Trokavec brings together two perspectives on a stay: the history of the village and hiking destinations in the surrounding landscape. A hiking route starts and ends in the village. When planning your trip, you can therefore choose how to balance local history, nature destinations and a hike that begins and ends in Trokavec.
Village Centre and Memorials
The original village centre of Trokavec is an elongated circular village lined with former farmsteads. The historical perspective focuses on the shape of the entire village centre and its former farmstead layout. For travellers interested in village history, this settlement pattern is a distinct focus alongside the hiking destinations.
A memorial to those who fell in the First World War stands in front of the former school building, now the municipal office. East of the village green, a newly built bell tower commemorates an earlier tower that was demolished in the 1950s. The two sites have different points of focus: the memorial commemorates those who fell, while the bell tower recalls an earlier part of village life.
Hiking Destinations in the Landscape
The Brdy Protected Landscape Area lies just beyond Trokavec; the village is a starting point for visits to the protected area. This makes the landscape, alongside the historic village centre, a key part of the travel experience. Nearby are Trokavecká skála and Okrouhlík, whose elevations and features allow for a direct comparison.
Trokavecká skála reaches 706 metres and is a destination for a climb from Trokavec. Nearby Okrouhlík is 707 metres high. Buližník rock formations stand out there and offer an interesting view. The difference in elevation is just one metre; the features described, however, differ: the climb is the main focus at Trokavecká skála, while at Okrouhlík it is the combination of rock formations and the view.
The landscape’s history also includes a military training area that existed there from 1927 to 2016. This historical layer adds the area’s former use to the picture of the village centre and nature destinations. If, on your trip, you are looking for more than viewpoints and are also interested in the history of the landscape, this provides another point of interest.
Hiking from the Village Centre
The “K Padrťským rybníkům pěšky” hiking route begins and ends in Trokavec. It starts in the village centre and initially follows marked cycle route 2154. The route is considered easy, with only slight, gradual climbs. This gives you the start, endpoint and route character you need for planning. Hospůdka Na Pančavě is a place to stop for refreshments along the hiking route. Check whether it is open before your trip.
Choose a Holiday Apartment to Suit Your Travel Plans
If hiking is to be the focus of your stay, the start in the village centre is a useful reference point. For a visit focused on village history or the landscape, the destinations you plan to visit are what matter.
