The 11-kilometre cycling route 4272 passes through Malé Výkleky and over the embankment of Sopřečský rybník. This provides a concrete starting point for planning your trip: another cycling route runs mainly through open countryside, while the ponds and local history offer additional points of interest. If you are looking for accommodation for your stay, you can start by considering whether cycling, the landscape or local culture will shape your plans.
Cycling between a forest track and open countryside
From Výrov, cycling route 4272 runs along a forest track and over the embankment of Sopřečský rybník, continuing through Sopřeč and Vápno to Malé Výkleky and Chýšť. Its description therefore includes both specific landscape features and a sequence of named places. Rare waterbirds can be found at the pond, creating a connection with nature along this section.
Cycling route 4275 offers a different focus: it runs mainly through open countryside. When choosing between the routes based on the character of the landscape, you can compare the specific forest track and pond embankment on route 4272 with the open character of route 4275. The routes thus differ above all in the type of landscape they place at the centre.
Ponds in the cadastral area
Several ponds lie within the cadastral area of Malé Výkleky; Záhumeník is the largest. Sopřečský rybník plays a different role in the described route of cycling route 4272: the route crosses its embankment. The two pond names therefore serve as different points of reference—Záhumeník as the largest pond in the cadastral area, and Sopřečský rybník as part of the route. This distinction helps connect the landscape with the cycling route without confusing the two ponds.
Local history and cultural connections
In the earliest period, Malé Výkleky belonged to the Hradišťko estate, whose owners called themselves Žíželičtí ze Žíželic. The village was first mentioned in writing in 1654. In the southern part of Malé Výkleky, a statue of Saint John of Nepomuk stands beside road III/32727. Another dated landmark is the independent voluntary fire brigade, Sbor dobrovolných hasičů Malé Výkleky, founded in 1910. The statue and the founding of the fire brigade add further local points of reference to the village’s early connection with the estate and its first written mention.
Malé Výkleky has a local legend, “Bílá paní v Habetkách” (“The White Lady in Habetky”). It provides a distinct cultural point of interest alongside the historical connections and landscape. A community event held in Malé Výkleky is also “Rozloučení s prázdninami” (“Farewell to the Holidays”). If you would like to plan your stay around this event, check in advance whether it is scheduled during your travel dates.
