Naučná stezka Les Svíb, Educational nature trail in Čistěves and Chlum, Czech Republic.

Naučná stezka Les Svíb is an educational trail through the Svíb forest, which holds 90 monuments and crosses between Čistěves and Máslojedy. Created in 2001 at 10 km, it was extended in 2011 to 15 km with 23 stops. It now forms a loop starting and ending at Chlum by the Museum of the War of 1866.

The forest was a site of heavy fighting during the conflict between Prussian and Austrian forces in 1866. This region experienced some of the most intense combat of that war.

The trail displays monuments that remind visitors of historical events that took place in this forested area. The way these memorials are positioned along the route reflects how the local community has chosen to preserve and engage with this place.

The trail is a 15 km loop starting and ending at Chlum by the Museum of the War of 1866, with 23 stops; the forest section around Svíb holds 90 monuments and crosses. Plan for a full day on foot and wear sturdy shoes for forest paths. A printed guide to the trail was published in 2010.

The trail has 23 stops, three of them added when it was extended in 2011. Among the stops are the Monument to Colonel Carl Poeckh and the Monument to Lieutenant Leopold Schmidt, named after officers who fell in the fighting in the Svíb forest.
