The “highlight” of Harrachov is also well-groomed trails, the routes of which are developed along the picturesque places of the resort. The history of the Harrachov ski resort is rooted in the family of Count Harrach, who is known throughout the Czech Republic for the first time he brought skiing to the country, and managed to popularize skiing, first introducing his family to them, and then friends and many compatriots.
