Vitice: Cycling and Horse-Riding Routes

Two routes offer different points of reference: the Přehrady na Želivce cycling route leads to Vitice; the long, red-marked Maříž–Golčův Jeníkov horse-riding trail passes through the village. Stáj Capriola also focuses on activities for recreational riders and riders with their own horse. When choosing a hotel, you can first consider whether you want to plan your trip mainly around cycling or horse riding.

Cycling the Přehrady na Želivce Route

The Přehrady na Želivce cycling route is 35 kilometres long and of moderate difficulty. It runs along roads as well as forest and field tracks. Its length, difficulty and varied surfaces give you several concrete points to consider when planning your ride. You can weigh the overall distance alongside the stated difficulty, while the road, forest and field-track sections provide more detail about its course.

After a descent from Želiv, the route continues to Vitice, with views of the wooded Želivka valley. Beyond Vitice, the road passes a horse paddock and then enters the forest. The sequence is clear: the descent and valley views come before arriving in Vitice; the horse paddock and start of the forest follow on the road beyond the village.

Horse-riding trail and facilities for riders

The Maříž–Golčův Jeníkov horse-riding trail is 226 kilometres long, marked in red and passes through Vitice. The total length refers to the trail as a whole, not to an individual section near Vitice. This trail therefore answers a different planning question from the 35-kilometre cycling route: Vitice is part of a long, marked horse-riding trail, while Přehrady na Želivce is a moderately difficult cycling route. The details about the activity and route length help distinguish between the two options.

Stáj Capriola caters to recreational riders and riders with their own horse. The facilities include indoor and outdoor horse stalls, a pasture, a paddock and an outdoor riding arena. If you have your own horse, these are specific facilities you can check against your plans. A carriage ride is also available at Stáj Capriola. Prior arrangements may be necessary, so contact them in advance if you are interested in a ride.

Choose accommodation to suit your trip

At Stáj Capriola, riders can stay in a family house, pitch a tent or sleep under a shelter. These options are part of the riding facility and should be distinguished from hotel accommodation. If you are specifically looking for a hotel, consider the accommodation at the riding facility as a separate alternative. If you would like to stay there in connection with horse riding, check directly with the facility that your preferred option is available before including it in your plans. This way, you can decide whether to look for a hotel or use accommodation that is part of the riding offer.
