Tour-Details
Paths covering:
Section of the St. James's Path from Crumlow to Frydava.
beginning of the forest, the path turns slightly uphill to the right.
After a chapel (which you pass on the right as you continue uphill), you will reach a larger crossroads in the forest after about
1km. Here you have two options to Slavkov:
If you follow the yellow markings, you will come to Kajov and the beautiful pilgrimage church
Maria Gojau, but then you will only walk on asphalt roads for about 11 km.
The blue trail (7km) runs through very quiet, varied forests and on beautiful
field paths.
Path description yellow markings (1st path on the right) via Maria Gojau to Slavkov:
First the path leads slightly uphill and at the next crossroads keep
left. At the rest bench, take a hairpin bend to the left and go downhill from here. Shortly before
Kajov you cross the railway line, then come to an asphalt road and turn
right here. After crossing the railway line and the Polecnice river again, you will reach the pilgrimage church of Maria Gojau (Kajov)
NOTE: From here to Slavkov, the route runs only on the asphalt road (approx. 11km). Past
the church, slightly uphill, parallel to the main road between Krumlov and Cerná. After
about 2 km you cross this road and go through the village of Novosedly. You return to the
main road and follow it for about 1 km and turn left at the next junction into
the road to Slavkov. You cross the railway line on your way and pass through the village of
Mezipotoci.
Alternative options: either you go back a little way from Kajov (approx.
4km) and follow the blue markings there or you go straight from the crossroads in the forest on
the blue markings and not to Maria Gojau.
Way description blue markings via Slavkov to Svetlik (Kirchschlag): At the
large crossroads in the forest, turn onto the 2nd path from the right and follow the
forest path slightly downhill. At the next crossroads, turn right again and cross the railway line shortly afterwards. When you reach the tarmac road, turn left onto it and follow it slightly uphill. Shortly afterwards, turn right onto a gravel road
and then left again at the beginning of the forest. After a longer forest and meadow path, you reach a forest road and turn left. When you reach the tarmac road, turn right and then left at the next fork. Pass an older farm and continue along the forest until you reach a left-hand bend. Here the path leaves the road and goes straight ahead into the
forest. Keep left again at the next crossroads and follow the path downhill to the right at the next fork. You reach a meadow with 2 farmsteads and cross a stream.
The path turns left here into the forest, becomes narrower and narrower and climbs sharply. After
the highest point, the path widens again and after a while you cross a
forest road. When you leave the forest, keep to the right and stay on the blue
marked, beautiful meadow path along numerous bushes and scattered trees with
wonderful views over the wooded hills. Shortly before Slavkov, turn right and enjoy a wonderful view of the Šumava. You now reach Slavkov and keep right towards the church. After the church, turn right again onto the road.
This is where the path via Kajov (yellow markings) joins the blue markings
. At the end of Slavkov, leave the road and turn left (from
the direction of Kajov, turn right). The markings are blue from here to Svetlik! You will now
pass the cemetery. A little later, leave the tarmac road and turn left onto a gravel path. At the next crossroads, follow the middle path straight ahead. You
can already see the church tower of Svétlik in the distance. After the pond, turn right onto the
asphalt road and walk uphill towards the church of Svétlik.
The path turns
right before the church at a large tree with benches and a fountain - the green markings apply from here. However, a short detour and the view into the church
are worthwhile!
Path description green markings Svétlik (Kirchschlag) to Frymburk (Friedberg):
Shortly after the last house, the path turns left along the fence onto a gravel path
. From here you have another beautiful view of the church.

1. The tours presented for hiking, walking, biking and road biking, mountain biking, motorbiking, horseback riding, climbing, cross-country skiing, and going on skiing and snowshoe tours etc. are to be considered non-paid tour recommendations and only serve as non-binding information. We have no intention of concluding a contract with the users of this website. The utilisation of the data does not lead to the establishment of a contract with us.
The data may only be used for private use; any commercial use is prohibited. In particular, it is not permissible to offer the data on commercially run websites, file-sharing platforms etc. or to use it to develop commercial products. Downloading data does not imply that users are granted rights to the data concerned.
The tour recommendations posted were created with utmost care; nevertheless, we assume no liability for the correctness and completeness of the information.
We point out that neither the tour recommendations included on this website nor the associated data and information were posted by us, but rather by third parties (Art. 16 Austrian E-Commerce Act). We have no influence on whether the details provided (e.g. distance, level of difficulty, change in altitude, description etc.) are authentic, correct and complete. We do not review these third-party contents. For this reason, we assume no liability for the authenticity, correctness and completeness of the information.
Construction-related measures or other influences (e.g. landslides and similar occurrences) can lead to temporary or permanent changes in a route (e.g. loss of a bridge and similar occurrences). Such occurrences can lead to part of the route or the entire route becoming impassable.
The use of the data as well as undertaking (riding, walking, taking etc.) the recommended tours or using the network of paths occurs at users’ own risk and on their authority. In particular, users themselves are responsible for the choice of route, outdoor orientation, adherence to traffic rules, supplies and equipment for tours listed in Point 1 (e.g. bicycle etc.), wearing a helmet, estimating their own fitness, recognising dangers and maintaining an appropriate velocity. We exclude ourselves from any liability whatsoever for damages, in particular accidents, that occur whilst taking part in the recommended tours.
2.Some of the tours lead over roads with normal traffic conditions. Please observe that there is an increased risk which can be avoided by means of appropriate attention and proper estimation and implementation of one’s own abilities. For this reason, please travel a route that is unfamiliar to you slowly and with special care. Pay constant attention to potential dangers and always observe traffic. Do not leave the routes featured in descriptions.
The potential use of private roads, in particular forestry roads and agricultural transport roads, can be subject to legal restrictions, which must be observed and adhered to.
The normal traffic rules apply. Each user (e.g. biker, motorbiker) is responsible for adhering to these rules and maintaining his/her bike/vehicle and its equipment (lights, brakes etc.) in good working order. Each user is also responsible for ensuring that he/she rides at a velocity that is appropriate for the conditions and his/her skill level and for maintaining sufficient distance to the rider in front. We explicitly recommend adjusting velocity to correspond to the respective field of vision, wearing a helmet, using reflective clothing (or similar) and employing bicycle lights in line with regulations.
3.Each tour requires good physical fitness as well as detailed planning. We explicitly recommend only taking the tours in the case of optimal healthiness.
We recommend that you conclude an accident and liability insurance policy. Use an onboard computer that displays the respective kilometres travelled per day and is calibrated for the front wheel.
4.Special for mountain bikers – Fair-play rules:
Mountain biking is one of the most wonderful outdoor leisure-time activities. Whilst biking or on a mountain biking tour, mountains and lakes, meadows and cabins are re-discovered in new ways. A couple of rules for fair play in the forest help to avoid conflicts whilst mountain biking.
a.Pedestrians have the right of way: We are accommodating and friendly to pedestrians and hikers. Upon encountering these fellow travellers, we alert them by using the bicycle bell and slowly overtake them. We avoid paths with heavy pedestrian traffic altogether. Take nature into account: We do not leave refuse behind.
b.The braking distance should be half of the total distance visible: We ride at a controlled pace, are ready to brake and maintain a braking distance half as long as the total distance visible, especially in curves, because we always have to count on obstacles on the path. Damage to the path, stones, branches, wood piles, grazing livestock, cattle grids, barriers, tractor-type forestry machines and authorised vehicles pose dangers that we need to be ready for.
c.Don’t drink and drive!: Do not drink alcohol when mountain biking. Take care at stop-off points (dealing with bike racks, dirty shoes or clothing).
It is obligatory to provide first aid!
d.Marked routes, closed paths and blockades: Keep to the marked routes, observe the blockades and accept that these roads are primarily for agricultural and forestry use!
Blockades can often not be avoided and are in your own interest. Biking beyond the intended path and outside of opening times is punishable and turns us into illegal bikers.
e.We are guests in the forest and behave accordingly, including vis-à-vis forestry and hunting staff. Whilst mountain biking, mobile telephones and music players are forbidden! Biking requires your full attention.
f.Avoid unnecessary noise. Out of consideration to the animals living in the wild, we only bike during full daylight. As a principle, we always wear our helmet (even when riding uphill)! Don’t forget emergency supplies: We always have a repair set and bandages along.
g.Don’t overestimate your skills: We should not overdo it when it comes to biking technique and physical fitness. Take the level of difficulty posed by the route into consideration and make a precise estimate of your experience and skills as a biker (braking, bell, lights)!
h.Close gates: We approach grazing livestock at a walking pace and close every gate behind us. We should avoid causing escape and panic reactions in the animals. Nothing stands in the way of the fun and athletic challenge in the mountains and forests!
i.Traffic rules: The general traffic rules (StVO) apply for all the mountain biking routes and we adhere to them. Our bike therefore needs to be in perfect technical condition and equipped in line with the traffic rules, including brakes, a bell and lights. We inspect and service our mountain bikes regularly anyway.
