The faint-hearted walker approaches his fatherland,
The sun's rays hid behind the mountains,
More and more the night descends to the ground,
The people sink into the arms of a silent dream,
The fields and groves are already burdened with drowsiness \u2013
But he finds no peace;
He stares ahead of him constantly at night,
He rushes on and on with a quick step.<\/p>Karel Hynek M\u00e1cha, The Pilgrim<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The annual great summer M\u00e1cha pilgrimage is inspired by Karel Hynek M\u00e1cha's journey from Prague to Sn\u011b\u017eka in 1833. I know M\u00e1cha's "Part One of the Plan of the Journey to the Krkono\u0161e Mountains from Prague" up to T\u0159ebiho\u0161t\u011b, the rest of the route is derived from M\u00e1cha's notebook, correspondence and secondary sources. The probable date of M\u00e1cha's pilgrimage to the Krkono\u0161e Mountains, including the journey back to Prague, was August 19 - September 6, 1833.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The August Great Pilgrimage of the Pilgrim Association has traditionally taken place since 2005 in the second half of August (a total of eleven such journeys have taken place so far). This year, we are organizing two big August journeys practically on the same date: the classic Pilgrimage of the Giant Mountains from Prague to Sn\u011b\u017eka (contact Vladim\u00edr Dr\u00e1bek) and the journey from the Rychleby Mountains to Sn\u011b\u017eka (contact Ji\u0159\u00ed Zem\u00e1nek), which is part of this year's Wandering University of Nature at the Rychleby Ecocenter. The journey from the Rychleby Mountains will start on Saturday, August 15 at 2 p.m. in Ra\u010d\u00ed \u00fadol\u00ed near Tan\u010d\u00edrny. The route, which leads through Kralick\u00fd Sn\u011b\u017en\u00edk, is approximately 230 km long. A day later, the traditional Pilgrimage of the Giant Mountains will start from Prague to Sn\u011b\u017eka, with a walk through Prague's M\u00e1chov sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will meet for the classic pilgrimage on Sunday, August 16 at 8:30 a.m. at Vy\u0161ehrad in front of the Church of St. Peter and Paul at the entrance to the Vy\u0161ehrad Cemetery and walk through Prague's M\u00e1cha sites. We will spend the night in Prague and the next day, August 17, at 6 a.m. we will meet at Karlovo n\u00e1m\u011bst\u00ed at house no. 34, where house no. 551 used to stand, where Karel Hynek M\u00e1cha lived and from where he set out on his Krkono\u0161e Pilgrimage on August 19, 1833. There is a M\u00e1cha memorial plaque on the house. Those who do not want to get up so early in the morning have the opportunity to join us during the journey around Prague, for example around 9 a.m. at the Prosek metro station. Both mentioned pilgrimages will end on August 25 and 26 at Sn\u011b\u017eka. If M\u00e1cha keeps his protective hand over us, then perhaps we will meet together on Sn\u011b\u017eka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both routes are further described in detail in the time scenarios.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAY 1 \u2014 SUNDAY, AUGUST 16<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Prague (8 km)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

a walk through the M\u00e1chov sites, Vy\u0161ehrad Cemetery \u2013 T\u00fdn<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

We will meet at 8:30 in front of the Church of St. Peter and Paul at the entrance to the Vy\u0161ehrad Cemetery. First, we will walk through the cemetery, stop at the grave of M\u00e1cha and the graves of people related to him, and try to say which of them he might have met. Then we will go through the text of M\u00e1cha Pilgrimages in the Krkono\u0161e Mountains<\/em> and let's talk about its history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 Countless numbers of living monks flocked to all sides of the mountain; and I walked to the cemetery to see the graves of the deceased monks; and as I turned aside, wanting to quickly avoid the rolling crowd, the living shadows flew after me; and I jumped to the other side, and again the shadows rolled after me; I turned back, and here the shadows followed me:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And one of them spoke: "You avoid us in vain, the breezes that follow you, force us after you; remain standing, and the lightest wind will drive us along the face of the mountain around you." I remained standing; the monks flocked to the edge of the mountain, longing to descend the path; many threw themselves down the cliffs that towered above the landscape, their eyes, inflamed with inexpressible desire, looked beyond the dark mountains, but the wind, rushing from all sides, always gathered them on the mountaintop. The sun was setting, late evening was approaching; the breeze blew from the valleys, and a holy silence spread over the wide landscape; the day of the life of shadows had come.<\/em> \u2026 Written on January 14, 1833<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(from M\u00e1cha's Literary Notebook \u2013 A Dream that is a Prefiguration of the Pilgrimage of the Krkono\u0161e Mountains)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then we will go down to the embankment, walk to Pet\u0159\u00edn, \u00dajezd, Kampa, Charles Bridge, Old Town, and end in T\u00fdn. We will visit a total of 21 places and look for connections between places and Karel Hynek M\u00e1cha. We will also stop at two cafes - Dobr\u00e1 trafica and the T\u00fdnsk\u00e1 liter\u00e1rn\u00ed kaf\u00e1rna, which M\u00e1cha would probably have visited if they had existed at the time. The walk is planned to last until about 3 p.m. We will show other M\u00e1cha places in Prague on Monday during our own Krkono\u0161e pilgrimage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAY 2 \u2014 MONDAY, AUGUST 17<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Prague \u2013 Neratovice (32 km)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We will follow in the footsteps of M\u00e1cha's path, while also knowing where M\u00e1cha could be going at the moment. The route of the journey changes slightly every year. During the journey, it is possible to decide between a longer and shorter route every day, so that everyone can find their own way and manage the journey according to their abilities. The entire route of the journey is 230 - 260 km long, approximately 17 - 32 km each day.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will continue past Podvinn\u00fd ml\u00fdn up the hill to Prosek. We will be at the exit of the Prosek metro station on Vyso\u010dansk\u00e1 Street around 9 am. Latecomers can join here. From there we will head via Let\u0148any to \u010cakovice to \u010cakovice Castle, where we will be around 10:30 am (BUS 136, 351, 377 from the Let\u0148any metro station, \u010cakovice Castle station); here is another option to join. Here we will read M\u00e1cha's plan for the Krkono\u0161e Pilgrimage. We will then keep east of the original route of M\u00e1cha's Way, which today is the road leading to \u0160t\u011bp\u00e1novsk\u00fd p\u0159\u00edvoz. This route is an example of how it is still possible to walk from Prague to the open countryside in a northeasterly direction. From \u010cakovice Castle we will set off along the cycle path to T\u0159eboradice, where we will stop at the Maximum restaurant for lunch - around 11:30 am. We will continue through Hovor\u010dovice and from there along the path to M\u011b\u0161ice Castle, where he worked for the Nostice family at the end of the 18th century. Josef Dobrovsky<\/strong>We will see the castle and the park.<\/p>\n\n\n

In the morning we met with Mr. Palack\u00fd at the Posp\u00ed\u0161ils; there we disagreed on the subject of poetry; he says of me, "that I have an excellent imagination and that I paint excellently, but the fault with my main works is that they do not reveal a certain necessity of the idea". I do not understand him, because I believe that in each of my poems the idea is as developed as possible. \u2026<\/p>from M\u00e1cha's diary \/ September 25, 1835<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

We will pass this by a side road to the Na \u0161pici pub, which is only open until 4:00 PM, which we probably won't make it. We will spend the night in the forest above Studenec.<\/p>\n\n\n

We will go down to the red one and then to Horni Branna<\/strong>, where you can buy things in the shop and have breakfast here. In Horn\u00ed Brann\u00e1 there is a monument to Jan \u00c1mos Comenius. We will walk through Horn\u00ed Brann\u00e1 to Valte\u0159ice and from there we will take the blue trail to the foot of the Krkono\u0161e Mountains and then the yellow trail to the top Sad<\/strong> (1018 m above sea level). We will have lunch here and climb to the lookout tower. Following the red trail we will reach Flat<\/strong>, where refreshments are open until 6:00 PM. We will sleep here and in the forest. Before that, we will have dinner and finish our beer in peace.<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Rovinka we will continue along the ridge on the red trail to \u010cern\u00e1 sk\u00e1la (1038 m above sea level) and then to Mosswood<\/strong> (1074 m above sea level) and Horn\u00ed M\u00edse\u010dky, from where we descend along the red trail to Spindleruv Mlyn<\/strong>, where we will have lunch. If we go down to \u0160pindler\u016fv Ml\u00fdn along the cycle path, the journey is 2 km shorter. From \u0160pindler\u016fv Ml\u00fdn we will take the green to the blue and through the White Labe Valley to Meadow hut<\/strong> and further to Sn\u011b\u017eka<\/strong>, where in House of Slaski<\/strong> We will sleep over (dinner is served until 7 pm), or we will try to sleep over on Sn\u011b\u017eka (1,602 nm). We will climb Sn\u011b\u017eka at sunset. Here we will probably meet Jirka Zem\u00e1nek's group, which will travel to Sn\u011b\u017eka from the Jesen\u00edky Mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note<\/strong>: Accommodation in the Polish Silesian House can be booked in advance. Interested parties can book on their own or request a joint reservation by emailing drabekvladimir00@gmail.com by the end of July.<\/p>\n\n\n

From the testimony of Bo\u017eena Hindlov\u00e1, we know that M\u00e1cha and his friend Eduard Hindl visited Jan Bene\u0161 in Radim for the feast on Sunday, August 25; they probably left Radim for the Giant Mountains on Monday, August 26, and reached the summit of Sn\u011b\u017eka on August 28, which is confirmed by the entry in the chronicle on Sn\u011b\u017eka. M\u00e1cha's drawing of the panorama of the Giant Mountains, drawn from Mechovinec, is the only evidence that M\u00e1cha was there and how he went to Sn\u011b\u017eka.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 It was a cold night; through a narrow cleft between the mountains the pilgrim was making his way down the mountains with a feeble step. Opposite him stood Snow White in all her height, on her snow-covered peak now stood only a solitary cross; the full moon was just looking over it into the cleft, so that it seemed to be divided into four equal parts by the cross. \u201cGood night, good night!\u201d whispered the exhausted pilgrim in a weak voice. \u2026<\/p>Karel Hynek M\u00e1cha: \/ Pilgrimage in the Krkono\u0161e Mountains<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n

The Chapel of St. Lawrence in the time of Karel Hynek M\u00e1cha was also intended for accommodation and food for pilgrims. Currently, there is no official accommodation on Sn\u011b\u017eka. Theoretically, you can sleep outside, but the temperatures and wind on Sn\u011b\u017eka make it quite risky. It is possible to ask the Polish side to sleep in the chapel corridor, but the capacity is only up to about 6 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Notice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you do not go with us for the entire journey, you can join us anywhere, preferably at the main points of the route (M\u011bln\u00edk, Houska, Ji\u010d\u00edn (Wallenstein Loggia), Nov\u00e1 Paka, \u0160pindler\u016fv Ml\u00fdn, etc.) and go with us for as long as you want. We do not provide accommodation in advance. We sleep under the open sky, under the stars. If you want to insure your accommodation, please book it yourself. The exception is the overnight stay under Sn\u011b\u017eka in the Silesian House. Everyone is free to travel and is responsible for themselves. We only ask for tolerance towards other pilgrims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe that a lot of good would come from a change in attitude if tourists became pilgrims again.<\/p>Rupert Sheldrake<\/cite><\/blockquote>","protected":false},"featured_media":5582,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[10],"class_list":["post-5568","aktivity","type-aktivity","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-velke-machovske-putovani","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/potulnauniverzita.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/aktivity\/5568","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/potulnauniverzita.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/aktivity"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/potulnauniverzita.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/aktivity"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/potulnauniverzita.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5582"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/potulnauniverzita.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5568"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/potulnauniverzita.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5568"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
