Bezděz Castle and Mácha's Way
Details
We start the day with a trip on a historical train that is maintained by a group of local Czech enthusiasts. We go to Bezděz Castle - one of the most beautiful castle ruins in the Czech Republic. After climbing the hill, we take a path through the picturesque forest. The path we will take was one of the favorite paths of the famous Czech romantic poet - Karel Mácha. Mácha was famous not only for his poems but also for his passion for hiking. Today we follow the path he used to walk. The path was named after him - Máchova cesta (Mácha’s path). We continue to Břehyňský pond and through the swamps towards the Máchovo lake - a popular attraction among Czechs during hot summer days and a place of famous festivals. Picturesque views are guaranteed for those who will be willing to climb steep lookouts. In the afternoon we take the same historical train back to Prague.
