Podskalí

A romantic valley of the Otava at the entrance to the town with isolated rocks. Used as a trip and rest destination and resting place, now it is a town recreational zone with multilateral use (cycling path, playground for children, boating campsite). On the left bank, there was the former swimming pub and on the opposite bank there is a 4.5 m high copy of moai statue on the Zellerina Meadow at the Calvary Hill with thermophilic oak wood.
There is a 3 km long education trail going through the entire area of Podskalí. It was opened in 1992 and reconstructed in 2005. It starts on the left bank of the river, goes along the municipal brewery upriver to the bridge over the blind channel of the river where it continues to the right bank of the river to “Calvary”, which is a forested hillside with valuable forest communities, to the bust of F. L. Čelakovský, and along the castle garden to the castle where it ends. There are fourteen boards with information about the history of Podskalí, the brewery, rafting on the Otava, Calvary and the fauna and flora in this area.
