Midsummer streams - trail. The trail leads through the rocky valley of the Vltava, the section where the St. John's streams occurred. 15 stops will introduce you to the fauna and flora, the geological structure of the Vltava canyon, boating or the settlement of Ztracenka, which has played an important role in the history of Czech tramping. The trail does not have its own significant, but first copies the blue and then the green tourist sign.

The Midsummer Streams were also sought out by the first boatmen, who built simple dwellings and later log cabins around the river. This is how the first tramp settlement, Ztracenka or Lost Hope, was established here. With the construction of the Štěchovice Dam, the entire valley and settlements remained underwater. However, tramps found their way here again. In 1889, the first tourist route in our country was built above the river, which you can still walk on today.
