Discover Mnichovice U Říčan

Mnichovice U Říčan combines a varied landscape, historic sites and diverse opportunities for an active stay.

Krásné Vyhlídky Educational Trail for Hiking

The Krásné Vyhlídky Educational Trail is 9.2 km long and has an elevation difference of 150 m. There are nine rest stops with benches along the route. The trail connects Mnichovice with Struhařov and Klokočná and is intended exclusively for pedestrians. It is used by hikers, families with children and pushchairs, as well as schoolchildren from Mnichovice for lessons. It therefore provides a clearly defined setting for a shared discovery tour on foot.

Cycling between Mnichovice and Prague

The Do Prahy na kole cycle path begins in Mnichovice and runs via Všestary, Světice and Říčany to Prague-Kolovraty. The route is 14.3 km long and serves both everyday cycling and recreation. There are rest areas and various excursion destinations along the way. Compared with the 9.2 km educational trail, the cycle route is therefore the longer of the two explicitly described routes—a useful point of reference when planning your excursions according to route length.

Cultural History in Mnichovice

Zittův Mlýn is one of the oldest buildings in Mnichovice and is a valuable preserved example of folk architecture and the milling craft. According to historical sources, the mill already stood in Mnichovice in 1600; on 15 October 1996, it was declared a cultural monument. Another prominent site is the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary. The Baroque church was rebuilt after the fire of 1746 and consecrated on 8 September 1754.

Landscape and Nature Observation

The Mnichovická kotliny lies in undulating, hilly and wooded terrain extending as far as the Sázava. The Mnichovka flows southward. Remains of the dam are still visible at the former Rybník Koloděj pond. Protected grey herons, grass frogs, water frogs and grass snakes occur in this area. In addition to hiking and cycling, this gives your trip planning a nature theme featuring historical traces and observable wildlife.

Sports, Family Excursions and Regional Cuisine

At Šibeniční vrch, Mnichovice has a family-friendly ski resort with a snow-covered slope suitable for beginners, a ski school, rental facilities, a gentle children’s slope with a lift and a snow carousel. The Mnichovická Běhna is organised by the town of Mnichovice and is a running competition held at the Podhorky sports ground on Bezručova Street. In Mnichovice-Myšlín, Myšlín Gardens offers a garden bistro as a family recreation farm, with dishes prepared daily from regionally sourced ingredients and herb lemonades. Herbs grown there are processed into regional products made without the use of chemicals.
