Myslinka: Trails, Cultural Landscape and History

Myslinka combines a long settlement history with a landscape that can be explored on foot. Archaeological finds show that the beginnings of settlement in the Myslinka area date back to the Bronze Age. The first historically documented mention of the place dates from 1239. The later history of the village includes monastic ownership: after 200 years, Myslinka returned to the ownership of the monastery in Kladruby and remained monastic property until 1785.

Hiking trails and orientation in the village

A signposted blue hiking trail runs through Myslinka from north to south. It connects Plzeň-Nová Hospoda and Hracholusky and passes through Myslinka. The hiking trail is marked in blue in the village. Most local and purpose-specific paths in Myslinka can be used for walking. For walks and hikes, there is therefore both the marked trail between the two places and local paths within Myslinka.

Road II/180 runs through Myslinka from north to south. In addition, buses operated by ČSAD autobusy Plzeň a.s. run towards Nýřany, Kozolupy, Město Touškov and Plzeň. This means that, in addition to the hiking trail, the village has a through road and several specific bus routes.
