100.00 CZK per day.
Pec pod Sněžkou sits under the highest mountain in Czechia, and the roads that climb from it into the inner protection zone of the Krkonoše National Park are closed to motor vehicles by traffic sign. The town's ordinance č.
1/2026 sets the price of the permit that lets you past, and unlike every other Czech town in this corpus it is not a zone around a square — it is six mountain roads, each described as running from a named landmark towards the settlements above it.
In Pec itself: the local road from the Zelený potok bridge up towards Poustevník, Vysoký svah, Lučiny, Zahrádky, Hnědý vrch, Javor and Stráň, and the road from the Bystřiny car park to the Lesovna in the Úpa valley. In Velká Úpa: from house no. 185, the former health centre, up to Klausenwald; from the junction at no.
132, the Uran, up to Prostřední and Zadní výsluní, Žlebský důl, Přední výsluní and Janovy boudy; from no. 240, the Starý mlýn, up to Hlušiny; and from the junction at no. 260, the Alamo, up to Vavřincův důl, Hlušiny and Schneiderova stráň.
A day costs 100 Kč per vehicle. The rate that matters to a visitor staying in one of the chalets is the one below it: 200 Kč buys eight days for a vehicle whose occupants are staying in the zone, which is two days' worth of driving for a week and a day of it. Commuting to work costs 200 Kč for a whole year; anything else is 1 000 Kč a year.
For a single day, or part of one, no declaration is required at all.
Nobody pays who is registered inside the charged place or owns property there, nor their close family, nor property users in business or public-benefit activity, nor ZTP and ZTP/P holders and their companions, and the ordinance adds emergency services, mountain rescue, the Trutnov municipal police and water utility, undertakers, waste vehicles, the Krkonoše National Park Administration and the town's own vehicles.
The ordinance took effect on 1 April 2026 and replaced the town's 2024 one; the national register records it as Platné.
