Through Rokytnice region in half a day

The route is long cca 16 kilometres. From Upper /Horní/ Rokytnice we set on foot from hotel Modrá hvězda /Blue star hotel/ on the main road past the football field toward Rokytno where we will pass by several charming wooden chalets. From the main road we will turn off leftwards accross the stream on the blue tourist route and we slightly mount up past the cottage Tereza through the forest toward Huť´s waterfall /iron-mill waterfall/ where we can take a pleasant break before subsequent steep rise toward saddle under Dvoračky where we will join on yellow and red routes.
From here the cottage Dvoračky is within eyeshot and only a straight stretch through blooming mountain meadows and tip of the forest remains to mount up.
In the cottage we will fresh up and taste local home-made specialties. Afterwards we will feast eyes on the beatiful wide view of Jizersky mountain and Ještěd over Vysocko and Český ráj /Czech paradise/ up to Zvičina and Žalý. From Dvoračky we are coming back first 1 kilometer by the same way to the saddle, further we continue
from crossroad straight on red tourist line - the way is called Jablonec way. We pass the forest nursery and are descending through protracted west hill-side of Wolf´s edge /Vlčí hřeben/ and on the edge of Františkov we descend shortly rightwards down the road which is leading from Rezek to Rokytno.
Then we turn leftwards on the red-marked tourist line, further we continue past the forest to the saddle of Sachr´s peak where we will have a rest and take a beautiful view on Rokytnice nad Jizerou /Rokytnice upon Jizera/. By taking a walk through nice forest way underneath "Sachrak" we will get straight on the crossroad of the tourist´s lines /red, yellow, toward Františkov, toward Horní Rokytnice nad Jizerou /Upper Rokytnice upon Jizera/.

We will continue 1 kilometer along the red line and by the rightwards turning we will get through evergreen forest to the outlook from where we can see again whole valley of Rokytnice which is closed by massif of Kotel and Lysá hora.
We will retrace our steps toward the crossroad and continue on the yellow line down the fieldpath toward crossroad´ in Horní ves. From here we will follow the blue line rightwards and this line will lead us back to hotel Modrá hvězda /Blue star hotel/ in Horní Rokytnice /Upper Rokytnice/.
