Hřibojedy

Hřibojedy combines a remarkable cultural attraction with several marked trails for different day plans. Braunův Betlém can be the focal point: ten of the original 26 figurative sculptures have been preserved there. Together with the paths around the memorial site, this creates a destination where you can combine culture and activity without having to limit your day plan to just one type of excursion.

Braunův Betlém and the visitor trail

At Braunův Betlém, you can discover the preserved sculptures as part of a clearly defined visitor experience. Along the visitor trail by the sculptures, information boards provide interesting facts. The fact that ten figures have been preserved also makes it clear that you are not simply encountering an arbitrary collection of objects here, but a site with a distinctive artistic heritage. For families, this cultural focus provides plenty to discuss and a concrete reason to take a closer look together: Which figures have been preserved, how do they work together, and what information do the boards provide?

Short circular trail or longer route

The Lesní naučná stezka in Hřibojedy begins at the car park by Braunův Betlém and forms an approximately 800-metre circular trail. If you would like to include a manageable walk in your day, you can plan this route as a standalone loop. The approximate distance of 800 metres provides concrete orientation and should be taken into account when planning your day.

Several described starting points and routes are available for longer walks. From Žireč railway station, a yellow-marked footpath leads for over 1 kilometre to Betlém. From Kuks, a red-marked KČT trail runs via Šporkovský mlýn in Stanovice along a 3.5-kilometre route to Braunův Betlém. This allows you to organise your arrival and excursion in different ways, depending on whether you want to begin the route from Žireč, from Kuks, or directly at Braunův Betlém.

Another option is the Půjdem spolu do Betléma educational trail. It leads from Braunův Betlém along routes marked first in red and then in yellow for 3 kilometres to Kuks Hospital. In addition, a red-marked path and the same Půjdem spolu do Betléma educational trail lead from the edge of Hřibojedy to the remarkable Braunův Betlém memorial site.

Which accommodation suits your travel plans?

If you are looking for accommodation for Hřibojedy, it is worth first deciding what you want your days to be like. The approximately 800-metre circular route provides a compact focal point for a shorter excursion. The routes from Žireč and Kuks, as well as the 3-kilometre educational trail, are instead suited to a plan in which a longer route is deliberately part of the experience. A hotel or other accommodation should therefore above all suit your preferred daily rhythm and the places you would like to include in your trip.
