Something like 3 euros entry, if you enter the loop from the other side you don't have to pay anything? (Otherwise fine, but if you don't want to spend anything, you'd better reverse the route😅).

Nice hike, of course the highlights are a bit crowded. The route is ideal as a "regeneration day".

not recommended with dogs and children lots of broken glass on the forest paths .. partly littered Bieddoses etc.. partly very poorly signposted almost impossible without GEO data The only highlight was the viewing platform and the waterfall. The long journey from Špindlerův Mlýn is not worth the hike.
