Výlet na Sněžku
Trip to Sněžka
Climbing the highest Czech mountain: by cable car in fifteen minutes or on foot through Obří důl — and why you should pack warm clothes even in July.
You will practice: Superlatives (nejvyšší, nejjednodušší, nejoblíbenější), the modal construction se dá (na vrchol se dá dostat), and comparisons with než (chladněji než v údolí).
