If you have at least an average level of fitness, getting to the highest peak of the Central Bohemian Mountains won't be much of an issue for you.
There are multiple routes coming up from different directions, but I hiked from the village of Milešov. If you start there, don't park your car in the village, but drive up towards the football field on the edge where local council set up a dedicated parking area.
Then simply follow the red-white tourist marks and you'll be at the summit in about an hour. Most of the walk is in a forest, but the views start opening up near the top. It's also worth coming in different seasons as the nature...
Read moreNáš cíl byl jasny západ a východ slunce na Milesovce. Západ je zřejmě lépe pozorovatelný od podzimu do jara, kdy slunce zapada jizneji, na začátku září zapadalo jeste za stromy a lepe je pozorovatelny z observatore, kam se ale aktualne neda dostat. Nicméně i to malo co bylo videt za to stalo. Zapad se dal dobře pozorovat oknem Weberovy nouzovny. Tam se vyspi 8lidi pohodlně a 12 hodne namackanych, my nocovali jeste s jednim párem. Topuji dobijeci zasuvku v nouzovne na mobil pres usb (funkcnost jsme neoverovali). Chteli jsme pripsat neco do knihy, ale propiska nepise, takze vemte vlastní. Jedinou vadou nouzovny je absence kadibudky, ale to uz je princip nouzovny, jen tech mist okolo moc neni. Nicmene bistro bylo otevrene az do deseti i kdyz bylo psane jen do sesti a záchod se dal vyuzit i tam. Na vychod slunce jsme cekali s dalsimi asi sesti rannimi ptáčaty v prijemnem klidu. A obdivuji ty sportovce co si to rano vybehnou na otocku. Cestu z Bílky, kde jsme take nechali auto na parkovisti, jsme sli s batohy cca hodinu a ctvrt a to nejsme zadni velci sportovci. Pro parkovani pres noc ,musite vhodit rovnou 100kc, jinak vam za 50kc da automat listek jen do pulnoci téhož dne. Menší účastníky potesi tocena zmrzlina na...
Read moreLess than an hour's drive from Prague, then where the road ends, in front of the village of Bílka, you throw a coin into the machine and win parking until midnight. Then all you have to do is climb the 2.5 km uphill and when your heart rate calms down at the top and your eyes focus again, you will be rewarded. And since Goethe and Friedrich Wilhelm III. climbed there with Humboldt, you can...
