Discover Kytín: Church, Trails, and Beer Culture

Kytín combines local history, trails in the surrounding area, and a distinctive beer culture. If you are looking for more than just a single attraction for your trip, you will find various themes here that can be combined when planning your visit: historic sites, outdoor activities, regional craftsmanship, and small discoveries in the village. The individual destinations differ significantly, giving you a concrete basis for shaping your days according to your interests.

Church, Chapel, and Motifs from Local History

A prominent historical landmark in Kytín is the Gothic Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. The church dates back to the 14th century and brings a clearly recognizable piece of medieval history to a tour of the village.

The Chapel of the Virgin Mary near Malá Svatá Hora is located in the vicinity of Kytín. Edmund Chvalský built it in 1809 as a resting place for pilgrims from Prague on their way to Svatá Hora near Příbram. The chapel is therefore not only a sacred site, but is also connected to a historic pilgrimage route. For planning purposes, you can consider this visit a separate cultural and historical stop alongside the destinations in Kytín.

The sculpture of the character Kája Mařík is also one of the motifs with which visitors are welcomed to Kytín. Poutníkův trůn, a viewpoint on the Kytínská spirála, adds another unusual accent. There is a concrete armchair at the summit of a spiral made of stones. Such specific details give a tour of Kytín a distinctive character, without restricting you to a mere list of classic sights.

Hiking, Horse-Riding Trails, and a Cycling Route

The area around Kytín is suitable for hiking. In addition, horse-riding trails for equestrian tourism are being developed in the surrounding area. For planning purposes, hiking and equestrian tourism therefore represent different stages of development: hiking is possible, while the horse-riding trails are still being developed.

For cycling, the route “Kolem Klondajku a přes Knížecí Studánky a Kytín” follows cycle route no. 8131 to Kytín.

Beer Culture at Pivovar Kytín

An open beer-brewing installation is located on the ground floor of the Pivovar Kytín restaurant. With prior registration, Pivovar Kytín offers brewery tours and beer tastings with the brewmaster. If you view regional production not merely as a culinary keyword but as an experience in its own right, prior registration is an important part of planning your visit.

Practical Information in the Village

Public, accessible toilets are available behind the Kytín municipal office building. They provide a practical point of reference in the village.
