The long-distance hiking trail Jiráskova horská cesta passes through Mladkov. It leads from Zemská brána via the hut on Adam and Mladkov to Vysoký kámen and onwards to Suchý vrch.
Nature
The educational trail Betonová hranice starts and ends in the centre of Mladkov. Its 23 information panels cover the construction, purpose, history and fate of the Czechoslovak border fortifications. The Mladkovské výhledy route climbs 260 metres in elevation over a relatively short section from the starting point.
Mariánská skála is approximately 12 metres high and has more than 20 routes with moderate to very high difficulty levels. The Mladkov climbing area consists of gneiss rocks on a valley slope above the Silent Eagle River on the outskirts of Mladkov. For cyclists, the Tmavěmodrá PL/CZ route begins at the Czech–Polish border crossing near Mladkov.
Culture
Mladkov’s dominant landmark is the early Baroque Church of St John the Baptist, built at the end of the 17th century. The single-nave building has a polygonal presbytery and a square tower on the west façade. The west tower features a stone portal dated 1736 and, in a niche, a stone statue of St John the Baptist with a lamb. A statue of St John of Nepomuk stands beside the church, while a Marian column stands in the western part of Mladkov Square.
History
The border tree at the tourist crossing point from Mladkov to its Polish neighbours is an ash tree that has been growing since 1581. It marked the boundary between the estates of Zdeněk Valdštejn and Michael von Tschirnhaus. The site of the border tree near Mladkov is accessible by car; a car park and a tourist rest area have been established in the immediate vicinity.
