Czech Republic

                                                                    South Bohemia

Tips: South Bohemia is easy to get to by the highways of the Netherlands, Germany and Austria. Arriving there you will find a region full of old cities and a splendid, protected nature. You can start and end your trail in one of those old cities. We started at Cesky Krumlov.

Like everywhere in the Czech Republic you easy can buy walking maps in kiosks and shops. The maps are good, the routes are shown in colors and the marks very well maintained.
We mostly slept (and ate) in private pensions: you’ll find plenty of them.

E
aster  1992: a round-walk in a part of southern Bohemia, especially through the surroundings of the beautiful city of Cesky Krumlov. With a little site-step to Bavaria in Germany and a short walk in Austria.

Height during the route: 600-1085-1360m.

 


Day1: Cesky Krumlov-Brloh through Klet (1085m.)

Day2: Brloh-Volary

Day3: Volary-Haidmuhle (Germany)

Day4: Haidmuhle-Horni Plana: a short walk in
          Austria

Day5: Horni Plana-Cesky Krumlov (first kilometers
          by train)

On the way: on height a lot of snow at Easter, but very fine views; at lake Lipno, for instance. The run  to the mountains leads you through almost virginal nature. Now and then a village where time seemed to be standing still.

Haidmuhle (Germany) has a train-connection to Cesky Krumlov and Volary.

(Don’t visit the hotel at the center-place in Haidmuhle).

A place to be, to sleep and to eat , after a day walking is: the pension of the Kuklov family , Brloh 38206, Tel.++33787160. We don’t now at this time (2009) if those people are still open or not.
