Tremsin (Třemšín) peak - walk in the forst

Třemšín is the peak in the southern part of the Central Bohemian Mountains Brdy. With a height of 827 m above sea level, it is the highest point of southern Brdy. Despite its dominating height, view is limited because the peak is covered with the trees. There is plan to build the tower for tourists there. Still the walk is nice, on the top is fireplace and the ruins of an old castle. On the way back we found an apple trees growing inside the forest. Still with apples in the end of December. Peak is also possible to reach with a terrain pram.

Kunsterspring: all day nature experience

In Kunsterspring you can spend a nice day with all day nature experience.

Kochquelle. The all valley in Kunsterspring is full of springs. The most insteresting from them is Kochquelle (Boiling spring). The temperature of the water is 8 degrees Celsius in winter and summer. The name is coming from its outlook which is like in boiling t pot. The water is very clean at offers a living space for sensitives crampons. The path in the valley is not suitable for bicycles but we made it with pram (terrain one).

Smokehouse. Near the entrance to the valley is a smokehouse with fishes from own farm. Opened every day 9-17. Tasty place for lunch.

Zoo. On the other side to the entrance to the valley is a local zoo. I liked it because it is place with mainly native species typical for our climate - a bit like a farm but animals are not kept as food but as a pets.

Five Rivers bike tour (Bavaria)

In August we experience the beauties of Bavaria on the one of the best German bike tours: The Five Rivers bike tour. Tour is rather flat and well prepared with most of the kilometers outside of the car traffic. There is always water near by to refresh when it is becaming too hot form cycling or from the Sun. The countryside is picturesque. Often on the way there are white rocks, castles, midle age towns, forests making it full of attractions. Our kids enjoyed most Archaeology Park in Altmühltal were the Celtics buildings are reconstructed and stay directly next to the path in more stations.

There are many campings places and other accommodation on the way. You can download the official map on the Geo-Data Five Rivers bike tour

Březina: prehistoric settlement, beautiful forest and views.

Březina is an early medieval and perhaps prehistoric fortified settlement near the village of the same name in Rokycany district. It is located in the western part of the Křivoklát Highlands on the hill of Hradiště. Its area is protected as a cultural monument of Czechia. To the hill leads the red marked tourist route from Březina. Path is short: definitely suitable for a walk for kids and also some prams. It leads through mixed forest with very old trees. On the top there is a small pavilion to get rest and enjoy the view. Peace with great atmosphere.
