Pec pod Sněžkou - a charming ski resort in the Czech Republic, in the heart of the gently loved by the Czechs of the mountain range of Krokonoshe .The highest mountain of the Czech Republic Sněžka reaches 1602 m above sea level .At its top there is a meteorological station, the final station of the funicular stretched from Pez, the chapel of St. .Vavrjinca, built in 1681 g ., and the newest nine-story structure - a post with the lyric name "Anechka", which was given to a fully high-tech building by the architects of romanticism Martin Raines and Patrick Hofmfman .The city itself is, as it is obvious from its name, directly under Snezhko .This is a wonderful, quiet place in the valley of the Upa river, which does not prevent it from being a very popular tourist and sports center .
The city consists of two parts - actually Pez and the Great Upa (Velka Upa), it has a population of 600 inhabitants, most of which work on the routes, in cozy cafes, chalets and hotels. Although Pec and Upa are favored by alpine skiers, local recreation enthusiasts in the Crocone Mountains consider them year-round resorts. Indeed, the mountain air, wonderful landscapes, a cable car and a quiet river do not disappear anywhere in the summer or autumn.

How to get here
To get to Pez is very simple .By plane to Prague, then by bus 170 km, the journey takes just over 3 hours .Until Prague, if someone does not like air travel, it is quite possible to get there by train .Every evening at 23:55 from Moscow the train departs from the Belorussky railway station, the journey time is approximately 30 hours .This, by the way, is not as tiring as it might seem, since you sit at night and arrive every other day early in the morning, so you are actually going to the day, and the rest of the time, sleep .Then - the bus to Pez .Keep in mind that the bus can go not only from the main station, but also from Holesovice, or the "Black Bridge" .We recommend to make inquiries at the railway station or at the airport .Staff in these places speaks English well, people of the senior and middle generation still remember Russian .

Slopes and slopes
The main attraction of any mountain resort - of course, the mountains themselves and everything around them. Despite the relatively small height, Snezhka will be pleased with the variety of routes of the most varied complexity, here their 11, clearly separated by colors, there is even one "black". Therefore, it will not be boring either to make the first steps on skis, nor to real aces. Three routes of the resort are lit in the evening. For snowboard fans, a fan park is open, and the local branch of the ski school of Špindler Мv Mlýn Ski School Spindl offers ski courses and equipment rental.
At the top of Snezka can be reached by a cable car, which runs either directly from Pec, or through Ruzhov Mountain, which makes the route even more interesting. The road runs from 8:00 to 19:00. The prices for tickets range from 130-250 CZK depending on the route. There are family, children's tickets, as well as tickets for other preferential categories.
Hotels
With a relatively small amount of resort accommodation options are very many - for every taste and purse. If you prefer not to worry about where and how to eat in the morning, please the hotels with breakfasts are waiting for you. Another great and favorite way of accommodation for local tourists is apartments, since the Czech Republic is not the country where there can be a problem with food. Moreover, the apartments are always cheaper and give the opportunity to feel like a guest, but a real citizen.

Kitchen
Talk about Czech cuisine can be a long time, and still not find the right words .It is better to come and try, there are no disappointments expected .But still something we will try to share with you in advance .The basis of the Bohemian cuisine - both Old Bohemian and modern, of course, meat .And the Czechs are equally sweet and pork, and beef .The most win-win dish from beef - beef with vegetables, "greenery", as the Czechs say, from pork - fried pork .Be sure to try the "cooked kahnu" (fried duck), a favorite dish of the Old Czech cuisine .Pay tribute to the "utopentsev" - marinated in a special way pancakes .And, of course, the crown of Bohemian gourmandry is the "vepřevo knee", a royal pork leg, which, bear in mind, is difficult to pull alone .Needless to say, any meal in these latitudes is accompanied by beer, or "pig", the subject of national pride of Czechs . Wonderful confectioners, where they cook wonderful coffee, offer a strudel no worse than Austrian, treat it with fresh pastries, and, most importantly, the famous Czech "zmerzlinovym picnic" - ice cream in a glass with whipped cream and fruits. What could be nicer?
Entertainments, excursions and sightseeing Pec
In the city, of course, the entertainment industry is developed - there are sports halls, fitness clubs, restaurants, excursions around the neighborhood are organized. If you are tired of sitting in one place, we suggest you to visit Hradec Králové, one of the most beautiful cities in Bohemia. The old town of Hradec is a monument of world significance, and, believe me, it is not inferior to Kutne-Gora. From the observation deck you can see at once two mountain ranges - Crokones, where you came from, and Orlice. In addition, here is the third largest bell in the Czech Republic - Augustine.
