The Aichelburg Forest Castle, located on a rock outcrop high above Temný Důl. The castle was built by the inhabitants of Maršov in honour of Count Berthold of the Aichelburg family, who was active in Maršov since 1847.  Nowadays, the castle is reached by a well-maintained walking route around the information centre Veselý výlet in Temný Důl, where you can borrow a key to the castle and walk in the footsteps of Count Aichelburg. The opening hours of the information centre are every day from 8:30 am to 6:00 pm. Tel.: + 420 499 874 298.

Exploring the beautiful surroundings is almost a must: from the log cabin, take a beautiful walking path along the Úpa River to the monumental neo-Gothic Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. The architect of the church was the famous Josef Schulz, who designed, for example, the National Museum and the National Theatre in Prague. Not far from the new church is the original old Renaissance church, next to the DOTEK information centre. Here, you can, among other things, book a guided tour with a local guide. The DOTEK Centre is housed in the former rectory building and is open daily from 9:00 to 18:00 during the high season. Tel.: +420 739 203 205.

Have fun at the Pecka Children's playground in Portášky. Children's attractions representing the world in the forest, meadow and water. The Pecka playscape is a unique set of larger-than-life wooden models of animals that live in the Giant Mountains. There are also rope trails and climbing frames. You can also take a cable car and descend on scooters.

If you fancy a slightly longer hike, head towards Rýchory. The path from Horní Maršov leads through forests and meadows to Rýchorská bouda, where you can refresh yourself. Along the way, you will find views worth every step and the unique Rýchory forest with twisted beech trees. And a reward in the form of beautiful panoramas at the end of the trail. We also recommend you take the Rýchory nature trail, which has ten stops. It follows marked tourist paths from the Maxovka viewpoint with a turn to the Rýchory well towards the crossroads of the Kutná to Dvorský let road and returns above Sněžné Domky.

Horní Maršov lies at the crossroads between the top resorts of Černá hora and Pec pod Sněžkou. Don't want to worry about parking? Take a comfortable and free ski bus from Horní Maršov between the two destinations. To get the little kids and beginners started, you can visit the smaller resort of Mladé Buky, a 10-minute drive from the chalet.

If you like adrenaline experiences, the bobsleigh track in Pec pod Sněžkou is the right choice! The attraction offers fun for young and old alike, where you can enjoy a fast ride with spectacular views of the surrounding mountain landscape. Thanks to its safe construction, the coaster is suitable for families with children, but it will also delight lovers of fast rides and adrenaline. Part of the winter is also randomly lit up and that's just a magical ride! If the experience was not enough for you, the longest bobsled run in the Giant Mountains is in the nearby village of Mladá Buky.

If you enjoy cross-country skiing on white trails, you can connect to the legendary Krkonoše ski "trail" in Horní Maršov or access seasonally groomed ski trails nearby.
