Skřítek peat bog and Rabštejn
Od motorestu po zelené značce (společně s naučnou stezkou Světem horských luk; dřevěný haťový chodník přes okraj NPR Rašeliniště Skřítek – do rezervace samotné je vstup zakázán) k rozcestí Pod Ztracenými kameny a na skalní vyhlídku Ztracené kameny (1 250 m, přírodní památka); zpět stejnou cestou
From the motorest along the green-marked trail via the Krtinec rock formation to the Hvězda trail junction (shelter), along the red and yellow-marked trails to the Rabštejn ruins (803 m, rock viewpoints, climbing rocks, a hut below the castle), back along the blue-marked trail on a forest track to Skřítek. Shorter access to Rabštejn: from Bedřichov (Oskava) 4.5 km one way
Destination

Tips
- Skřítek gnome statue – By the large car park stands the wooden Skřítek (gnome) by sculptor Jiří Jílek from Sobotín – a favourite photo spot with children before you set off.
- To Rabštejn with children from Bedřichov – The shortest route to the ruin starts in Bedřichov (4.5 km, +300 m); climbers practise on the rocks by the castle, so hold children's hands at the viewpoints.
- Wet even in summer – The peat bog holds water – expect mud on the edge paths; waterproof boots are useful even in July.
- Continuing along the ridge – Od Ztracených kamenů vede zelená (a s ní NS Světem horských luk) dál přes Pecný a Břidličnou horu na Jelení studánku (dalších cca 4 km) – viz výlet jeleni-studanka-vernirovice.
- Parking – free at the Skřítek roadside restaurant, fills up quickly in season
- Restrictions – Rašeliniště Skřítek national nature reserve (165 ha, since 1955) – entry prohibited, the marked trails run only along the edge; you can see the peat bog from the path
