Jvornik, Šumava (Bohemian Forest)

The sourrounding of the Javornik mountain is full of menhirs. They are not marekd on google maps, but are marked on mapy.cz or you can found detail rounds with map onsumavanet.cz We combined the walkt to the peak with sladges, drining water form the local sources and examing mehirs. The most know is called Moon Menhir (it has na sign of the moon in the "eye of menhir". It stands in the artifical postion most probably sicnce perhistory. The archeological reseacher of the place has never been done. All the menhirs I saw before were standing alone. Around Javornik it is different. All of them are surrounded by lots of oher stones with quite regular shapes - like it would be the old ruins of something, but so old that it is hard to judge.

On the peak Javornik itsleft there is an observation tower, but even if it is closed you ca still have a view on the sourrounding mountains in some directions.

Dobra Voda - Křemelná walk with sledges

Relaxing walk through the forest to the peak of Kremelna from Dobra Voda. On the top there is also a forest and so the view is limited. Only on the south side of the mountain there is partial view on the other mountains. We walked there in the winter and this was great rout for the sledges. Back to Dobra Voda we get after sunset, by the full moon. Picturesquare atmosphere. The water source near the church is open and accessible all the time. We drink the water and go back home very happy.

Pancíř - Můstek - route for sledges

Very easy nice route, perfect for sledges and small kids (going on the sledges if they do not want to walk). We want to Železná Ruda (Pancíř) by train and from Brcalnik by train back. On the way are beautiful views (again we were lucky to see Alps from Pancir), restaurant on Pancir and water springs on the way from Mustek to Brcalnik.

Kokotské rybníky (Dyšina) nature trail

Nice trail through nature and archaeological site of middle ages village.

Kašperské Hory/Bergreichenstein - Jewel hiden among the the Bohemian Forest

Kašperské Hory is a mountainous resort rich in the history and attractions. Main square is full of restaurants and hotels. Delicious food, buildings are renovated and the offer is reach. We enjoyed most during the visit in Glassworks were we could blow our own mugs. From the city Kašperské Hory we walked through the fields and forest to the castle Kasperk build by Charles IV. Great atmosphere inside and interesting guide tour - suited for the time of the year. We learn about the Christmases in the middle ages castle and my son played the Charles IV himself.There is also possibility to ski. Definitely worth of visiting for the few days.
