SOLENICE HORSESHOE: A VIEW WORTH THE CLIMB
Between the Kamýk and Orlík reservoirs, the Vltava River curves into one of its most spectacular meanders – the Solenice Horseshoe. For the best view, head to the rocky viewpoint Na Vraném near Solenice. Rising around 150 metres above the water, it rewards you with a dramatic panorama of the river winding through the green landscape of Central Bohemia.
PARAPLÍČKO VIEWPOINT: ABOVE THE BEROUNKA RIVER
Not far from Křivoklát Castle, Paraplítko offers a beautiful view over the winding Berounka River, the village of Roztoky and the surrounding forested hills. The viewpoint takes its name from its distinctive umbrella-shaped pavilion. The easiest way to reach it is along a 1.5 km nature trail from Křivoklát Castle – an easy addition to a day exploring the area.
MÁMINKA LOOKOUT TOWER: A FAMILY-FRIENDLY WALK WITH A VIEW
Looking for an easy trip into the Czech countryside? Follow the blue trail from Hudlice through Tátovka Avenue to the Máminka lookout tower on Krušná hora. The gentle climb is suitable even for younger children or a stroller. At the top, the 33-metre tower rewards you with views towards Beroun and the forests of Křivoklátsko. Along the way, stop at the Thought Garden or look out for Hudlinoš and Hudlinoška.
ŽLEBY DEER PARK: MEET THE WHITE DEER
Just outside Kutná Hora, Žleby Deer Park is known for its remarkable herd of white deer. Set within the grounds of Žleby Chateau, the 121-hectare park also features a visitor enclosure with birds of prey and owls, while mouflon, water birds and other animals can be seen throughout the area. The deer park is around a 10-minute walk from the chateau, making it easy to combine both in one trip.
MUMLAVA WATERFALL: ADD A LITTLE WILD WATER TO YOUR AUTUMN
Colourful forests, crisp mountain air and water tumbling over massive granite steps – Mumlavský Waterfall near Harrachov is made for an autumn escape. At almost ten metres high, the waterfall is impressive in its own right, but there is more to discover.
In the Mumlava riverbed, swirling water has carved deep hollows into the granite known as the Giant’s Kettles, nicknamed the Devil’s Eyes. Reaching the waterfall is easy: from Harrachov, it is a pleasant walk of around 1.5 kilometres.
And if you are not ready to turn back, continue through the Mumlava Valley and turn a short waterfall stop into a few hours in the mountains.
