Vitice appeals to visitors with different interests: the Přehrady na Želivce cycling route can be assessed by its distance and scenery, while the Maříž–Golčův Jeníkov bridleway includes the village as part of a longer route. Stáj Capriola complements this equestrian connection with options for recreational riders and people with their own horse. This gives you both specific routes and equestrian services with overnight options to consider when planning.

Cycling and Scenery

The Přehrady na Želivce cycling route is 35 kilometres long and moderately challenging. It runs along roads as well as forest and field tracks; conditions and surfaces can vary. When choosing a ride, consider the distance, difficulty level and terrain together. The moderate rating provides an additional point of reference alongside the distance.

After a descent from Želiv, the route continues to Vitice, offering views of the wooded Želivka Valley along the way. Beyond Vitice, the road passes a horse paddock and then enters the forest. This provides two distinct landmarks: the valley view before arriving and the section with the paddock and forest entrance beyond the village. This sequence helps you take both the scenery and the road’s onward course into account when planning your route.

The JIH17 Želiv–Speřice section runs along a field track to Vitice. A validity start date of 7 June 2026 is given for this route information. Before setting out, check the section’s current status before including it in your plans.

Horse Riding and Overnight Stays

The red-marked Maříž–Golčův Jeníkov bridleway also passes through Vitice and is 226 kilometres long in total. This length applies to the entire bridleway, not just the section near Vitice. By comparison, the Přehrady na Želivce cycling route is 35 kilometres long and moderately challenging. The two figures therefore refer to different activities and route scales. To choose, first decide whether you are looking for a cycling route or a bridleway; only then can you meaningfully compare the respective distances.

Stáj Capriola caters to recreational riders and riders with their own horse. The facility has indoor and outdoor horse stalls, a pasture, a paddock and an outdoor riding arena. If you are planning to bring your own horse, you can take these facilities into account as specific aspects of your stay; for recreational riders, a carriage ride is another option. Check before you arrive whether a ride can be arranged, as advance coordination may be required.

At Stáj Capriola, riders can stay in a family house, pitch a tent or sleep under a shelter. If you plan to use a particular option, confirm its availability before you arrive. For riders with their own horse, accommodation and horse facilities are two separate planning considerations: the stalls are for the horses, while the overnight options are for the riders. So plan for both the horse facilities and the riders’ accommodation.
