Jeskyně Na Špičáku and the Po stopách doby ledové nature trail give Písečná a clear focus on nature. The trail leads to the cave and connects the natural theme with a specific route through the landscape. In addition, Na Špičáku is a regionally important winter roost for bats, while the Kostel sv. Jana Křtitele church offers a distinct focus on cultural history. The landscape, natural environment and architectural history therefore offer different themes for a stay.

Cave and nature trail

Jeskyně Na Špičáku runs through Velký Špičák, a 516-metre-high mountain between Písečná and Supíkovice in the Supíkovická pahorkatina. The cave was first mentioned in writing in 1430. The six-kilometre Po stopách doby ledové nature trail leads to the cave; it opened in June 2026. Jeskyně Na Špičáku was first mentioned in writing in 1430; the Po stopách doby ledové nature trail opened in June 2026. Valleys, rock formations, moraine ridges and spring areas shape the landscape along the route. The trail thus combines a clear destination with changing landscape features.

Jezero Florián is another point of interest along the nature trail: the route offers a view of the lake, which was formed by sandstone quarrying. This makes it possible to connect the view with the lake’s origins. The information panels are supplemented by educational and entertaining play features, so the route offers explanatory and playful content alongside its landscape features. The trail facilities include a rest stop for cyclists with a bicycle rack and solar charger. As facilities and trail conditions may change, check the latest information before setting out.

Na Špičáku natural area

The Na Špičáku area is designated as a European Site of Community Importance. It is home to a regionally important winter roost for the lesser horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus hipposideros). The designation identifies the area’s European status, while the winter roost is of specific importance to this bat species. For travellers interested not only in landscape features but also in habitats and species, this offers a distinct nature focus, different from the experience of walking the nature trail.

Church and architectural history

The Kostel sv. Jana Křtitele church in Písečná offers a distinct cultural focus. It was remodelled into its present form in 1751–1752. The protected site includes the cemetery, the surrounding wall, the mortuary and the exterior staircase on the west side.

The difference between these options is clear: the nature trail offers a route through varied landscapes, Na Špičáku represents European protection status and a bat winter roost, and the church offers architectural history. You can choose whether a nature trail, natural area or church history will shape your stay.
