A trail through the history of coal mining ends at Vodní park Čabárna in Cvrčovice: here, a historic route meets water-related themes. The town adds to this combination with a water tower built in 1932 and an elevated position above the valley of the Týnecký potok. When choosing a place to stay, you can focus on mining history, the town’s technical heritage, or topics related to ponds.

Mining history and the town’s technical heritage

The trail “Po lesních cestách do historie dolování uhlí na Kladensku” runs from the former Ludmila mine on the edge of Cvrčovice, along the embankment of a former industrial railway, to the Ferdinandka settlement. It ends in Cvrčovice at Vodní park Čabárna. Check the route locally before planning your visit.

The Czech name can be understood as “Along forest paths into the history of coal mining in the Kladno area.” The trail presents the history of coal mining in the Kladno hard-coal basin, particularly in the Vrapice area. The basin provides the broader historical context, while Vrapice is the specific area highlighted.

The Cvrčovice water tower offers another perspective. It was built in 1932 with funds from the municipal administration. Its construction date and funding give this technical structure a specific historical context; by contrast, the trail focuses on the history of coal mining. Both offer a distinct way to explore the town’s history.
