A marked route passes through Košov, Hrádka, Ředice and Kozlov, and continues to the Smetanova vyhlídka viewpoint. At the same time, the Kozlov archaeological site offers a cultural connection, while the Cidlinský hřeben Natural Monument is a focus for nature. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Košov, you can tailor your stay to your travel interests: a specific sequence of places along a route, a longer route option, the protected landscape or the features of the castle site. The following details can help you distinguish between these priorities when planning.
Hiking: Route and Distance
A marked route passes through Košov, Hrádka, Ředice and Kozlov, and continues to the Smetanova vyhlídka viewpoint. The sequence of places provides guidance through specific names; this is a different approach from a simple distance in kilometres, especially when you are comparing hiking suggestions. The Golden Trail of the Bohemian Paradise also passes through Košov; one listed option is 26.5 kilometres long. The two descriptions help answer different questions: Which places does a route name, and how long is a particular option?
In the wider surrounding region, in the Lomnicko area, the local Klub českých turistů (Czech Tourist Club) maintains the network of marked hiking trails. For planning, it is worth considering the different scales: the route names stops along the way through Košov, while the club’s information refers to the larger Lomnicko trail network. This lets you consider specific place names and the regional hiking context separately.
Cidlinský hřeben Natural Monument
The Cidlinský hřeben Natural Monument lies between Pekloves and Košov. Its protected features include a forest complex with significant herbaceous undergrowth, as well as the largest population of wood ants in the Podkrkonoší region. The nature conservation focus is therefore tied to specific features: the forest, the vegetation in its undergrowth and the regional ant population. If nature is important to your trip, this description gives you a specific focus alongside the hiking trails.
Kozlov Archaeological Site
The Kozlov archaeological site lies within the cadastral area of Košov and is classified as a significant archaeological location. Kozlov Castle had an oval, single-aisle layout, bounded for the most part by a ditch and rampart. There was also an underground passage cut into the rock that led into a deep shaft. The combination of an oval shape, ditch and rampart outlines the castle’s form; the passage into the shaft adds a distinct feature underground. These specific features help put the archaeological site into context.
The Winter Ascent of Tábor
The traditional Winter Ascent of Tábor took place for the 43rd time on 21 February 2026. For this edition, the participant registration was scheduled from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Košovská hospoda in Košov. Participants could take part on foot, on skis or by bicycle.
