The detour through Beroun is 0.4 km longer than continuing along the cycling route. The ornate Brandlhof farmhouse is located on the village square; a mass chapel once stood nearby. The Zahrádecká kyselka spring, located in the forest within the cadastral area of Beroun u Starého Sedla, adds another nature-related point of interest. This brings together a specific route choice, local architectural history and a forest location with its own access route.
Beroun as a Cycling Detour
At the crossroads near Beroun, cyclists can turn off the cycling route and ride through the village. A road from the crossroads at the village entrance leads back to the cycling route. When planning your stages, you can therefore weigh up riding through the village against continuing along the cycling route: the detour is 0.4 km longer. If you want to ride through Beroun, you can take this extra distance into account; if you continue directly, you choose the shorter of the two options. Conditions on the ground and signage may change, so check the current route conditions before setting off.
Brandlhof and the Mass Chapel
The ornate Brandlhof farmhouse is located on Beroun’s village square. A large mass chapel with a small tower once stood near the square. It was repaired in 1867 and demolished in the 1970s; today, overgrown foundations remain on the site. The farmhouse and the chapel site offer different ways to explore local history: an ornate farmhouse on the square and the remains of a building that no longer stands nearby. The sequence of events—repairs in 1867, demolition in the 1970s, and the foundations that remain today—helps distinguish the former building from its present-day state. Those interested in architectural history will find both an ornate farmhouse and traces of a vanished chapel here.
The Zahrádecká kyselka Spring
The Zahrádecká kyselka spring is located in the forest within the cadastral area of Beroun u Starého Sedla. Locally, it is better known as Berounská kyselka; both names can help you identify the same place. The spring was restored in 1999 and can be reached via unmarked forest paths. Conditions on these paths may change, so it is advisable to check the current route conditions before visiting. The name and location serve different purposes for orientation: Berounská kyselka is the more commonly used local name, while Beroun u Starého Sedla identifies the cadastral area. The 1999 restoration is part of the spring’s history; for planning a visit, the main considerations are the unmarked paths and their changeable condition. A cadastral area is a geographically defined unit of the land registry. For orientation, this term should be understood differently from a place name: it identifies the area in which a site is located, not the site itself.
