A nature trail runs through Bohutín, trails lead from here into the Brdy Mountains, and the mining history can be explored at several named sites. The Church of Saint Mary Magdalene and Vysokopecký Pond, which also serves as a swimming spot, round out the area’s attractions. Bohutín therefore offers different options when choosing where to stay: time outdoors, mining history, pilgrimage and a swimming spot. Consider which of these themes matters most to your trip.

Nature Trail, Cycling Route and Trails into the Brdy Mountains

The Fabiánova Educational Trail runs through Bohutín. It highlights local points of interest and introduces tourists and cyclists to the region’s distinctive landscapes. The trail brings individual attractions together with views of the regional landscape. If you enjoy learning about your surroundings while you’re out and about, it offers a particular focus for planning your trip.

Bohutín is also connected by a named route for cyclists: the signposted Příbram–Bohutín cycle route No. 302a passes through the village. In addition, trails for cyclists and pedestrians lead from Bohutín into the Brdy Mountains. For orientation, it is useful to distinguish between these details: the cycle route names Příbram and Bohutín as its endpoints, while the other trails lead from Bohutín towards the mountains. Depending on your plans, you can focus on either a signposted cycle route or trails into the Brdy Mountains.

Vysokopecký Pond also serves as a swimming spot, offering a different reason to visit alongside the trails. This means Bohutín offers outdoor activities and a swimming spot as distinct options. When choosing a destination, you can decide which one will shape your stay according to your own interests.

Mining History in Bohutín

The underground Řimbabská Adit follows the so-called Hlavní Řimbabská Vein for about 300 m. Visits must always be booked in advance. If you plan to visit, make sure to arrange this booking ahead of your stay.

The Rudolfka lookout tower is also a reminder of the mining industry: it stands on the former headframe of a mine in Bohutín. The tower is 40 m high and is climbed via a transparent spiral staircase. The Muzeum mikroregionu Bohutínska is located on the site of the former Řimbaba mine. These named places offer different ways to explore Bohutín’s mining history: an underground mine, a lookout tower and a museum on a former mine site.

The broader historical context extends beyond individual sites. Ores containing silver have been processed at least since the 13th century in the Březová Hory ore district, which includes the polymetallic deposits of Březové Hory and Bohutín. This places local history in the context of an ore district encompassing several named deposits.

Church and Pilgrimage

The Church of Saint Mary Magdalene was rebuilt in its original neo-Gothic form after a fire in 1950 and reconsecrated. For visitors interested in local history, this reconstruction offers a specific historical point of reference. It complements the mining history with another aspect of Bohutín: the story of a religious building and its restoration.

The pilgrimage in honour of Saint Mary Magdalene is still celebrated on the first Sunday after 22 July. If you are interested in this tradition, you can take the date into account when planning your trip. Alongside the trails, swimming spot and mining heritage, the pilgrimage shows the range of themes Bohutín offers visitors.
