Landscape and Trails

Part of the old Příčnice country road in the vicinity of Dolní Kalná can now be explored on foot. In good weather, this trail offers views of the panorama of the Krkonoše Mountains, the outskirts of the Jizera and Orlické Mountains, and the Bradlo, Zvičina and Staropacké hory mountains. Occasionally, Ještěd near Liberec can also be seen.

The surrounding area can also be explored by bicycle along a paved route: the 30-kilometre Cyklo okruh Dolní Kalná starts at the local outdoor swimming pool and leads to Rovně, from where there is a beautiful view of the Krkonoše Mountains.

History and Culture

The Baroque Church of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary and Saint Wenceslas in Dolní Kalná was built on the foundations of an earlier Protestant church, which was first mentioned in the 14th century. Jan Amos Comenius preached in this church before leaving Bohemia for Poland.

Activities

Dolní Kalná Outdoor Swimming Pool is situated in the wooded landscape of the Podkrkonoší region and features grassy banks as well as a concrete pool suitable for swimmers and families with children.
