We are leaving from Měděnec, a typical mountain town with important mining history. The town has preserved its Renaissance checkerboard-resembling ground layout with an oblong square. Behind the town we will find a former iron ore mine. If you are interested, you may take a trip down and examine the mine from the inside. Above the town you will see a viewing hill called Mědník with a chapel of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary, built in 1674. This landmark visible from a distance offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. From Měděnec we will follow the road and trail No. 36 towards "Boží Dar“ and „Klínovec“. We will be driving across slightly hilly countryside to the village of Horní Halže. Behind the village the road takes a right turn onto Kovařská street, but we are not going there. We will follow the red tourist sign along the Měděnecká road.

We are heading for the village ofHáje and small path alternately going up and down /2/ with not much traffic will take us there. While riding on this road we can enjoy beautiful views around us. Between the village Háj and the peak Klínovec we find series of ski slopes which together create the largest ski resort on the Czech side of Krušné mountains. If you decide to conquer the highest peak of the Krušné mountains - Klínovec, then you must turn left behind the hotel Nástup and follow the road towards "Neklid“, "Boží Dar“ and "Klínovec“. After 2 km of a steady climb /2 or 2-3 at some places/ we leave the road take a left turn towards Boží Dar and Klínovec. The total distance all the way to the top of Klínovec is 3.5 km. After we refresh ourselves in one of the several kiosks we ride down to the Nástup hotel. From the ski lift starting station located at the foothills of ski slopes, we will follow a side road towards the village "Háj“. We will go down through the village, until we reach the green sign and start to follow it. At the end of the village we will find a crossroad. From here we will follow the green sign towards "Kovářská railway station“. For a while we follow the green sign uphill and then we get a chance to enjoy a nice downhill ride on a paved forest road until we reach a T-junction. Here, the green sign would take us into a wild and hard terrain. So we take a left and continue without any tourist signs on a forest path gently taking us down to a T-junction, where we take a right turn and go down to Kovářská street. Here we may examine an Air Combat Museum and ruins of a former iron mill. We continue to follow the Kovářská street towards "Černý Potok (Black Brook)“ (6 km). Then we go mostly down and through the Černá voda (Black water valley) . It is a very nice, maybe the nicest section of our trip. From the village of Black Brook we take an uphill ride /2-3/ on a moderately busy road with traffic and continue to go up and over the hill. Then we begin to descend until we reach a V-shaped intersection, where we turn right towards "Kadaň" and "Chomutov (also Route No. 3003). Alternating climbs and descents with maximum difficulty /2/ take us around the water reservoir Přísečnice. Its banks are covered with lush vegetation and occasionally interrupted with a rock or a pebble beach, calling for a cooling bath that is mostly appreciated during hot summer days. Unfortunately, swimming is not allowed, because it serves as a drinking water reservoir. As we go around the reservoir we must take a rather busy road, so we will appreciate the opportunity to leave this road and join a side road towards "Kovářská", where we begin with another climb /2-3/. We keep climbing for 2 km until we come to a farm house where we find a crossroad sign on the left side of the road with the yellow tourist sign on it. We take the yellow towards "Měděnec“ (4.5 km) and soon we will have a chance to enjoy the first view of the mining tower with the hill Mědník with a chapel behind it. We keep going through a field on a forest road running through a pleasing nature and presenting us here and there with a view of the top of the Mědník and the mine Mědenec, until we reach another crossroad with a blue sign on it. For the most part of our trip we go down, and for about one third we climb uphill. Before the end of the trip the slope gets steeper /2-3/. Then we take a left turn towards "Měděnec“. At the end we only go down until we reach Měděnec, where we started our trip and where our trip ends. Total length 48.5 km - including Klínovec.
