Hiking Trails

The Turistické rozcestí Kukle trail junction is located in the center of the village, next to a bus stop on the main road from Svitavy to Litomyšl. A green-marked hiking trail runs through Kukle from the bus stop in Vendolí to U pramenů Svitavy. From Turistické rozcestí Kukle, it passes boundary stones via the Na stráni hill and the places of U Svaté Trojice and Ostrý Kámen to Vendolí railway station. In the opposite direction, the same green-marked hiking trail leads via further boundary stones to the U pramene Svitavy signpost.

Culture

The Mariotereziánské kameny in Kukle mark the historical border between Bohemia and Moravia. They are decorated with a royal crown and a bishop's mitre.
