Thinking about a nice Sunday hike? Get a trolley bus to quarter Kohoutovice and enjoy a game preserve at hills Holedná and Hobrtenky.

Located only 15 minutes from Mendlovo sq. in the centre of the town, the preserve is a great place where to spot deers, moufflons and wild boars (safely locked in a large cattle-range).

Cute, isn't it?

It is allowed to feed the boars – just remember that although they like bread, it is bad for their health.

Your kids will be fascinated by the animals.

Holedná and Hobrtenky hills are a wonderful place for hiking, biking on running. It is easier to start in Kohoutovice quarter, because you’ll go downhill – but if you want to do something for your health, hike from Jundrov or Bystrc uphill.

I found some nice YouTube videos showing the old track of Czechoslovak Grand Prix, full of long and quick straights and sharp curves, often bordered by trees or old houses.
