One day rout from Praha-Modrany to Praha-Troja, ~14 km on Vltava river. On the way there are two locks that let to omit high weirs. Just be calrfull to choose the proper side of the river to land in the lock and not on the weir - worht to check a map before. The highlights are the Charles Bridge and Prague's Venice (very small on the left from Charles Bridge).
In Mai is just beautiful, but some places are even more special. For example deciduous forest, befor the leaves will grow and make it dark. During the spring deciduous forest is full of flowers and very small fresh green leaves on the trees...so fresh and alive! Near Rumpal the forest is mature (protected area) with many deciduous trees and is amazing in Mai. On the top are small rocks - good for climb also with kids and a view on the part of the landscape below.
On a high rock, in a bend of the river, there are ruins of a medieval castle: Gutštejn. An improvised bridge made of fallen trees runs across the river. Around the forest. A place for a bonfire in the ruins. Fanatastic scenario for a joint sitting by the fire and crazy running around the land for children.
There is no tourist sign to Velká Doubrava, but there are a lot of roads to this hill. They will all take you approximately to the U Hubert saddle (between Velká and Malá Doubrava). The most comfortable route is probably on the asphalt road, which starts at a bend above Věckovice and leads along the eastern slopes of Malá Doubrava. You can easly do it with pram or in the winter with sladges (nobody cleans the road from snow). The peak has very limited view because of the forest, but on one side there is a starting point for paraglides with no trees and open view.
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.

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.
From parking (reachable by car or bike) near Karches you can start a walk to the two highest peaks of Fichtel Mountains: Schneeberg and Ochsenkopf. Althought Osenkopf is smaller it is definetly more atracitive to choose: on the way are sources of drinkable water and souce of Weißmain (Weißmainquelle), picturesque rocks formations (visited also by Goethe) and on top a restaurant with traditional Bavarian food and free stone tower that let you look around from above the forest. Peak with restaurant and observation tower is just german classic for me. All together definetly to recommend.
