Our starting point is the parking lot in Komáří Výška. We can get there by car or by a cable car from Krupka-Bohusudov. From here we will follow the red sign towards "Pod Komáří hůrkou" (Under Mosquito Hill) (0.5 km). After a short while we will reach a crossroad sign for Pod Komáří hůrkou and continue to follow the red sign towards "Přední Cínovec" (3 km). Going over slightly hilly terrain and following the forest paths we will get to Přední Cínovec and shall continue towards the village of "Cínovec" (4 km). From now on we will be riding on the territory of the East Krušné Mountains Nature Park. This park was established in 1995 with the intention to maintain and protect the typical countryside of the Krušné Mountains region. The biggest number of various species is concentrated in core areas, where scientists identified 23 types of protected plants. 32 species of birds listed in the Red Book of Endangered and Rare Species are also found here. Right behind the crossroad sign we must make a steep 0.5 km long climb /2-3/. Later the slope gets more relaxed and when we reach a crossroad pointing at the Krušnohorská Ski Trail we will turn left together with the Krušnohorská Ski Trail. This trail follows a forest road for 2.5 km until it reaches the Hotel na Pomezí near the E-55 road. Here we will find a tourist crossroad sign and make a slight 1 km long climb and follow the blue sign all the way to Horní Cínovec. For easier navigation we will stick to the red sign going towards the village of Cínovec and go through Cínovec where we join a road going to the village of Fojtovice. We will now continue on this road. For the first two kilometres we will be going slightly uphill /2/ and for the next 3.5 km we take a slight downhill walk /2/. On our right side we will see the Cínovecký Ridge and shortly after also Lysá Mountain. On our left side we will see the core/central zone of the Nature Park. Less than 0.5 km before Fojtovice at a sharp right turn, we will find a gravestone where 59 victims of the Death march and one fallen Soviet soldier are buried. This reminds us that this countryside was not always an idyllic tourist paradise but also a place where many human tragedies and injustices took place. In the village of Fojtovice we will turn left again and join the asphalt road going around the "tak ahoj" pub (See You pub) (closed at present) and start climbing /2/ around farm buildings at first, and then around farm meadows and slopes typical for this part of the Krušné Mountains. After 2 km we will arrive at the village of Habartice. From the crossroad sign for Habartice we will continue on the same road and follow the red sign towards Adolfov (2.5 km). Views of the beautiful mountain meadows located in the core zone of the Nature Park will make most of our climb /2/ easier and more pleasant. In Adolfov you may purchase refreshments. From Adolfov we will follow the red sign towards "Pod Jelením vrchem" (4 km). Immediately after we pass the village, the red sign will take us out of the main traffic road and will bring us to a path disappearing into beautiful beech forests. Going mostly downhill /2-3/ we will soon reach a crossroad sign for Pod Liškárnou. From here we will continue to follow the red trail, but after about 100 m, we cross an asphalt road where we take a left turn and leave the marked trails. A short climb with maximum slope /2/ will take us quickly back between meadows and hilly plains and after 1 km we reach a T-shaped intersection where we take a left towards the village of "Krásný les" (Beautiful Forest) (1 km). Then we ride down the hill to the village and through the village (do not turn right in Petrovice!) until we reach a crossroad sign with a beautiful Column of the Crucifixion. Here we take a left turn towards Adolfov. For the next 5 km to Adolfov we will go slightly uphill /2-3/ except for a short downhill ride at the end. From the crossroad sign for Adolfov we will continue to follow the red sign going towards Habartice (2.5 km), Komáří Vížka (Mosquito Tower) (5 km). From Hrabatice we will follow the red sign again towards Komáří Vížka (2.5 km) The red sign will take us to a small field road which crosses the Fojtovická Plain. We remain on this road until we reach the crossroad sign for the Fojtovická Plain. From the crossroad sign we will climb uphill /3/ to get to Komáří Vížka. Here we have the opportunity to refresh ourselves and to enjoy beautiful views of the already completed part of our journey. From Komáří Vížka (807 m) we will ride down for 200 m to the parking lot, where our trip comes to an end. Total length 36 km.
