Tips

Beyond the Horizon

September 22, 2023

Passing the deep forests and clear rivers of Hřensko, the path inevitably draws the eye to the destination in the distance: the Pravcicka Gate in Bohemian Switzerland. Those who take this path not only embark on a physical climb, but also on a journey through the forest's eventful history.

The first steps on the path are still characterized by the innocent beauty of the forest. But soon the hiker witnesses the dark scars left by the fire last year. Where birds once chirped happily and the scent of fresh earth invigorated the senses, a landscape of silence and destruction now stretches out. Charred tree trunks stretch towards the sky and testify to the violence of the fire.

But in the midst of this gloomy scenario, the delicate green of young plants reminds us of the indestructible power of nature. Like phoenixes rising from the ashes, they begin to restore the forest to its original beauty and offer hikers hope and comfort.

As one approaches the summit, the views open up. The burnt treetops now offer unobstructed views of the deep valley and the majestic sandstone formation of the Pravcicka Gate. The sun, which illuminates the path until the first bend, seems to chase away the shadow of the past, inviting the hiker to pause and enjoy the silence.

This trail is not only a testament to the relentless forces of nature, but also a reminder of its ability to regenerate and renew. Every step, every observation allows us to look deep into the soul of the forest and ponder the cycles of life and change. It is a path of reflection that celebrates both the transience and eternity of nature.

Very strenuous in summer when it is very hot. Because there are no trees left.
