The most beautiful trips in Brdy
What to visit and see in Brdy
Thanks to the fact that the military area is located here, Brdy has, paradoxically, the most preserved nature in the wider vicinity of Prague. Now most of them are occupied by a protected landscape area. The best starting points for trips are Dobříš with a beautiful castle, Příbram with a mining past or Rožmitál pod Třemšínem. 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
Walk to Plešivec and surroundings
Or the complete edge of Brd
Plešivec Mountain with an altitude of 654 m above sea level is located in the Brdská Highlands above the Litavka Valley. Due to its strategic location, an extensive fortified settlement was built here in the younger Bronze Age, which was once one of the largest fortified settlements in Bohemia. continue reading
A tour of Rožmitál pod Třemšínem
A picturesque town at the foot of the Brdy, the place of work of Jakub Jan Ryba
Rožmitál pod Třemšínem is a town located about 15 km southwest of Příbram. The historic core of the city is a city monument zone. There are several natural monuments in the area. The dominant feature of the town is the castle, which was created by rebuilding the castle, of which a prismatic tower has been preserved. On the square is the neo-baroque church of St. Jan Nepomucký. continue reading
Trip to Padrť ponds
Conveniently on foot or by bike through the most valuable part of Brd
A pair of large ponds in the intact landscape of the Brdy Protected Landscape Area became a very popular destination after the opening of the space cleared by soldiers in January 2016. The ponds and their beautiful surroundings are definitely worth a visit. Thanks to the extensive network of paved paths, it is ideal for both pedestrians and cyclists. Everyone can prepare a route here according to their needs and ideas. continue reading
Baroque pilgrimage site Skalka
Beautiful area in nature with amazing views, a place of rest and contemplation
About 30 km southwest of Prague lies on the Brdy ridge below the hill Skalka (553 m above sea level) a unique landscape and architectural element of the Baroque area Skalka with the Baroque church of St. Mary Magdalene, a monastery, a hermitage (retreat house) and the Stations of the Cross. The Baroque pilgrimage site, which also includes the Stations of the Cross, was built at the end of the 17th century. The area became a well-known place of pilgrimage in the 18th century. The place has an extraordinary view of the valley with the town of Mníšek pod Brdy. continue reading
Tok
The highest peak of Brdy
Tok (865 m above sea level) is the highest peak of the Brdy Mountains and the Central Bohemian Region. On its eastern slope is the former impact area of the military shooting range. Until December 2015, the Tok was located in a military area, moreover at the boundary of the impact area and was inaccessible to the public, yet it was and is frequently visited, as evidenced by the entries in the summit book. A wide fire ditch runs across the peak continue reading
