Dluhoste: Trails to Vysoký kámen and Hradišťský vrch

Dluhoste is best explored via its trails: hiking routes lead through the Slepičí hory to distinctive destinations, while signposted cycling routes connect Dluhoště with Sokolčí, Hradišťský vrch and Cycle Route 1190. This makes the village a suitable base for a trip in which you can experience different landscapes not only by looking at them, but by exploring them along various routes.

Hiking between Slepičí hory and Vysoký kámen

A good focus for hikers is the route through the Slepičí hory. From the car park, the hike follows a yellow-marked hiking trail towards Dluhoště. At Dluhoště, this yellow-marked hiking route merges into Cycle Route 1190. The route therefore provides clear guidance for anyone who wants to plan their hike around marked sections.

The route can also be combined with further trail sections. A yellow-marked hiking trail continues to Dluhoště. The red-marked continuation leads to Vysoký kámen, formerly known as Slepice. The Vysoký kámen geological site can be reached via a walkable tourist trail. Anyone interested in geological features and historical names will find two different reasons here to follow the route more closely. The hiking route then leads back to Benešov via Hemperk.

Cycling routes with several points of interest

There are also specific options for a trip by bicycle. The signposted cycling tour to Sokolčí and Hradišťský vrch runs via Dluhoště. After Dluhoště, a detour via Hradiště leads to a new lookout tower on Hradišťský vrch. The lookout tower is a named destination on the described tour; additional information about opening hours or access is not necessary for planning.

The cycling route of the described tour connects to Cycle Route 1190 in Velké Skaliny. This creates a distinction between two focuses for your trip planning: when hiking, the marked trails through the Slepičí hory and the continuation to Vysoký kámen are the main attractions, while when cycling, the signposted tour via Dluhoště and the connection in Velké Skaliny take center stage.

Dluhoste as a travel choice

The routes described make Dluhoste particularly interesting for travelers who plan their stay around specific destinations and route options. The names Dluhoště, Hradiště, Hemperk, Velké Skaliny and Benešov mark different points along the hiking and cycling routes. Vysoký kámen and Hradišťský vrch provide different highlights: one is a geological site with a former name, while the other is a lookout tower serving as the destination of a detour.

When choosing your accommodation, it is therefore important to consider whether you would prefer to combine your stay with hiking routes or with the signposted cycling tour. The routes mentioned provide concrete themes for your further planning and help you develop the right travel idea for Dluhoste.
