A nice circuit along the rocky peaks of Křižánky
To the east of Křižánky there are wooded hills whose peaks are decorated, so typical for the Vysočina region, with massive rocks. It offers a nice circuit just over two rocky hills – Milovské Perníčky and Čtyři palice
Climbing the Crusaders
The start and finish of this sightseeing tour is in Křižánky. We set off slowly along the nature trail „Za pilnikáři na Český kopec“ around the picturesque cottages. Looking back, on the other side of the Svratka River, we see the center of the town and on the horizon a massif stretching from the Nine Rocks
Crossroads at the cross
We come to a crossroads at the crossroads through which we continue straight up
Road along the Czech Hill
The dirt road rises slightly along the slope of Český kopec (711 m above sea level). There are fences on both roads, so if you would like to take a walk to the top of this hill, you have to climb it somewhere.
Views from the Czech Hill
The views from Český kopce to the Svratka valley are really very nice and wide. If you only need a short walk, the route Křižánky – Český kopec and back is also worth it
Cottages under the Czech Hill
From the lookout, almost 700 meters above sea level, we can easily descend to several cottages with a newly built pond. Behind them, the road disappears in the forest
Milovské gingerbread - Mound
It is only a few tens of meters from the cottages to the intersection with the bike path. After it, we will enter a crossroads, where we will connect to the blue hiking trail. This will take us to the rock formations of Milovská Perníčka. The first to appear is the Mohyla formation, which can also be climbed and admired with a limited view down into the valley
Milovské Gingerbreads - Velké Gingerbreads
Following the marked hiking trail, you will reach a higher peak, where there is also a slightly better view
View of the Svratka valley
From the top there is a nice view of the wide valley of Svratka, Křižánka and the massif of Nine Rocks
Mysterious rock bowls
Local attractions are mysterious rock bowls
Four sticks
Now we have about a kilometer of forest journey before we reach another famous local rock formation – Four sticks
Four sticks - view point
The formation itself is interesting and quite large – but the views are quite limited
Exit from the forest
Now we have a pretty steep descent. Once again we come across a bike path that we have already passed once today. But we will follow it only for a while before the blue sign turns to take us out of the forest after a while
Picturesque end of the tour
Now we continue through the open picturesque landscape with views and gradually close the circle, about 6 km long
