Třebotov – Hiking Trails, Nature and Culture in Czechia

Třebotov between hiking trails, nature and culture

Třebotov combines several travel ideas without requiring you to commit to a single theme. You can explore historical traces, discover distinctive landscape formations and compare various marked trails. A concise starting point for the cultural history of the town is the parish church of St. Martin: it was newly built and consecrated on 9 October 1875. In the Třebotov Church of St. Martin, the main altar comes from St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague. This gives the church two different points of interest for your exploration – its own building history and a furnishing element connected with Prague.

Landscape features at Kulivá hora

The rock outcrops of Kulivá hora are paleontological and stratigraphic sites of international importance. Rare and endangered plant and invertebrate species occur in the steppe grasslands and rocky steppes. This combination is particularly interesting for your travel planning if you are looking not only for a hiking route but also want to focus on geological and biological features. Kulivá hora thus represents a landscape whose value lies both in its rock outcrops and in the species found there.

Hiking, pilgrimage route and cycle path

There are several documented routes for different day plans. The Pilgrimage Route of St. Ludmila includes an 8.7 km section from Ořech via Choteč to Třebotov. A green-marked hiking trail leads from Černošice to Třebotov. In addition, a blue-marked route leads from the Třebotovský tvrz past a pond and over the dam to Pekárkův mlýn. For a day of hiking, the 8.7-kilometre pilgrimage section can be viewed as a clearly defined route. The green-marked trail connects Černošice with Třebotov, while the blue-marked route leads from the Třebotovský tvrz past a pond and over the dam to Pekárkův mlýn. Along the way, a fixed stage length, the connection between two places, and the pond, dam and mill stand alongside one another as spatial reference points. This gives you three different focal points for choosing the respective route when planning your day. Cycle route 8100 also runs through Třebotov, so you can take a connection to cycling into account in your planning.

History and local traditions

The Třebotovský tvrz was declared a protected cultural monument in 1958. Another historical point of interest is the Jewish cemetery in Třebotov; the oldest legible gravestones date from 1795. During a stay, different layers of history thus appear side by side: the consecration of the newly built parish church in the 19th century, the cemetery’s older heritage and the later protected status of the Třebotovský tvrz. Every autumn, the St. Martin lantern procession concludes at the local church in Třebotov. This recurring event adds a local tradition to the enduring cultural and landscape themes.
