Nenačovice: Glasstar, Questing and Loděnice

When planning a trip to Nenačovice, you can consider nature, glassmaking tradition and routes as different areas of focus. Questing NENAČOVICE is characterized by a moderate difficulty level and a variety of trail surfaces. The “Stezkami Barrandienu” route, by contrast, follows the Loděnice stream to Nenačovice. When choosing a route, comparing these details can help: one focuses on difficulty and trail conditions, while the other follows the stream.

Questing NENAČOVICE: trails and named stops

Questing NENAČOVICE follows forest and field paths and partly a road. The route has a moderate difficulty level. It leads to a bridge over the Loděnice stream, also called Kačák, and passes the preserved rural water mill Kalousův mlýn. The Chrbiny tramp settlement is also along the route. These places give the trail different points of reference: a bridge over the stream, a preserved water mill and a named settlement. When planning, you can therefore consider not only the trail surfaces but also which of these stops particularly interests you.

Glasstar and the glassmaking tradition

Glasstar was founded by Julius Starove in Nenačovice in 1996. There, the company continues the Czech glassmaking tradition to this day, producing handcrafted colored glass made in a glassworks. The Glasstar glassworks produces about 200 types of handcrafted colored glass products. These include glass flowers, vases, bowls, fruit and animals. The examples therefore range from flowers and vessels to glass fruit and animal motifs. The founding year marks the beginning of Glasstar’s history; its continued tradition and handcrafted products describe its present-day connection to glassmaking. If you are interested in crafts, this combination of place, founding year and specific product forms offers a distinctive cultural focus.

Landscape along the Loděnice

The Povodí Kačáku Nature Park extends into the area of Nenačovice. It protects the character of the landscape, as well as significant concentrations of natural and aesthetic values. The Loděnice stream corridor is especially notable: it forms the landscape axis of the nature park. The stream is therefore not only a named part of the route descriptions but also an important feature of the nature park’s landscape. Those interested in the natural surroundings can consider this protected landscape alongside the village’s craft-related themes.

Stezkami Barrandienu and the trail junction

The “Stezkami Barrandienu” route follows the Loděnice stream to Nenačovice. The red- and yellow-marked hiking trails intersect there. This distinguishes its description from that of Questing NENAČOVICE: for “Stezkami Barrandienu,” the route along the stream and the trail junction are the specific points of reference; for the questing route, the moderate difficulty level, trail surfaces and stops are specified. Both descriptions help you compare routes by different features, without presenting them as a single combined route.
