Mladý Smolivec: Holiday Apartments and Houses

The Formanská Trail between Starý Smolivec and Dožice connects several forms of transport: it is accessible for cycling, inline skating, running and walking, and can also be used for cross-country skiing in winter.

Nature and Trails

Three rest areas with tables, benches, bicycle racks and waste bins are available along the Formanská Trail. The route follows a path that served as an important country road for teamsters in the 16th and 17th centuries.

Protected areas also extend into the cadastral area of Mladý Smolivec: the Pod Štědrým Nature Park reaches it from the southwest, while the Brdy Protected Landscape Area (CHKO Brdy) extends partly into the northern tip of the cadastral area.

Culture and History

The Chapel of St. Lawrence, dating from 1887, stands in Mladý Smolivec. Budislavice is home to the early Gothic Church of St. Giles from the second half of the 13th century. Its furnishings include a Rococo high altar with a painting dating from 1859.

The Renaissance Church of the Archangel Michael stands in Dožice. It was built in the second half of the 16th century and extensively altered in the 19th century.
