Brdy – Loop from Zaječov

The trip has an interesting elevation profile with close to 1km elevation gain. When you reach the top of the climb for theContinue reading “Brdy – Loop from Zaječov”

Rožmitál pod Třemšínem – Brdy

We wanted to complete our exploration of Brdy by covering the southwesternmost part of this mountain range. We visited Rožmitál pod Třemšínem earlier, but never got to the top of Třemšín. So, this was the day to fix that omission. You can usually park on the square in Rožmitál, but this time all the parkingContinue reading “Rožmitál pod Třemšínem – Brdy”

Mirošov, Brdy

This was one of the nicest rides in Brdy. Well, most of the rides in Brdy are pretty pleasant, even in winter.

Brdy, Jince and Plešivec

If you never heard about Jakub Jan Ryba, it probably means that you didContinue reading “Rožmitál pod Třemšínem”

Mníšek pod Brdy

This ride starts from the parking lot in front of Mníšek castle.
