Planning a trip to Mýtinka means exploring a stream landscape, a low hill with a view, and two different routes: a hike via Antonínova Výšina to SOOS and Cycle Route 23. Mýtinka lies north of road I/64; the Stodolský stream flows through the village. Those looking to combine nature and outdoor activities can distinguish the landscape features in the village from the routes in the surrounding area.
Landscape between the stream and the hill
The local “Na Stodolském potoce” biocentre spans the cadastral areas of Zelený Háj and Mýtinka u Poustky. It consists of a shallow, wooded valley with a strip of alders along the stream.
Antonínova Výšina, in the Mýtinka u Poustky area, is a low rise above a shallow stream valley and a continuously wooded area along the stream. It offers views of the Cheb region. The landscape therefore has two distinct features: the biocentre is defined by the valley, woodland, and strip of alders, while Antonínova Výšina combines a low hill with views of Cheb.
Hiking and cycling
In the vicinity of Mýtinka, a 16-kilometre excursion runs from Františkovy Lázně to the SOOS National Nature Reserve. The route passes via Antonínova Výšina along a green-marked hiking trail. Check the current trail markings before setting out.
For a cycling trip, National Cycle Route 23 (Krušné hory Magistrale) is another option. On the Cheb–Luby section, it passes Mýtinka (Rossenreuth) at kilometre 15. Immediately after crossing the busy Cheb–Aš road, the route passes Statek Mýtinka. Check the current signs and road conditions before setting off.
The tours are distinct elements to consider when planning: the described excursion leads to SOOS on foot, while Route 23 runs along the Cheb–Luby section by bike. Your choice therefore depends first on your preferred mode of transport and destination.
History and events
Mýtinka was first mentioned in historical texts in 1395. The village was once a small settlement with six farms. These two details highlight different aspects of its history: the year marks the first mention, while the farms indicate the settlement’s former size.
Nearby, Seeberg Castle hosts a traditional historical fair, a wine festival, and various concerts and events for children and adults every year. Dates vary from year to year, so check the specific event dates for your travel period.
Accommodation in Mýtinka
Statek Mýtinka is one specific accommodation option, offering apartments with views. Check current availability and details of the amenities before booking. This lets you coordinate your accommodation with your planned activities and take the accommodation details for your travel period into account.
