The history of the sledging track
The sledging track from Černá hora to Janské Lázně goes through places where horn sledges travelled 100 years ago. The name "Zvonková cesta" (zvonek = sleigh bell) comes from the times when sledges were equipped with bells to warn other passers-by.
Sledging has a much longer tradition in the Giant Mts. than skiing. Mountaineers used sledges for transportation of hay as early as the 16th century. 300 years later tourist started using sledges for entertainment. However, instead of horses to get you to the starting point of the sledging track you will travel from Janské Lázně in a modern cable car.
