Suchá is a former mining settlement in wooded hills and is now primarily a place for recreation. Local destinations include the church, a place to visit on a walk to the edge of the settlement, and a small pond reached by a path from “Pašerák”. There are also two cycling connections and a regional winter route. When planning your trip, it is worth distinguishing these options by their directions: walks lead to individual destinations in Suchá, cycling route 2005 describes a route to the settlement, cycling route 2011 names a connection point, and the winter route starts and ends at a named junction.

Culture and places to visit on foot

The “Nejsvětějšího srdce Ježíšovo” church dates from the 1920s. A walk to the edge of the settlement takes you to this destination, among others. The church’s construction dates it to the 1920s, while Suchá’s mining heritage characterizes the origins of the settlement. Thus, a walk through the settlement brings together two distinct historical reference points.

Another path leads left from “Pašerák”, between the houses, to a small, picturesque pond. Here, “Pašerák” is the landmark; for the walk to the church, the edge of the settlement is the stated destination. If you plan to visit both local destinations, this distinction will help you keep the directions in mind: the pond is reached by going left between the houses, while the church is reached by walking to the edge of the settlement.

Cycling to Suchá and through the settlement

After the section along the former railway line to Jáchymov, cycling route 2005 climbs along Dvořákova ulice to the settlement of Suchá. The regional cycling route runs mostly along paved gravel and forest tracks. This information about the surfaces can help you choose your route; conditions may change, so check them before setting out.

You can join cycling route 2011 in the settlement of Suchá, by the football pitch. The two directions answer different planning questions: cycling route 2005 describes the climb to the settlement, while cycling route 2011 names the connection point in the settlement. You can therefore treat the route via Dvořákova ulice and the connection by the football pitch as separate reference points for planning your cycling trip.

Winter route at the Suchá–Léno junction

The regional winter route “Ze Suché na úpatí Meluzíny a Macechy” starts and ends in Suchá u Jáchymova, at the Suchá–Léno junction. The junction is therefore the shared reference point for both the start and finish. This distinguishes the route from the local walking destinations and from the cycling route 2011 connection by the football pitch. As seasonal conditions can vary, check the conditions before planning a winter trip.

Choosing Suchá for your stay

When deciding whether Suchá is right for your stay, you can choose between several different focuses: local history, a path to the pond, cycling connections and a winter route. If you are looking for a holiday apartment for your stay in Suchá, it is best to decide first what brings you on your trip: would you mainly like to explore local destinations on foot, go cycling, or make the winter route your main focus? This way, you do not have to combine the different options into a single fixed itinerary.
