This short and unchallenging stage connects two smaller towns Mníšek pod Brdy and Dobříš where you can find a good choice of accommodation.
From the pilgrimage site Skalka you will leave to the crossroad Na Rovinách where you will swich from red marking to the yellow one, and that will take you to Kytín, town with picturesque pond surrounded by sculptures, beautiful little church with a well, and a variety of refreshment. From there it is only 10 kilometres to Dobříš. You will first walk through fir and then oak forests.
You will leave the woods by approaching the Dobříš cemetery. Then you will descend by the former glover factories down to Papež (Pope) pond to the main square in Dobříš. You will find here not only a Rococo Chateau with French garden and English park built by Collored-Mansfeld family, but also many historical sites related to Jewish community, which was very important here in the past.
