Máchova cesta

Máchova cesta is a 284-kilometer hiking trail in northern Czech Republic that winds through forests, meadows, and rolling hills. The route connects various villages and regions with clearly marked paths and regular stopping points for rest.

The trail originated in the 19th century as a key connection between communities in northern and central Bohemia. This route was important for trade and travel between distant settlements across the region.

Along the way, hikers encounter small chapels and wayside shrines scattered through villages and farmland. These structures reflect the spiritual traditions that have shaped the local landscape for centuries.

The trail is well-marked with multiple starting points near towns where lodging and supplies are readily available. It helps to divide the hike into shorter sections and plan rest days in villages along the route.

The trail forms part of the E10, a European long-distance hiking route that spans multiple countries. This connection links the local landscape with a broader network of walking paths across Europe.
