Tschechische Märchen – Wagnerová Magdalena (2025)

Old quarries and sand pits are a prominent part of the Central Bohemian landscape. A harsh place with a soul – revealed yet still a mysterious refuge of tranquility, a blend of beauty and raw wildness. They are places where the earth has not closed up but remains an open book, quietly telling… Ancient geological and paleontological stories, tales of human toil and the transformations of the landscape.

Whether you are a well-traveled adventurer, a thoughtful pilgrim, an enthusiastic tourist, or just looking for inspiration for a weekend trip to places away from the noise of crowds, you are holding the right book. It will show you diverse paths leading through colorful forests and groves, across meadows and pastures, to fertile fields and orchards, to ponds, lakes, and waterways, to architectural and technical monuments, to abandoned quarries and forgotten tunnels. The paths sometimes transition into barely noticeable trails, but it is precisely these that will lead you to hidden places where the fates of people, stones, and living nature intertwine…

For each trip, you will find:
• an overview of all the attractions you will see along the way
• an accurate and clear description of the route including length, elevation gain, and terrain difficulty
• transportation connections
• alternative routes
• a QR code linking to the route
