Klínec lies about 20 kilometres southwest of Prague, in a picturesque landscape of woodlands adjoining the Brdy area. When planning your stay, you can focus on different things: the landscape and valley, local history, or specific activities such as cycling and horse riding. The places and activities differ in type and scale.
Ponds and the history of gold washing
The chapel in Klínec stands above the smaller of the two local ponds. Its location provides a specific point of reference for anyone wishing to explore individual cultural sites as well as the landscape.
Čertova díra tells a different story. The tunnel was carved artificially out of the rock and served to wash gold-bearing sand from the forest hollow called Peklo below Klínec. The remains can be reached via the red cycling route. Here, the rock-cut structure and its former use go hand in hand: the site is not just a rock formation, but is also connected with the history of gold washing.
Bojovské Valley and its railway landscape
Bojovské Valley is an attractive tourist destination near Klínec. The Prague–Dobříš railway line runs through the valley. Klínec railway stop is in a deeply cut, wooded and completely uninhabited valley of the Bojovský stream. The valley and the stop therefore each provide their own geographical reference point for finding your way around the area.
Cycling route and route options
The Červený okruh (Red Circuit) is 43 kilometres long and marked throughout with a red cycle-tourism symbol. The route can be shortened at several points. For planning purposes, you can consider the full route as one option, but you do not have to commit to that exact distance. The route markings and the option to shorten the ride are two practical features of this cycling route.
Horse rides, pony walks and farm animals
Ranč pod lípou in Klínec offers children guided pony walks, including trips into the countryside. It also offers horse rides through the beautiful and varied landscape of Podbrdí. These activities are suitable for beginners and more experienced riders, as well as children and adults. The rides can be booked; check the specific arrangements with Ranč before your trip. This gives you a choice between a guided pony walk for children and a horse ride for different experience levels.
At Farma Klínec, visitors can see the farm animals. If you plan to visit, ask about access in advance. This is a separate activity to consider alongside the trails, the history of gold washing and the horse-riding options.
Planning your stay in Klínec
When looking for a holiday apartment in Klínec, it helps to first decide what you are interested in during your stay. Would you mainly like to explore the landscape and local history, plan a cycling route, or focus on a horse-riding activity? Each of these priorities leads to different considerations for planning your trip, and you do not have to fit every activity into a single itinerary. Choose the kind of stay that matches the things you actually want to experience.
