The investor’s intention was to create an interpretative trail with interactive elements for visitors of all ages in a forested area of spruce thickets and oak copses. Footpaths and tracks that local residents and children from a nearby preschool had trodden over the years became the foundation for the walking trail. The goal of the proposed improvements was to create a pleasant space for active recreation, with elements appropriate to the genius loci of the given site.

The total length of the recreational trail is approximately 700 metres, and in addition to the main route there are also two alternative paths. The gravel surface of the new paths, lined with acacia logs, corresponds best to the site’s natural character. The wooden elements are made of acacia wood, which has proven to be the most durable option in the Czech environment. Original statues adorn the trail and also serve as play structures for young children. Two wooden lookouts – “nests” – offer views into the surrounding forest and are another unique feature. In addition to the playful interpretative boards, visitors can also enjoy outdoor exercise equipment or lay in hammocks in the open air. There is also an open-air classroom for teachers with groups of children.
