka, with several photo prompts along the way—your camera gets breaks even if your calves do not. Near the end, the route includes a road crossing where you should cross carefully.
