About the trip

A waymarked loop around Rokytnice with stops carrying information boards – on the town's history, glassmaking, the local timbered houses and the forest around. The waymarking is a diagonal green stripe. For children it is a walk with something to read and look at: every board is a reason to stop, so it goes in short pieces and even smaller children manage the ten kilometres. It runs on made-up paths and forest tracks, with no exposed sections.

Personal tip from us

With children, walk it the other way round – most of the boards come early, while nobody's legs hurt yet.

Tips

  • The waymarking is a diagonal green stripe and the loop is about 10 kilometres.
  • The boards are the point of the walk – with children, allow more time.
  • It can be cut short: from Rokytnice you can return straight to the apartments.
  • In Rokytnice you can branch onto the Trail of Rokytnice natives or climb the town hall tower.

Safety

  • Part of the loop runs briefly along a road in the village – watch for cars.
  • In winter the unsurfaced sections are muddy or frozen hard.
