First snow on Krkonoše ridges, strong winds halt some cable cars

The first snow of the upcoming winter season has fallen on the ridges of the Krkonoše Mountains in the northeast of Czechia. Strong winds and weather warnings have halted several cable cars in the area. The Mountain Rescue Service advises against ridge hikes this weekend due to risks from slippery and icy paths. Additionally, heavy rain and snowfall are expected at higher elevations. The cable car to Sněžka Mountain was halted due to winds exceeding 100 km/h. Other "summer" cable cars in the region are also closed, with extreme weather predicted to last until Monday.
