1. Culturally Historical Wandering around Slaný

Slaný – Trpoměchy – Královice – Dřínov – Drchkov – Otruby – Lidice u Otrub – Slaný

Starting from the Information Centre in the Masarykovo náměstí Square (the former Piaristic College house, No. 159) we walk along past the Grand Town Centre up the Třebízského Street, out of the town. Road No. 3/23916 will take us to the Trpoměchy turn, which we will not take, however, and after approx. 300 metres, we will arrive to a shallow track on the right hand side of the road. On its opposite side, we will find a forgotten memorial. It is a so called conciliation stone with a scratched cross, the date 1753, and an inscription: ZDE VZAL SVÉ KONCE GIRZI LOSKOT (HERE, THE LIFE OF GIRZI LOSKOT ENDED). An old myth is connected to this stone – the Loskot Memorial.

TRPOMĚCHY
The first remarks about the village date back to the 13th century. In 1884, a builder from Slaný named František Štech built a chapel in the village. On the way from Trpoměchy to Královice, we are passing a dominant hill named Řipec (312 m above sea level) on the left side of the road. A story about The lost treasure under the Řipec hill is connected with this hill.

KRÁLOVICE
On the village green, near house No. 6, there is a chapel from the mid 18th century, sanctified to St. Michael the Archangel. In the village, we can see a stone bridge with the statues of St. John of Nepomuk and St. Václav made by a sculptor named Vedlík from Slaný.
The pre-historic settlement of Královice is confirmed by a mass finding of bronze and discovering the foundations of Celtic huts. The village came into existence at the end of the 13th or at the beginning of the 14th century. There used to be a fortress here, being occupied by local rulers until its destruction in the era of the Hussite wars. Baroque Calvary dominates the crossroads Zlonice-Královice-Dřínov.

DŘÍNOV (slánský)
The first preserved note about the village is from 1316. There is a St. Lucas´ church in the village. The originally medieval church, commemorated in 1352, was later modified in baroque style. Houses No. 20 and 21 are examples of the region´s folk architecture.

DRCHKOV
The first remarks about the village date back to 1263, and the baroque chapel is sanctified to St. Vojtěch. On the way from Drchkov to Lidice u Otrub and Otruby, we are passing the Lužec mill on the Pozdeň stream on the right hand side, which belonged to the village of Drchkov. At the crossroads behind the Lužec mill, we can continue downright to Lidice u Otrub, or we can turn left, and take a more passable way to Otruby.

OTRUBY
Archaeological findings confirm ancient settlement also in the territory of the village of Otruby, or also Votruby, as the village used to be called. In July 1999, an antique conciliation cross was restored in the village.
From Otruby, we can return back to Slaný, or we can turn left and pass to Lidice u Otrub, also called Lidice Menší ("the Smaller").

LIDICE U OTRUB/ Lidice menší
Lidice Menší (the Smaller) were named in this manner to differentiate from Lidice Větší ("the Bigger") near Buštěhrad, and according to some resources, this village was already mentioned in the old Latin legends, as the property of prince Vratislav´s son, prince Václav. The first historically confirmed remarks about Lidice Menší are from 1290. Local church sanctified first to St. Václav, later to St. Ondřej, and finally to St. James the Greater, was preserved until today, in spite of several fires and demolitions.

The road is suitable for tourists, also on bicycles. The overall length is 14 km.
