Brdy is ready for cross-country skiers, but the fight against the bark beetle has changed the white trail
“Our location is to provide the public with maximum space for winter use of Brdy, but it is necessary to maintain the backbone network of maintained roads for the integrated rescue system,” said VLS Hořovice division director David Novotný, adding that foresters had to make changes compared to the past.
The Obrázecká forest road will not be needed as part of the system. “We need it to secure mining after the bark beetle calamity. As well as sections of the Dlouhá, Korunská or Dobrotivská forest roads, ”explained VLS spokesman Jan Sotona.
An agreement with the administration of the Brdy Protected Landscape Area (PLA) will also be important. That the movement of skiers puts as little burden on the local nature as possible.
He will go to Brdy from all sides
The military forests have agreed on the creation of a stop for cross-country skiers with the Podbrdské local governments, for example with the management of Strašice, which represents only from the starting points to the Brdy Protected Landscape Area, as well as with Obecnice, Mirošov or Skořice and especially with the town of Příbram. The local Municipal Forests will test a tracking machine in Brdy this winter.
“We use it on smaller circuits near Orlov and Kozičín, and if there are good conditions, then also in the area of the former athletic oval in the Zdaboř district. The goal is to create a route for less experienced or beginner cross-country skiers, “said the mayor of Příbram, Jan Konvalinka.
Those interested will find out where the winter trails will lead on a special map prepared by the municipalities together with the VLS.
In the trail through the orchards and in the stadium
As in the Podbrdsko region, it will be possible to enjoy rides in the snowy landscape in the Sedlčany region. He will prepare kilometers of feet with a sufficient amount of snow in the vicinity of the Monínec sports complex near Sedlec-Prčice.
“If it snows, we will meet in our orchards, for example,” Mr. and Mrs. Šrámek from Vítov u Slaného tell those interested in winter use. The 4.5-kilometer-long circuit has already begun. It leads along the cycle path from Blahotice to Vítov and partly through their own orchards, which they have temporarily made available to cross-country skiers.
The so-called tracker, who, after being involved in an ATV, creates regular ski grooves in the snow, was newly acquired by the management of the Sports Complex of the City of Kladno. The first track was marked in February in the section Sletiště – Doksy and now they are also waiting for snow. Cross-country skiing trails in the region are also being modified at the football stadium in Nový Strašecí. Thanks to artificial lighting, people ski there until late.
