    Tips and suggestions

    Check my colleague's blog article for more pictures and information about the route. 

    Author's advice continued: If you are afraid of slippery rocks and stones, you can try going this route from the other end - start hiking from the Karlova Studanka parking and follow the yellow tourist trail signs until you reach Ovčarna's bus-stop and continue until you reach Praděd peak. Then downwards, you can take a bus from Ovčarna bus-stop and arrive at Karlova Studanka parking. Please note, this way, your elevation gain will rise to over 700 meters. If you are ready for a much more difficult hike - this advice is for you!
