Vitice: Cycling Routes, Riding Trail and Excursion Destinations

Vitice can be explored through its paths, landscape and destinations in the surrounding area. The Přehrady na Želivce cycling route is the main attraction: it is 35 kilometres long, of moderate difficulty, and runs along roads as well as forest and field paths. The combination of length and difficulty helps you plan your cycling day according to the time available. In addition, the 226-kilometre-long, red-marked Maříž–Golčův Jeníkov riding trail passes through Vitice. When choosing accommodation, the key consideration is therefore which focus should define your trip: cycling, riding, nature or culture.

Cycling between Želiv and Vitice

After descending from Želiv to Vitice, the Přehrady na Želivce cycling route offers views of the wooded Želivka valley. The road beyond Vitice passes a horse paddock and then continues into the forest. When planning, this provides separate points of reference: the types of paths, the route length and the landscape.

Riding trails and activities for horse enthusiasts

For riders, the red-marked Maříž–Golčův Jeníkov riding trail offers a different scale: it is 226 kilometres long and passes through Vitice.

It has indoor and outdoor stalls, a pasture, an exercise paddock and an outdoor riding arena. Visitors can take a carriage ride; overnight stays are also possible in the family house, in their own tent or under a shelter.

Field paths and landscape features

Another connection by path is also part of Vitice’s character: the JIH17 Želiv–Speřice route section leads to Vitice via a field path. It complements the cycling and riding routes with a connection explicitly described as running along a field path. The different route details provide a straightforward initial guide when choosing your excursions.
