We'll walk 15 km (mapy.com), following this trail high above the river, to Slapy dam. Then we go up a long, steep hill into the forest, with more beautiful views across the countryside before returning through woods to our starting point. Bring refreshment with you - nowhere to eat on the way, but we'll find restaurants / cafes in Štěchovice. You should wear hiking boots for muddy, uneven paths.
