Cernolice offers several specific points of interest for a stay: a traditional climbing area, a nature trail featuring local history, landscapes around Potoky and Stivínka, and activities at Kamenitý Vrch. Cycling and hiking information is also available, though with different focuses. You can first decide whether climbing, history, landscape, or a particular activity offering is the main consideration for planning your trip.
Climbing and Landscape
Čertovy skály near Cernolice form a traditional climbing area with easier and moderately difficult routes. This gives the village a clear appeal for travelers who choose climbing as their main activity. The landscapes in and around the named local areas offer a different perspective.
Potoky is the lowest-lying locality, at 300–350 m above sea level in a deep canyon carved by the Všenorský stream. Junipers, cypresses, and unusual pine trees grow there. The Stivínka area in Cernolice covers 13 ha and includes two streams, forest, undulating terrain, steep slopes, and trees, shrubs, and flowers. Potoky is thus characterized by its elevation and canyon, while Stivínka is distinguished by the variety of its landscape features.
Nature Trail and Local History
The “Putování Černolickem” nature trail was designed and established for Cernolice in 2001–2002. Its “Černolice – náves” stop covers the history of the village. The “Černolice – Potoky” stop focuses on the origins and development of the Potoky settlement and the character of Stivínka. The topics thus shift from local history to settlement development and landscape.
Historical routes are also part of the village’s history. One historic route was called “Zlatá stezka” and was used to bring salt to Bohemia. A major trade and military road also ran through the Cernolice area alongside the Všenorský stream in the direction of Řitka. Together with the nature trail stops, these topics give travelers interested in culture several specific ways to explore the village’s history.
Activities and Practical Information
Kamenitý Vrch in Cernolice offers hippotherapy and other therapeutic and recreational activities for children with health impairments and their families. The offerings also include horseback rides for individuals and families, as well as experiential workshops and other activities for children and adults. Offerings may change. Before visiting, check whether your preferred activity is currently available; horseback rides should be confirmed in advance.
Cycling route 8129 passes through Cernolice. However, the section toward Korunka is not primarily intended for cyclists. Bear this restriction in mind if you include the route in your plans. There is also a hiking tip for the Černolické skály natural monument: for example, it can be reached from Všenory via a yellow-marked hiking trail.
When looking for a holiday apartment in Cernolice, your planned focus may help you decide: Čertovy skály are associated with climbing, the nature trail and historic routes with local history, and Potoky and Stivínka with different landscape features. If you plan to take part in an activity at Kamenitý Vrch, check its current availability before visiting.
