A cycle route and a yellow hiking trail pass through Paseky; the surrounding area features forests and sweeping views across the Bohemian Forest. Other local attractions include a chapel, a monument to General Žák and a rest area in the U Pece area. This combination of outdoor activities, scenery and local cultural landmarks offers several ways to plan your trip.

Trails through Paseky and the surrounding area

Cycle route number 1091 passes through Paseky, and a yellow hiking trail also runs through the village. A regional route is called “Malby a verše českého baroka v Albrechticích n. Vltavou,” meaning “Paintings and verses of Czech Baroque in Albrechtice n. Vltavou.” It adds a cultural dimension to the route, which passes through Nuzov and Paseky. Check the route and signage before setting out. The route number, yellow markings and thematic title offer different points of reference when choosing a tour.

Forests, foraging and sweeping views

The surrounding forests are ideal for hiking and for gathering mushrooms and other forest produce. These activities offer different experiences: hiking focuses on travelling through the forest, while foraging involves a seasonal search for mushrooms and other forest produce. From the area around Paseky, you can enjoy sweeping views across the entire Bohemian Forest, from Kleť to the Sušice area. This broad perspective complements views of individual forests with a wider view of the landscape. You can choose between an activity immersed in the forest landscape and views across the region.

The scale is also useful when planning: the cycle route and yellow hiking trail pass through Paseky, while forest activities and views take in the surrounding area. This makes it easy to distinguish between routes in the village and nature-related attractions in the surrounding landscape.

Rest area and local culture

In the U Pece area, the municipality of Paseky has set up a rest area with a pavilion and a slide for children and adults. It provides a convenient place to pause alongside the routes. The village is also home to a local chapel and a monument to General Žák. The chapel represents the area’s religious heritage, while the monument commemorates a historical figure. The village landscape thus brings together a practical rest area and two cultural landmarks.

Events and local traditions

On 20 May 2023, Paseky hosted the cycling and hiking event “Přes Písecké hory na kole a pěšky” (“Across the Písek Hills by bike and on foot”). If you would like to plan your trip around an event, check the date in advance. On Holy Saturday, Paseky also held a neighbourhood tasting of Easter sekanina; by 2023, this tradition was already more than five years old. These are two distinct community occasions: a sporting event for cycling and hiking enthusiasts and a local culinary tradition.
