Route description
An easy stage that leads through the forest through the Plánická Highlands, without the possibility of refreshments along the way.
Sometimes on a pilgrimage we feel that we need time to recover, to be inside of ourselves, far from civilization, somewhere in an undemanding environment without big hills and preferably in the shade of a forest. And you won’t find such a place anywhere better on the Všerubská route than in the Plánická Highland between the towns of Nepomuk and Plánice. Before you get to this long beech wood heading from Brdy Mountains towards the Šumava Mountains, first cross the main road between Pilsen and České Budějovice and shortly afterwards pass through Kozlovice with its long village square, full of painted facades of exquisite houses. Outside the village, the path soon draws you into a light and quiet beech forest, through which it continues to climb gently for many kilometres to the Veký kámen (Big Rock) with a rest area. From the rock of this unique massif, you will enjoy a view of the peaks of Šumava Mountains. This is followed by a short steep descent to Lovčice, from where you will approach Plánice, a small town in Podšumaví region with the church of St. Blase (sv. Blažej). Several views of the Šumava ridge await you along the way. In Plánice, the birth house of František Křižík, a Czech inventor in the field of electricity, is worth seeing.
