Spring, summer or early autumn is the ideal time to introduce children to the mountains and infect them with a passion for hiking at altitude. When we want to take a break from the hustle and bustle of civilisation, it is worth packing our rucksacks and planning a family trip to the Sudetes. But which trails to choose so that the little ones can cope with them? Where will you find additional attractions? Where to take a pushchair? We have a short guide for you, where to go to the mountains with children near Wrocław.

Where to go in the mountains with your child? We suggest what to look out for

When going to the mountains with children, we need to pay attention to several issues. Firstly, of course, it will be the elevation, distance, rockiness, possible climbing passages or, in the case of the youngest ones, the type of ground and the possibility of a pushchair ride. Of course, it is very important to pack according to the conditions and the weather. In addition, when planning a trip to the mountains with a child, we must remember to include snacks, drinks and, of course, a first-aid kit, which, although it should be a permanent item of equipment in a mountain rucksack, is still often overlooked. For more on this topic, see the article: What to take on holiday with your child? List of essentials.

Once you have decided where you want to go with your children in the mountains and planned a suitable route, remember to verify the possibility of turning back from the chosen path in case of great fatigue or bad weather. We need to remember that children not only tire more quickly, but also need breaks more often - both to rest and to play or bushwhack in the raspberry, blackberry or blueberry bushes that can often be found along mountain trails.

Where to go in the mountains with children? Trails for the youngest

A trip to the mountains with children should be fun for the whole family. So remember to choose the right routes depending on the age of your child and your own condition. Some young explorers will do well on more difficult trails, while for others it is better to choose quieter routes. If you are not sure of your children's abilities or if you have not been in the mountains for a long time, you should opt for something less ambitious, but equally scenic.

Where is the best place to go in the mountains with a young child? If your child still rides in a pushchair or you are going on a family bicycle tour, there is no shortage of excellent trails, especially in the Krkonoše and Jizera Mountains. For those going to Szklarska Poręba, we recommend the route to the Szklarki waterfall - it is accessible for pushchairs and the views are well worth it.

A great answer to the question of where to go on holiday with a child in the mountains is also the Jizera Mountains. The not-too-steep paths, nicely prepared trails from Świeradów and the availability of a gondola into which a pram can be pushed make it one of the best options. We also recommend the area around the chalets - Stog Izerski and Chata Górzystów.

If you want to feel a more Karkonosze-like atmosphere with your young explorers, take the path under the algae from Szklarska Poręba. This route is considered one of the most beautiful trails in the Giant Mountains. There we will meet rock giants, fauna and flora characteristic for this area, and beautiful panoramas. If the weather is good, an unforgettable family trip awaits!

When considering where to go for a weekend in the mountains with children, it is worth taking the direction of Karpacz. If you are a beginner, a trip to Samotnia, Pielgrzymy, Kopa or even Śnieżka is a great idea. Excellent trails for the beginning of a mountain adventure can also be found in the Table Mountains - Szczeliniec with a beautiful view and a mountain hostel on top, Skalne Grzyby or the Błędne Skały labyrinth.

Where to go in the mountains with a young child? Attractions for toddlers

When asking yourself where to go in the mountains with young children, it is also a good idea to plan for time away from hiking or in case the weather turns bad. Nobody likes to get wet, and such extreme trips for the first time can effectively discourage kids from exploring the mountain trails further.

The Giant Mountains will be an excellent choice in this case. If the weather is unfavourable, we can swap the beautiful trails for exploring other local attractions. We encourage you to visit the Dinosaur Park in Szklarska Poręba. Here you can learn about species that once lived on Earth, watch the 6D cinema or take a ride on the Flinston train. If our children prefer more active entertainment, we can also find rope parks in Karpacz and Szklarska Poręba. This is great fun for the whole family.

A ride on the chairlift to Szrenica or by gondola to Stóg Izerski can also be excellent entertainment. In good weather, you can walk back down and combine two activities in one trip.

When choosing a holiday with children in the Jizera Mountains or the Giant Mountains, it is also worth visiting the capital of Lower Silesia. It will be a great idea to diversify your family holidays and visit the attractions of this beautiful city. Wrocław can also be an excellent starting point for excursions to closer ranges - the Bardzkie Mountains, the Rudawy Janowickie or the Owl Mountains. Such day trips to the different Sudeten ranges can be even more interesting for children.

With guests travelling with children in mind, we at Europeum have prepared a special offer. It is an ideal hotel for families with children in Wrocław, located in the very centre of the city, providing trouble-free access to many attractions. So if you're still wondering where to go with your children in the mountains during the holidays or at any other time of the year, our answer is: choose Lower Silesia!
