Discover Hřivice: Nature, Hiking Trails and Hradiště Na Šancích

Hřivice combines a distinctive historical site with protected nature and marked trails. Directly above Hřivice, Hradiště Na Šancích is located on the summit of Okrouhlík, 440 metres above sea level. Situated on the edge of Džbán Nature Park, the municipality offers various points of interest for a trip: you can explore the surviving remains, focus on nature-related topics, or include trails and an educational trail in your plans.

Hradiště Na Šancích and Studánka Bělka

The surviving remains of Hradiště Na Šancích include a rampart approximately three metres high and a ditch. Its location directly above Hřivice and the elevation details clearly identify the site: it is situated on Okrouhlík. Studánka Bělka also has a historical connection. It already served as a water source when the nearby Hradiště was inhabited. In this way, the elevated site and the spring combine to form a clear historical point of reference.

Džbán Nature Park and Kozinecká stráň

Kozinecká stráň Nature Monument is located on the edge of Džbán Nature Park. It is the only state-protected natural area that extends into the cadastral area of Hřivice. Its conservation objectives include fragments of a thermophilous oak forest with numerous important protected plant species, as well as a rich population of white dittany. The Hasina stream flows through the Hřivice valley and was formerly also known as Hřivický potok. This creates a clear thematic focus for nature enthusiasts: in addition to its location on the edge of the nature park, the thermophilous oak forest, protected plant species and white dittany offer specific subjects to observe during a hike. The valley adds another landscape element to the protected habitats.

Hiking Trails, Springs and an Educational Trail

Two facts are particularly specific for orientation on foot: two marked hiking trails pass through Hřivice, and Studánka Bělka lies on the slope below the intersection of the green- and blue-marked hiking trails. Another connection leads to Hřivická Studánka in Vinici. It can be reached from Hřivice via a green-marked hiking trail followed by a short side path. The U Petra a Pavla educational trail explains the functions of the forest. From spring to autumn, many cyclists also pass through Hřivice. Springs, forest-related topics and local history can be combined when planning an active day. The trail routes provide specific points of reference for springs, forests, local history and physical activity.

When choosing accommodation in Hřivice, these topics can help structure your search: Hradiště Na Šancích and Studánka Bělka represent history and springs, Kozinecká stráň represents protected nature, and the marked trails and educational trail represent activity and forest-related topics. The decision therefore depends on the desired combination of history, protected nature and marked trails.
