Our first destination is the Saula former hunting cottage, today the Information Centre of the Bohemian Switzerland National Park. From Stodolec we start on the main road towards the Na rozcestí guest house and before we reach it we take a right turn and ride for 1 km up the hill all the way to a beautiful place called Výsluní. Here we may look at the beautiful panoramic view of Dolní Chřibská.
We then continue towards our destination at the Saula hunting cottage. Here we may visit an exhibition focusing on the history of the Boheman Switzerland National Park and take a peek into the local gallery. We can also find refreshments, souvenir shops and practical information here. So far we have covered only 2 km and our next destination is the village of Na Tokání 4 km away.
To reach this hunting settlement we will take a regular path with a hard surface. The vehicle traffic here is very low as only guest and supply trucks are allowed. After completing this section you will certainly appreciate the mellow atmosphere of the Na Tokáni log cabins used as guest houses. You may visit some of them and refresh yourselves there. It is worth mentioning that the settlement served the Count Kinsky, as a base for grouse hunting trips.
After visiting this intriguing site we go down and back towards the crossroad where we continue for a few hundred metres towards Saula. On the left side we will find a horse trail sign which takes us through the forest towards our next destination, the village of Doubice.
On this road we will not be disturbed by anybody as it is a horse riding path only. This section is 6 km long. From Doubice we will follow the yellow signs to return to Dolní Chřibská and then towards Nová Doubice, around the peak and PR Spravedlnost (Justice) and further down and around Liščí bělidlo (Fox whitener) and Louka u Brodských (Meadow near Brodských). The remaining one kilometre to the Na Stodolci guest house is walked on a road surrounded by fairylike timbered houses.
The entire trip is 19 km long.
