Czech Triathlon 2017

We want to spend a long weekend doing sport in the Czech Republic. I put together a great tour for us. With 16 people we are on our way to the Czech Republic on Friday. But we have the first night in one of the first Tree house hotels in Görlitz, the island of culture. Our journey from Hamburg again takes longer than expected, so we only arrive in the dark and cannot see so much of the fantastic facility. However, our earth cave in which we live is awesome. After our arrival, the others were waiting for us in the restaurant, because the operators were so kind as to give us something to eat. It was really nice and very tasty. We were all very exhausted from the working day and so everyone quickly disappeared into their sleeping bags. Since we are directly in on Saturday Decin for the Climbing the Schäferwand were arranged, the night accordingly short. However, a great breakfast awaited us with everything your heart desires. Of course we took our time for it. In the sunshine we made our way to Decin. Unfortunately, the weather was supposed to change by the time we arrived and our via ferrata tour was in danger. Jarin, our friend and organizer, comforted us and asked us to be patient, the weather would change again. So we went for a walk and looked at the castle and stopped at a small restaurant. In fact, the weather should change again after a good shower and we could finally go to the via ferrata. The group was then divided up and each group chose a climb. Unfortunately, I could only watch from below and take nice photos. But the climb doesn't run away. Everyone had a lot of fun and some even did their climb twice. Pretty exhausted, we then made our way to the Giant Mountains in the direction of Horny Sytova Hotel Jizera. There we were longing for jarin expected at the hotel. First there was a hot, delicious soup and a decent schnitzel. After that we all felt better and we could move into our rooms and sit down together with a beer. On Saturday, the surroundings and the facility were briefly checked and after breakfast we started our mountain bike tour in Herlikovice. Since I couldn't ride a bike because of my knee and a few others didn't want to either, there was an alternative hike without further ado. We took the bus to Vrchlaby and from there we first went to the mountain bike rental and then took the chairlift up the mountain. First we looked at the Zaly lookout tower and took a short break to look around and then it all started for everyone. The bikers and hikers met halfway along the route and took a lunch break together in the sun. Then we continued towards Vrchlaby. The hikers were faster and we were resting when the first car came down. We were frightened, she had fallen on the gravel with her bike. But thank God nothing worse happened except for a few abrasions and bruises. When we were frightened, we got ourselves a delicious soft ice cream on the way home. In the complex, most of them jumped out of their clothes and jumped straight into the adjacent river to cool off. Others sat in the sun and relaxed. Later in the evening we grilled and played and sat together around the campfire. That was another unforgettable day and the evening was very long again. On Monday we were able to take things a little easier and had breakfast in peace. Then we packed up the canoes with Jarin and then we started paddling. The weather was also great again, because we had glorious sunshine. On the Jizera we then made our way between mala scale and Turnov over small rapids and flat pieces. We had a lot of fun and halfway through it smelled so great of grilled sausage and lo and behold, Jarin had organized a barbecue for us somewhere in the middle of nowhere, it was very idyllic. We were all very grateful, because so much sport makes you really hungry. After that it went quite a bit further. After packing everything up, we visited one more on the way back Castle complex Vranov with amazing views and then we arrived at the hotel in time for dinner. Everyone was pretty tired, but it was still a long evening, we've experienced so much. On Tuesday after breakfast we actually wanted to go to Prague, but then there were the first protests and so the alternative program was launched, namely a trip to the Rock town of Prachov. So we had a nice walk at the end of our tour before we went home.
