Ježíškova cesta, Educational trail in Boží Dar, Czech Republic.

Ježízkova cesta is an educational trail in Boží Dar that winds through the Ore Mountains with stations designed especially for children. The route passes small houses and learning points where visitors can complete tasks related to nature and local customs.

The trail opened on 8 December 2007, laid out on existing hiking routes and partly on restored forest paths. It followed the Ježíšek post office, which since 1994 has received letters addressed to the Christ Child, stamped them with a Christmas motif that changes each year, and sent them back to the sender.

The trail is named after Ježíšek, the Czech Christ Child, and its 13 stops with houses introduce not only him and his helpers but also the life, traditions and nature of the ancestors. Some stops are games: visitors identify animal tracks, leaves and tree fruits. Fairy-tale figures carved from wood stand along the route, each house paired with climbing frames, slides or swings.

Two route options are available, both marked with orientation signs for easy navigation through the landscape. Plan for dry weather and bring sturdy shoes and rain gear, as the mountain altitude and conditions can change during a visit.

The trail opened on 8 December 2007, building on the Ježíšek post office that has operated in Boží Dar since 1994. Letters addressed to Ježíšek are sent there by Czech Post, stamped with a Christmas motif that changes each year, and returned to the sender.
