Brdy and Bohemian Karst

Brdy, the highest mountain range in the interior of Bohemia, will enchant you with its deep forests, hidden ponds and upland bogs. Until 2016 the places now criss-crossed by marked hiking and cycling trails were closed to the public, because most of the range belonged to a military training area. It was established as early as 1926 and civilians practically never set foot here, so some corners of Brdy remain little discovered even today. Come and explore their mysterious nooks with us – on foot, on skis or, in summer, by bike.
The Bohemian Karst Protected Landscape Area was declared on 12 April 1972 and covers 130 km². Its landscape has a varied relief, shaped mainly by the erosion of the Berounka river and its tributaries. It is known above all for its karst canyons, gorges and caves. There are almost 700 caves in the Bohemian Karst, but only ten are longer than 300 metres. The best known is the Koněprusy Caves system on Zlatý kůň, with more than two kilometres of passages – the longest cave system in Bohemia.
