Maybe it was too early to check our favorite location for easy riding – Brdy. It was sunny, but pretty cold. And on top of it, we tried a little piece which we did not check earlier, and it was still very muddy. But if you would like to follow our trip, it may beContinue reading “Back in Brdy”

Mníšek Líšnice Loop
If you follow our trips, you already know that our starting point in Mníšek pod Brdy is close to the entrance to the castle. This time, however, most of our E-bike trip was on the other side of the highway. And, even though it was Saturday, we did not meet too many people there, unlikeContinue reading “Mníšek Líšnice Loop”
Strašice to Láz and back (2x across Brdy)
This time we started in the parking lot in Strašice because we were picking another E-bike for our friend visiting from the America. And it is not a bad idea to start from there since our usual parking at the entrance to CHKO can be pretty crowded. Besides, if you need to rent the bike,Continue reading “Strašice to Láz and back (2x across Brdy)”
Brdy from Řevnice
This E-bike trip is a compilation of several visits of the North side of Brdy. Starting from Řevnice is quite convenient – you can get there by car or train (restaurant at the train station is actually a new brewery – highly recommended). We tried to find the path up to the top of theContinue reading “Brdy from Řevnice”
El Paso, Mexico – Brdy
Well, we did not go to another continent to visit El Paso, it is actually “trampská osada” (tramp settlement) from the 1920ies, formed by three friends in the place of abandoned quarry which was ruined by the water eruption forming a tiny lake in the bottom of the quarry. The lake is still there togetherContinue reading “El Paso, Mexico – Brdy”
Dobříš to Hluboš (Torture)
Oh yes, Brdy again… This time we explored the part around Čenkov and Hluboš, where for some reason we never went before. And the reason for that revealed itself very soon. The red tourist mark from 5 to 15 is really not intended for biking… Most of it is actually rideable, but several pieces areContinue reading “Dobříš to Hluboš (Torture)”
Kytín – Mníšek – Dobříš
Kytín is a convenient starting point for exploring Brdy mountain range. The best parking you will find close to the local brewery (hint, hint…). We have blogged about out rides in Brdy many times, you can see some earlier blogs here, here, here, or here… This time we wanted to visit Dobříš, the town famousContinue reading “Kytín – Mníšek – Dobříš”
Brdy – Loop from Zaječov
We thought that we explored Brdy very comprehensively already. However, this E-bike trip showed us that we are still not done. We started from Zaječov, where we found very convenient parking lot. 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”
Brdy – The Kingdom of Digitalis
Yes, Brdy mountain range is taken over during June by Digitalis purpurea, called Náprstník červený in Czech. So, if you want to see fields and fields of flowering Digitalis, this is the time to go to Brdy. You cannot miss them, they are everywhere. We started this E-bike ride at the convenient parking lot atContinue reading “Brdy – The Kingdom of Digitalis”
Mirošov, Brdy
This was one of the nicest rides in Brdy. Well, most of the rides in Brdy are pretty pleasant, even in winter. But sometimes you can get into tricky situations even here… We started in Mirošov and took a little detour through Dobřív, where you can visit the unique technical rarity – vodní hamr (water-poweredContinue reading “Mirošov, Brdy”
Brdy Loop from Kytín
It is this time of the year again when you can stop almost anywhere to pick and taste the blackberries or yellow or red mirabelles. This loop through Brdy will give you many opportunities to binge on these fruits. We started this ride in the tiny parking lot in Kytín, next to the brewery-restaurant Kytín.Continue reading “Brdy Loop from Kytín”
Dobřív Brdy
This is the ride from earlier this year, which we for some reason did not report. The highlight of this trip was vodní hamr Dobřív (at point 2), which is part of the West Bohemian Museum in Pilsen. It is actually the largest and most important monument of its kind in the Czech Republic. AndContinue reading “Dobřív Brdy”
Brdy loop ride
This time we wanted to ride our favorite stretch of Brdy circle in the opposite direction then earlier. When you start from very convenient parking at the Mníšek castle, you may be tempted to take your refreshment in the bakery/sweet shop Jarolímek even before you jump on your bike. At the beginning you will rideContinue reading “Brdy loop ride”
Rožmitál pod Třemšínem
Brdy is probably our favorite destination. It is not far from Prague and there are so many possibilities for a nice not crowded ride. This time we started from Rožmitál pod Třemšínem, a small town at the western edge of Brdy. 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. Occasionally medieval battle reenactments are played here… Mníšek is a great starting point to go into the Brdy mountain range for hiking or biking. However, we started in the opposite direction to visit the crossing at St. Venceslas under Pleš mountain where weContinue reading “Mníšek pod Brdy”
Obecnice – Brdy
With daylight savings and cooler autumn weather, we are going back to shorter trips from Prague and into the Brdy mountains as there are still so many different routes to explore. Most of the Brdy mountains is covered by forest, and it is one of the largest contiguously forested areas in the interior of theContinue reading “Obecnice – Brdy”
