Czechia walks
In the footsteps of the exiles to Johanngeorgenstadt
A border walk steeped in history.
This historic hike starts at the market square in Horní Blatná (Platten) by St. Laurentius Church. The trail initially heads towards Breitenbach before turning off into the forest. In dry weather, it’s worth taking a detour to the old cobalt mill, a silent testament to mining.
The route continues through the Ore Mountains forest towards Oberjugel. It was here that Protestant exiles from Platten found refuge in 1653 after being driven out because of their faith. With the support of the Saxon Elector, Johanngeorgenstadt was later founded.
Via Oberjugel, the route leads along the “Alte Bobbahn” into the Lehmer Grund. Passing the former ore-crushing plant, the path follows the Schwefelbach stream to Unterjugel. There it passes the Glöckl exhibition mine, which illustrates the history of mining.
At the border, market stalls and restaurants invite you to round off the tour.
Sarecky Potok
Within easy reach of the tram and less than 6 km from Charles Bridge, this route takes you through forests and meadows, where you will discover the steep-sided valleys of the little Sarecky Potok river. Plan a whole day for this hike, far from the hustle and bustle of the tourist centres. You will appreciate the scenery and the coolness of the woodland.
Stromovka Park in Prague
Of Prague's many parks, Stromovka (Královská obora Stromovka) is the largest and probably the most pleasant. Next, you will discover Troja Palace, then the Troja vineyard, and finally the botanical garden.
From one bank of the Vltava to the other in Prague
Discover Prague's most iconic sites: Old Town Square with its astronomical clock, Charles Bridge, Prague Castle, St. Vitus Cathedral, the banks of the Vltava River, the Dancing House, and the Kampa Museum.
Prague's parks and gardens
This is an original way to discover Prague, strolling through parks and gardens. Cross the castle courtyard, pass under the Charles Bridge and discover countless panoramic views along the way. Allow four hours, not because of the difficulty of the route, but because of the many stops that are essential if you want to contemplate the richness and diversity of Prague's monuments.
