Dluhoste: Hiking and Cycling

A yellow-marked hiking trail continues toward Dluhoště; a red-marked continuation leads to Vysoký kámen. A signposted cycling route runs via Dluhoště to Sokolčí and Hradišťský vrch. Choosing between these activities depends mainly on whether you plan to explore on foot or by bike. Hiking trails are marked with colored blazes, while the cycling route is signposted.

Hiking: trails to Dluhoště and Vysoký kámen

The hike through the Slepičí hory continues from the parking lot on a yellow-marked trail toward Dluhoště. The geological site of Vysoký kámen can be reached via a walkable tourist trail; a red-marked continuation of the hike also leads to this destination. Vysoký kámen was formerly called Slepice. If you come across this older name in a route description, you can identify it with Vysoký kámen. The yellow route toward Dluhoště and the red continuation to Vysoký kámen thus offer different points of reference for planning your hike.

Near Dluhoště, the yellow-marked hiking route through the Slepičí hory connects to cycling route 1190. This junction links a hiking section with a cycling route in the route description. If you organize your plans by type of trail, you can treat the changeover at Dluhoště as a separate point of reference.

Cycling to the observation tower

The signposted cycling route to Sokolčí and Hradišťský vrch runs via Dluhoště. After Dluhoště, a detour via Hradiště leads to a new observation tower on Hradišťský vrch. The cycling route therefore mentions not only its destinations but also an additional route option to a specific viewpoint. At Velké Skaliny, the cycling route connects to cycling route 1190. At Dluhoště, this same numbered cycling route is mentioned as the link from the yellow-marked hiking trail. The information identifies two connection points: at Velké Skaliny, it is the cycling route that connects, while at Dluhoště, it is the transition from the hiking trail to the cycling route.

For your planning, you can make a simple choice: if a hike through the Slepičí hory and the trail to Vysoký kámen are your priorities, follow the marked hiking sections. On the cycling trip, you can choose between the signposted route and the detour via Hradiště to the observation tower. If you are looking for a hotel in Dluhoste, you can use this reason for your trip as a starting point for your search.

Trail conditions and markings can change; check the current route before setting out on a hike. Before your cycling trip, you should also check road conditions and access to the observation tower.
