Staying in Špičák
Check how far your room sits above the Špičák stop and which route your host recommends toward Latrán. The return climb matters more than the downhill arrival in the center, especially with shopping or luggage. A useful first outing is to walk toward the lower castle entrance, then cross the river to the square before retracing the route in daylight.
