"The darkest shadows of the mountains, there birch leans to pine, pine to birch. Wave after wave rushes down the stream. Every creature boils with love - in the time of love."\n\u2014<\/strong> Karel Hynek M\u00c1CHA (May) <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
As part of this year's small M\u00e1chov journey, we will set off to several remarkable parts of the M\u00e1chov region that we have not visited yet. On the first day, we will first walk along the well-known Koko\u0159\u00ednsko route from Lib\u011bchov via Vid\u00edm to Housku. On the second day, via the Doksy recreation center (originally Hirschberg) by M\u00e1chov Lake, we will enter the beautiful wilderness hidden behind the backdrop of the Bezd\u011bz and M\u00e1chov Lake doubles - the B\u0159ehyn\u011b-Pecopala National Nature Reserve. It consists of the unique ecosystem of the B\u0159ehyn\u011b Pond, which is a nesting site for many birds (white-tailed eagles), and a sandstone plateau with the neovolcanic basalt peak of Pecopala (Pece), covered with pines and beech forests; we will walk through the Hrad\u010dany beech forest and the Hrad\u010dany walls with a number of small rock towns, overhangs and ravines (for example, a wolf was spotted here). The next day we will visit the Provod\u00ednsk\u00e9 stones with seven neovolcanic rocks with the dominant Lysa sk\u00e1la, we will descend to the Jest\u0159ebsk\u00e1 basin and walk along the edge of the unique national nature reserve Novoz\u00e1meck\u00fd rybn\u00edk, which is an important international ornithological site. We will pass through the villages of Zahr\u00e1dky and Holany and the system of beautiful Holansk\u00e9 rybn\u00edk ponds to Ko\u0148sk\u00fd rybn\u00edk. On the last day we will climb the basalt cone of Ronov with the castle, visit the Baroque Calvary at Ostr\u00e9 with a unique view of Sedlo and we will end our journey in \u00da\u0161t\u011bk. If you cannot go on the entire journey (90 km), you can walk any part of it with us, or you can join us anywhere. We do not provide accommodation in advance anywhere, except in Houska.<\/p>\n\n\n

We will sleep under the open sky or in the Hostince pod Houskou. (With reference to D.

"I couldn't sleep at night. I went out into the forest and slipped under the surface of the Horse Pond before the partridges came, and lay down within sight of a rock called Smrtka, a low stone wedge driven into the water, with a convex overhang resembling a skull bent in thought. ... I fell asleep to the singing of birds, which penetrated me muffledly under the surface, and woke up when they got tired for the first time that day, ..."<\/p>Milo\u0161 URBAN (Hastrman)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
