"Each step of the pilgrim has a different meaning, a different impact than the previous one, because the goal to be achieved is perfectly understood and contained in each individual step, once we choose the right path."<\/p>Johann Wolfgang GOETHE<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In this year's small M\u00e1cha pilgrimage, we will connect the brooding, shady landscape of the rocky labyrinths of eastern Koko\u0159\u00edn with the open landscape of the lonely rocky peaks of the western part of the \u010cesk\u00e9 St\u0159edoho\u0159\u00ed Mountains. Karel Hynek M\u00e1cha set out for Koko\u0159\u00edn in 1831 and his poetic work is connected with it. He felt drawn to the landscape of the \u010cesk\u00e9 St\u0159edoho\u0159\u00ed Mountains at the end of his life and tragically ended his life here in Litom\u011b\u0159ice in 1836. In the Koko\u0159\u00edn part of the pilgrimage, on the first day we will walk a new section from Kr\u00e1lovstv\u00ed to Vidim and further through St\u0159ezivojick\u00fd and Dob\u0159e\u0148sk\u00fd mines to Ov\u010d\u00e1ck\u00fd vrch. On the third day, behind Helfenburk Castle, we will visit the remarkable Baroque Calvary with a beautiful view of the \u00da\u0161t\u011bcko region and the Sedlo hill on the horizon. And for the first time ever, we will walk the route from \u00da\u0161t\u011bk via Sedlo and Kalich to Litom\u011b\u0159ice together. If you cannot undertake the entire journey (84 km), you can walk any part of it with us and join us anywhere.  <\/p>\n\n\n
