Hiking trails reach the village or pass through it; another tourist route includes it as one of several named stops. The link via Kejsíř back to Davle’s market square is especially specific. You can use these routes to shape your plans: should you focus on a hike, a bike ride, or a route with several stops?

A tourist route via Kilián and Hvozdnice

A tourist route runs from Davle around Kilián Island, via Hvozdnice to Sloup, and back to Davle. The sequence of place names helps distinguish this route from the hiking connections: Kilián and Hvozdnice are part of the tour via Sloup, while Kejsíř is on the green trail back to Davle’s market square. If you choose excursions by waypoint, you can decide between different routes: a tour via Kilián and Hvozdnice, or a hiking link via Kejsíř.
