A few times during my business trips I drove below nice summit Přimda. Every times I told myself: How beatiful view would be from the top.

So when I had to go again to DL I was going to visit PL-022 on way back . I did know that I wouldn't have too much spare time therefore it wouldn't be my usual long hike. I'll park car in Přimda town. But I want to keep my personal rule - last 150m of superelevation go by personal power - therefore I have to park on the square.
