The Novostrašecko nature trail begins at Nové Strašecí railway station; a marked nature trail in Nové Strašecí and Pecínov leads through the town and countryside. These route details already provide several useful planning pointers: a specific starting point, a route with different types of paths, and cultural destinations. If you are looking for a hotel in Nové Strašecí, you can first consider which of these discoveries you would like to shape your stay.

Getting to know the nature trails and countryside

The Novostrašecko nature trail has 17 information panels. Its starting point at the railway station makes the route’s beginning clear; the panels add information along the way. The same nature trail is also marked for cycling. Since the local signage should be confirmed, check it before setting out on a bike ride rather than relying on it without checking.

Different route details are given for the marked nature trail in Nové Strašecí and Pecínov: it is approximately ten kilometres long and has nine stops. It introduces local history, natural features and places of interest. The route passes through the town and countryside, along field and forest tracks, as well as trails. Its length and number of stops answer different questions: the approximate distance describes the extent of the route, while the nine stops identify its thematic points along the way. This makes it possible to see the route not only as a countryside walk but also as a way to explore local themes.

Places of cultural and historical interest

The Chapel of Saint Isidore in Nové Strašecí was built in 1711 in honour of the patron saint of farmers. Its dedication gives the site a clear cultural and historical connection. Above Pecínov lies the newer Jewish cemetery, established in the mid-19th century. It has survived to this day without any major damage. The chapel and cemetery offer different historical perspectives and complement the nature trails’ themes with specific places. If history is of particular interest to you, you can take these destinations into account when deciding what you would like to focus on during your stay.

Views and further discoveries

The observation tower on Mackova hora is another nearby excursion destination. It is 36 metres high; its viewing platform is 21 metres above the ground and reached by 98 spiral steps. These measurements distinguish the tower’s total height from the height of its platform. From there, the view extends over Džbán Nature Park, the Křivoklátské forests and part of Nové Strašecí. Access arrangements may change, so check the conditions before your visit.

Muzeum Nové Strašecí also holds workshops. The specific programme may change, so check in advance which workshops are currently on offer. Together with the nature trails, the museum broadens the range of possible themes with events, without establishing a fixed itinerary for your stay.

Choose accommodation to suit your interests

These differences can help you choose destinations that suit your interests without combining all the places into a fixed itinerary. Before your trip, also check the access arrangements for the observation tower, the signage for the Novostrašecko nature trail, and the museum’s current workshop programme.
