Cross-country trails
Cross-country skiing trails in and around Kořenov

There are maps with numbers on all these cross-country skiing trails (format A3 on less important places, format A0 on most important places). The map always includes the point where you are. If necessary it is possible to call Mountain rescue according to the map number.
Around Hvězda and around White Rock (Bílá skála) – this is a part of the project „Giant Mountains cross-country route (Krkonoše – lyžařský běžecký ráj)“: This system of groomed cross-country skiing trails consists of an external and an internal circuit.
External circuit
The external circuit starts in Vystrkov - map No. 1/A3 (appox. 500 metres from the restaurant „Na Perličku“) and in follows the trail No. 19 from Vysoké nad Jizerou. It continues towards the upper lift station of ski lifts in Paseky nad Jizerou - map No. 2/A0, be careful, there is a danger of collision with the skiers on the pistes, the trail is mostly slightly damaged in the next part to Bosna – map No. 3/A0 (approx. 0.7 km, anyway it is a moderate downhill and it does actually not matter) – crossing to Havírna (keep left here) – you have come to the interconnection of both circuits – map No. 13/A3 – approach Vyhlídka in Kořenov after another 3 kilometres – map No. 16/A3 – lodge U Zvonku – map No. 17/A3 – go up the hill Hvězda – map No. 9/A3 – where you approach the starting point for those who set off by Hvězda lodge– map No. 10/A0 – go down towards Rejdice, there is the next map No. 5/A3 the crossing over Pašerák and after 200 metres you are back on the starting point – Vystrkov.
Internal circuit
The internal circuit starts by the map No. 10/A0 which is about 100 metres from the Hvězda lodge– it continues together with the external circuit to the crossing over Pašerák – map No. 5/A3, turn left here to come to the interconnection of both circuits – map No. 6/A3 – continue to the next crossing – map No. 12/A3 (if you go straight ahead up the hill you shorten the trip by approx. 2 kilometres) – continue on the right hand side up to the map No. 15/A3 (there is the next opportunity here to turn left and go around the hill Kapradník from the left side – than both trails come together again) – continue straight ahead to Tetřeví bouda (do not look for it as it was destroyed in 2012) – map No. 14/A3 – we come along „ Long way (Dlouhá cesta)“ to map No. 11/A3, this is a starting point for a one-kilometre long trip left to White Rock (Bílá Skála) – if the weather is wonderful it is strongly recommend not to exclude this round, the views are worth going there – continue from the map No. 11 approx. 1 kilometre to get back to Hvězda lodge.
