Dívčí Kopy – Landscape, Cycling Route and Local History

The combination of open spaces, forest and water gives the area several landscape facets that can be considered alongside one another when planning a trip. The ponds add another natural environment to the surroundings, while the fields and meadows shape the open character of the landscape. From here, a cycling route leads to Kostelík Hill. There is also a historical reference dating back to 1267 and specific points of orientation for locating the village. Nature, activity and local history can thus be combined during a single stay.
