Educational trail Forest Wandering with Kamil Rohan

Nature and trail route

The trail was created thanks to the Forests of the Czech Republic and can be found at the aforementioned Sychrov u Turnova chateau in the Liberec region, where it begins and from where it continues through the forests of former fields in the near and far vicinity of the chateau, through the Mohelka river valley.

The total length of the route hardly reaches 2 km, so it is not demanding and even children can handle it. The route plan follows and copies the footpaths that were created here during the 19th century, during the reign of Kamil Rohan.

The beginning of the trail is right in front of the castle and you can get to it, for example, from the parking lot, from where the markings lead to the beginning of the route. It is lined with a total of 6 stops, the first of which you will find behind the Hotel Sychrov.
