Brtnická Highlands Circuit

We will start from the Třešť - square signpost along the blue trail around the castle and five cascaded ponds, with a gentle ascent we reach the Třešť - gamekeeper's lodge signpost and continue to the peak of Špičák. About 200 m below the Špičák peak, we find ourselves in the Velký Špičák National Nature Reserve, a protected area. The cone-shaped Špičák peak itself (734 m) is formed by isolated rocks and metamorphic frost cracks. From the Špičák signpost, we continue along the blue trail 0.5 km downhill to the U Černého pařezu signpost, where we turn right onto a paved path. We follow a comfortable route without significant elevation changes for 2 km to the U Obrázku signpost and turn right on the green trail towards V Klučí. We walk on a paved forestry road almost flat to the V Klučí signpost, where the yellow trail joins from the right, and we gently descend to the next signpost U Políčka. We continue on the green trail past the Okrouhlice pond, then ascend gently to the Radkovec pond. After the parking lot, we turn right into a no-entry zone and take a pleasant easy path outside the tourist marking for 3 km. We turn left from the forestry road at the U Hranečníku signpost on a known blue trail, then after 30 m go right. Following an unmarked tourist path along an old oak alley with nice views, we descend about 2.5 km back to Třešť.
