What to do and experience around Beroun
The city of Beroun can be found only about 20 kilometers along the highway southwest of Prague. It is an excellent starting point to three protected areas – Křivoklátsko, Český kras and also a little further to Brd. The axis of the region is not only the highway, but especially the beautiful river Berounka. Let's see what can be done here for beautiful trips

Military Brdy
North part
After years, I visited Brdy at the relatively newly created Brdy Protected Landscape Area. Where we went from Ptákov to Jince. It is a suitable autumn hike, where, in addition to Valdek Castle, we walked through the former military premises of this training ground, but the soldiers still did not leave these premises. Unfortunately, we also met here with arrogant representatives of the Brdy Protected Landscape Area. The advantage for people is that he's still really dead. continue reading
