Many walking trails lead you predominantly through forests. One thing that you will enjoy about my “Three Mills Walk” is the variation : it allows you to inhale wide, open spaces before taking you into the shade and dampness of the old mills and streams and then back along an unsurfaced country road.  

Access : By car : park at the stables in Zmrzlik.

By bus : take the bus 246 from Sidlíště Stodulky and get off at the stop Zmrzlik. Start your walk by taking the street Na Zmrzliku. Buses are infrequent therefore it is better to check return times before your departure. 

Difficulty : Easy   Distance : 9,6 Km    Time : approx 1h50

Summarized itinerary : Zmrzlik – (red trail) Na Parkáně – Maškův Mlýn – Taslarův Mlýn – Kalínův Mlýn– (blue trail) Ořech – Zmrzlik

Detailed itinerary : Walk past both riding schools and follow the country path through the fields, towards the electrical distribution plant. You will arrive at a larger path (electrical plant to your left) and you will find red trail markers. Go right, following the red trail.

The trail is very beautiful.

When the path becomes rocky and zigzags downwards, anticipate the road ahead and put your dog on the leash. You have arrived at the first old mill, Maškův Mlýn.

Go right and walk round the bend. After the pond, turn left onto a wide trail.

As you advance, a stream runs to the left and you will arrive at the second mill ; Taslarův Mlýn.

You must keep following the red trail markers which will take you over the streams and finally along to the third mill ; Kalínův Mlýn.

At Kalínův Mlýn you will change trail, following the blue/red markers up to the right. Then you will keep on the blue trail which becomes a wide unsurfaced road. Cars are extremely rare.

You will follow this road quite a distance, towards Ořech. Before arriving at a main road, you will pass dog boarding kennels on your left.

Conica kennels, managed by Dušan and his kind employees, offer dog training courses and long and short-term boarding in various sized kennels, some of which, have both outdoor and indoor spaces. Should you need dog boarding services, I can recommend these kennels – and believe me, I am fussy when it comes to entrusting my precious dogs. My dogs have been kenneled here several times. The array of small cages on view near the entrance are misleading and bear no resemblance to the area where your precious pooch will be housed. The reason I decided to try this place out is simple. On several occasions, while doing this Three Mills Walk, I have been able to observe the dogs being exercised. I have seen approximately 20 dogs of various breeds and sizes, harmoniously wandering about in the field all together, accompanied by staff. It was a pleasant and reassuring sight indeed.

Once you have passed the kennels, put your dog on the leash as there is a short stretch of road ahead. You must walk straight on towards the first streets of the village.

Turn right into the street Hajovka. Continue straight on until the path becomes a beautiful country path, lined with some benches and apple trees. As you arrive at what once was a pond, you will spot two rather peculiar white sculptures, a male and a female figure. Keep following the path which will take a sharp right and bring you out onto the main road. Continue to the right for approximately 25 meters and you will arrive back at the stables.

We hope you have enjoyed your walk. Please do not forget to add your comment to assist other potential walkers.
