Forest nature trail Babí lom
The forest nature trail Babí lom is a great place for a family trip that combines easy hiking, fun for children and exploring nature. It is located in the vicinity of the romantic Babí lom lookout tower, but instead of a challenging route along a rocky ridge, it offers a more pleasant option for families with children. The main attractions of the trail are wooden animal statues, a forest playground and educational stops that bring the cycle of life in the forest closer.

If you arrive by car, we recommend parking in Vranov at the Na Gruntech guesthouse, where you can enjoy the famous self-service bar. From here, a red hiking trail leads towards Babí quarry. After approximately 1.5 kilometres you will reach a crossroads where you will find the popular forest bar U Jelínka, an ideal place for a short break. The path is slightly rocky, but it is also passable for off-road buggies.
From the forest bar, continue along the blue and green trail towards the Babí lom Forest Nature Trail. This trail is circular and visitors are guided by the mascot Forest Ant. The route is clearly marked and at each stop a wooden statue of a different forest animal awaits, making the journey fun and interactive for children. There are short sections between each stop, so children are motivated to continue and discover more animals.
At four points along the trail there are forest playgrounds with climbing frames and swings. The nature trail also includes a new forest gazebo and a restored well at St. Hubert's. The whole circuit can be completed in about an hour, but it is a good idea to allow time for stops and playgrounds.
After completing the trail, you can treat yourself to a reward - for example, a cake from the forest bar U Jelínek or a self-serve kofola from the Na Gruntech tap. The Babí lom forest nature trail is a great tip for families with children and all those who want to enjoy a peaceful walk in beautiful nature.
