Hiking with kids in Czechia on Plšíci.cz

Kazín

Sat, 30 May 2026 15:15:00 +0000

A trip to what is probably the prettiest viewpoint over the Berounka valley in the area.

Along the way you can stop to admire the trees and shrubs in the Všenory arboretum. Here you’ll find a great swing, another one here, and you can grill some sausages too; and after scrambling past the rock where the castle of Libuše’s sister Kazi supposedly once stood, you can dip your feet in the Berounka and get something tasty at Tornádo.

Panna and Kalich

Sat, 30 May 2026 15:15:00 +0000

A trip to a castle founded by Jan Žižka himself. Admission is charged at weekends to cover the cost of maintaining the ruins. The climb is pretty steep, but the views are worth it!

You can extend the route with a visit to the nearby ruins of Panna. Nobody looks after that one, but the little rocks on the top and the views are lovely as well. In Řepčice you can refresh yourselves with water from the spring.

Sedlo

Sat, 30 May 2026 15:15:00 +0000

The climb up Sedlo is pretty steep, but if you have little mountain goats at home, they will surely love it, because they definitely won’t be bored. There are plenty of small rocks along the way and the views are superb.

Hazmburk Castle

Sat, 16 May 2026 08:15:00 +0000

A walk up to one of the most scenic castle ruins in the country. Its unmistakable silhouette can be seen from far away.

The sweeping views from the top of the castle tower, over the Central Bohemian Uplands, Říp and beyond, are truly superb. I’d therefore recommend saving the visit for a day with good visibility.

The ascent from the east and then along the red trail is manageable even with an all-terrain pram.

Borotín

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 01:00:00 +0000

A short walk along the nature trail from Borotín to a romantic castle ruin and a Baroque farmstead that is being beautifully restored.

Choustník

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 01:00:00 +0000

A short walk to an extensive castle ruin. It can be done with a pram too.

If you don’t have one and your kids like scrambling over rocks, you can follow a beautiful little path along the rocky ridge and pick up a geocache or two along the way.

Kozí Hrádek

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 01:00:00 +0000

A walk through the forest around the remains of a small castle where Jan Hus once stayed. They’ve put together a nice nature trail with comics about it.

The walk is made even nicer by a game reserve with fallow deer and other animals, or perhaps by the low-flying planes from the nearby airfield.

Pintovka

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 01:00:00 +0000

A pretty walk close to Tábor. It’s especially lovely along the Lužnice river, and the rest of the way is livened up by a game reserve and information boards.

Through the Jistebnice orchards

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 01:00:00 +0000

A walk along the nature trail around the Jistebnice ponds. It could also be done with a more rugged pram.

Velký Blaník

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 01:00:00 +0000

Off to see the legendary knights at the summit, where there is a nice wooden lookout tower.

Then along the nature trail to the House of Nature.

Send dad back to the car, for instance :).

Vlašim

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 01:00:00 +0000

A walk through the beautiful, extensive chateau park at Vlašim Chateau.

There is a nice playground at the start, and a well-made game makes the walk more fun for the kids.

This trip can be combined with a visit to Parazoo.

Světovina

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 15:15:00 +0000

A nice trip near Zbiroh. You can park comfortably by the local inn. The start of the route follows the road and isn’t very interesting.

However, once you join the green-marked trail, you get into a nice forest and soon start coming across small rocks. A pleasant path along a rocky ridge leads to the summit of Světovina. From there you drop steeply down to a junction and follow the yellow trail to the Čertovy skály (Devil’s Rocks).

Krásná stráň

Sat, 21 Dec 2024 15:15:00 +0000

Krásná stráň has conditions that are unique for the Czech Republic. The rocky, southeast-facing slope has an almost Mediterranean climate. Thanks to that, our largest lizard thrives here, as do succulents. Incidentally, nearby Dobřichovice holds the record for the highest temperature ever measured in the Czech Republic.

You can park on the flat area in the old quarry. From there you can scramble up a little path onto the ridge and follow it all the way to the top. In summer, though, it can be fairly overgrown and it may be better to use the green trail. It’s only a small detour.
