Klínec – Forests, Valley History and Experiences with Animals

Klínec Between Forests, the Valley and Ponds

Klínec lies about 20 kilometres southwest of Prague in a picturesque landscape with a mosaic of forests adjoining the Brdy area. Above the smaller of the two local ponds stands the chapel of Klínec.

If you are planning a trip with a variety of ideas for each day, you will find both natural scenery and local history here. The Bojov Valley is an appealing destination for visitors near Klínec. The Prague–Dobříš railway line runs through the valley. Klínec railway stop is located in the deeply incised, wooded and completely uninhabited valley of the Bojovský stream. This means that the railway line is not the only focal point here; the pronounced valley landscape of the Bojovský stream is also central.

Devil’s Hole and the History of the Valley

The remains of Devil’s Hole can be reached via the red cycling route. Devil’s Hole is an artificially excavated tunnel in the rock. It was used to wash gold-bearing sand from the forest hollow of Peklo below Klínec. This gives a tour through the landscape a specific historical connection, rather than leaving it focused solely on a viewpoint or section of trail.

The Red Circuit Cycling Route

The Red Circuit is available for a longer bike ride. The cycling route is 43 kilometres long and marked throughout with a red cycling-tourist trail sign. Its length and marking provide a clear basis when choosing your trips around Klínec according to the desired level of activity. At 43 kilometres, the Red Circuit can easily be planned as an extended bike ride with your own time schedule.

Experiences with Horses and Animals

Ranč pod lípou offers children guided pony walks, including trips into nature. In Klínec, Ranč pod lípou also offers horseback rides through the beautiful and varied Podbrdí landscape – for beginners and more advanced riders, as well as for children and adults. At Farma Klínec, visitors can see the farm animals. This offer has a different focus from the horseback rides and pony walks: the focus is on viewing the farm animals, not on an activity involving horses. When choosing your activities for the day, you can therefore distinguish between movement through the landscape, guided activities for children and viewing farm animals.

Klínec as a Choice for Your Accommodation

If you are looking for accommodation in Klínec, you can base your choice on the experiences you would like to focus on: the chapel and the history of Devil’s Hole, the Bojov Valley and the railway line, a 43-kilometre bike ride, or encounters with horses and farm animals. Your decision can therefore remain guided by your personal travel plans, without having to combine the individual destinations into a single excursion programme.
