Černá Studnice is the cradle of sledging

Černá Studnice is one of the cradles of sledging in Czechia. On 1 January 1911, a tourist and racing sledge track was opened here, which ended in Jablonec. People used to go on trips to Černá Studnice, have a meal and grog there, borrow sledges and ride down on them. They returned the sleds in Jablonec, and when a large pile had accumulated, a horse-drawn carriage took them back to Černá Studnice.
