A Walk in the Woods

My faithful travel buddy C. and I hit the road for a day trip this weekend. The original plan was to take the train to Beroun, walk to a village called Koněprusy where we'd have lunch and then continue on to Srbsko for a drink and catch the train back to Prague.

Well, after an hour or so of wondering around the village of Jarov, the surrounding forest and rock quarry with no success of finding the trail markers we figured out that there was in fact no trail. It had probably been destroyed by the quarry and we were making ourselves crazy.

So, we went back to Beroun and had lunch and took a look at the map. We discovered there was another trail quite near going from Beroun to Srbsko on the other side of the hill, going through the villages of Tetín and Koda.

What a pleasant journey! Tetín is a lovely village. It has a small square with a pond and a museum. The brightly painted church stands off to the side with its steeple stretching into the heavens.

From Tetín we headed up a hill, through the trees and found tiny Koda. Another 3k walk and we were in Srbsko sitting at a great restaurant cooling off with the Czech national drink Pilsner...
