Two highlights shape a stay in Prosíčka: the 18.5 km Cesta pátera Josefa Toufara hiking route and the area's history, with its various historical and religious connections. These include Dolní Prosíčka, Horní Prosíčka and Nezdín. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, first consider whether hiking or visiting several historical sites will be the focus of your stay.

Hiking the Cesta pátera Josefa Toufara

The Cesta pátera Josefa Toufara runs from Leština u Světlé nad Sázavou via Dobrnice, Kynice, Číhošť, Prosíčka, Nezdín, Opatovice, Dubice rozc. and Benetice to Smrčná railway station. The 18.5 km refers to the entire route. Prosíčka is one part of the route, not its starting or ending point. The total length is therefore important when planning: treat it as a hike in its own right, rather than considering only the section that passes through Prosíčka. Check the current route and its condition before setting out.

Prosíčka is also home to a wooden sculpture of a firefighter. For hikers who also keep an eye out for local details, it is a distinctive sight in the village. It adds a separate point of interest in Prosíčka to the route description, without requiring you to focus on the entire route.

Historical traces

Dolní Prosíčka and Horní Prosíčka were once two independent villages. Payments from the village of Dolní Prosíčka are recorded for the year 1545. Another historical date is 1587, when Vodákův mlýn is first mentioned. The two dates refer to different things: 1545 to payments from Dolní Prosíčka, and 1587 to the mill. This keeps the timeline clear without turning the information into a continuous sequence of events.

Over the course of its history, the same mill was also known as Franclův mlýn, Šotolův mlýn and Brodilův mlýn. These different names therefore refer to a single historical site. If you are exploring local place names, you can consider these variants together rather than assuming they are the names of different mills.

Nezdínská studánka and local buildings

Nezdínská studánka is in a wooded valley below Nezdín, where the Nezdínský potok stream rises. The spring water is slightly radioactive and is not recommended for drinking. A chapel was built at Nezdínská studánka in 1929. It is in Nezdín, within the municipality of Prosíčka.

There are also other structures in Horní Prosíčka: a bell tower still stands there, with a bell purchased in 1950. There is also a stone cross next to house No. 14. The place names help distinguish these sites: the chapel is in Nezdín, while the bell tower and cross are in Horní Prosíčka. If you plan to visit several of these places, use their respective place names to guide you, rather than treating them as a single stop.

Choose a holiday apartment to suit your plans

When looking for a holiday apartment in Prosíčka, it helps to decide on your plans first. Will the entire Cesta pátera Josefa Toufara be the main focus, or would you like to allow more time for the area's history and individual buildings? This will help you choose accommodation that suits what you actually plan to do during your stay.
