4. Culturally Historical Wandering around Slaný

Slaný – Byseň – Libovice – Pozdeň – Líský – Hřešice – Srbeč – Milý – Bdín – Kalivody – Řevničov - Třtice

The track begins at the Information Centre in the Masarykovo náměstí Square (the former Piaristic College house, No. 159). From here, we will set off along the Husova Street and the Třebízského Street, out of the town of Slaný. We can use road No. 16 (direction Řevničov), where we will turn right onto road No. 23638, direction Byseň.

BYSEŇ
Ancient settlements around Byseň are confirmed by archaeological findings in the village, in the direction of Lotouš. The first written remarks date the village back to 1316. The only historical monument in the village is represented by a chapel from 1860. The efforts to preserve the remains of the medieval fortress were unsuccessful.

LIBOVICE
The first written remarks about the village date back to the second half of the 13th century. In the 14th and the 15th century, the village was divided among the local petty nobility. After the Battle of the White Hill, the entire village was annexed to the Smečno dominion. Upon the arrival at Byseň, there is a stone cross on the left. There is a Baroque chapel from the 18th century i the village green.
The road we take to continue to Jedomělice passes a valley lined with forest named Kejkol or Na Kejkolu. This area is often visited by mushroom-pickers. The road will take us through Jedomělice to Pozdeň. The villages of Pozdeň, Hřešice, Srbeč, and Bdín are situated in a valley where the Srbečský Stream runs through, being called Pozdeňský Stream from Hřešice on. There are mixed forests around the villages.

POZDEŇ
The village of Pozdeň was first documented in writing in the years 1273 and 1296. The original church of St. John the Baptist´s Decapitation was built in 1289, according to the preserved year written above the triumphal arch, and it was built by the village owner at that time, Plichta of Žerotín. In 1858, the local church was built up in a Baroque style to get the present appearance. Václav Štrajbl from Vraný was the builder. The main altar is from 1772, and it was originally placed in the St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague. It was transferred to Pozdeň in 1879. The church is largely furnished in the Rococo style. The St. John the Baptist´s statue located in the village green dates back to 1746.

LÍSKÝ
The first remarks about the village date back to 1300, and the first written remarks date back to 1616. The name of the village probably relates to the hazel bush. Líský is located on a slope of the woody Třebíz forest area. The forests were preserved above Milý, and they create a so called Bor. There is an interesting place above the village, the "Royal" well, also called "Královka". Královka is perhaps the most famous well around, famed due to the legend about Elisabeth of Bohemia ("Eliška Přemyslovna"), to whom an old hermit appeared here, when she was running away from her husband, John of Luxembourg, to Bavaria. She entrusted the key to the Czech Crown to this hermit. After she returned to Bohemia, the keys were said to be washed-up in Třebíz nearby. We can find the well in a birch wood behind the village of Líský, direction to Bílichov. Královka offers a view into crystal clear water, and a pleasant sitting in a calm environment. There is an inscription on the well, which reads: „Nevyhyne zato pramen zdejší, dokud Čechové v Čechách budou žít“ ("The local spring will not become extinct, as long as the Czechs live in the Czech land").

HŘEŠICE
Formerly also written as Řečice or Řešice, this village is located on the road from Pozdeň to Srbeč. The first remarks about the village appeared in 1266. The next remarks appeared in 1362. In the 14th century, a fortress used to be in Hřešice, acquired by Petřík from Hostivař together with a part of the village. The fortress perished in the 15th century, and according to Ferdinand Velc, a brewery used to be a part of the fortress, the underground ruins of which are located in the house No. 12. World War II also left its tragic marks in the village. The village chapel and the Calvary on the road out of the village, leading to Srbeč, are without dates. Just behind the village, there is the "Babinecký" lake. The distance between Hřešice and Srbeč is 3 km. On the road, we can also stop by the lakes named "Dubový" ("oak") and "Spálený" ("burnt"). The road will take us all the way to Srbeč.

SRBEČ
The first preserved remarks about Srbeč date back to 1227. The Church of St. James the Greater has been in Srbeč since 1350. This building, Gothic originally, was rebuilt in 1877-80. The church tower probably dates back to the 16th century. There are two tomb stones with coats of arms in the church – the tomb stones of Jetřich Reichl of Reich from 1575, and of Adam Hruška of Březno from 1581, the owners of the village, the fortress, and the surrounding estates.
From Srbeč, we can also set off along the road towards Mšec. We will pass a repaired Baroque alcove chapel above Srbeč. We will turn right approximately 200 m later, onto a path leading uphill, to look over a place of pilgrimage with a Church of the Holy Trinity. The church, which was originally a Chapel of the Holy Trinity, dates back to the end of the 16th century in written documents, when Matyáš Štampach of Štampach, the master in Mšec, had a cottage built here for a hermit. The chapel was rebuilt in a Baroque style around 1700, and it was last modified in 1896.

MILÝ
The village named Milý was established in the times of King George of Poděbrady rule. The first written remarks date back to 1381. The village green is surrounded by estates mostly from the turn of the 19th and the 20th century. The northern part of the village green is the most well-preserved. Some houses´ fronts are original. The set of granges, preserved in almost all the estates, is exceptionally compact. It mostly comprises of large hop kilns, and barns. Large estates in Milý are completed by smaller houses and cottages from the first third of the 20th century in an interesting way. The view of the village green in Milý is completed by the St. Michael´s Chapel from 1736. The village registered the greatest construction boom, as well as the greatest number of citizens in the period of 1854 – 1869. Local school started to teach children in 1869, in house No. 19. In 1908, the building of the new school was approved, which later became the cultural and educational centre of the village. In 1917, the real coal mining started. In 1924, the current official name "Milé" changed to "Milý". In 1961, the school was abandoned, and the children now commute to Srbeč and Mšec. Since 1990, the village has been made independent on Srbeč. We will continue to Kalivody, passing Bdín on our way.

KALIVODY
There is a timbered storey house from the 18th century in the village. Next to house No. 6 in the village green, there is a Baroque chapel. On the way to the Poboř Lake, we will find a stone cross from 1867. West from the village, there is a locality named Kalivody, significant on a European level. It is a system of three lakes and surrounding wet meadows with rare fauna.

ŘEVNIČOV
The village lies southwest of Slaný. The Řevničov surroundings have already been settled long ago, remains of Neolithic settlements have been found here. The village itself was established via a deed signed by King John of Luxembourg on the 4th November 1325. The village has been built around an intersection of significant Erfurt trail and the trail leading from Dřevíč to Křivoklát. In the middle of the village, the Church of St. Peter and Paul was built, the first written remarks dating it back to 1352, and it was rebuilt and enlarged in a Baroque style in the 18th century, which also gave it its present look. Near the church, a Baroque statue of St. John of Nepomuk was installed, made in 1784. Near the lake under the church, the St. Anne´s Chapel was built in 1830. A hill named Louštín (537 meters above sea level) is the highest point in the Řevničov land register. The remains of a medieval castle from the first half of the 13th century were found on this hill. In 1506, the hill is described as empty; only traces of drains and dykes were preserved from the castle, the stone from the fortification was used to build Max´s game-preserve. From the top of Louštín, there is a beautiful view of the vast scenery, and legends say that even the Prague Castle´s towers could be seen from the oak that used to grow at the top of the hill.

TŘTICE
The village is special due to its location. It is snuggled in a valley among the Kopanina, Žalý, and Barbora hills, behind the belt of lakes connected by the Kačák Stream, where there also is a peat moor today. The oldest settlement probably dates back to the Stone Age, the first written remarks mentioning Třtice are from the 14th century, describing a village with a fortress. In 1352, the village feudally belonged to the Castle of Křivoklát. The St. Nicholas Church was originally a Gothic building, probably sanctified to St. Václav, which could be proved by a mysterious inscription on a stone in the church wall behind the chancel. In the second quarter of the 18th century, the church has undergone a significant Baroque reconstruction according to the project of Fr. I. Prée, the architect. The building is single-aisle, with a wagon-vault with lunettes; the square presbytery has a flat ceiling. The church tower, completed by an onion cupola, only shelters one bell out of the original four – the St. Trinity Bell manufactured by master Flemmik from Rakovník in 1607. The memorial for the 27 killed soldiers from World War I was dedicated on the 21st May 1923 by the Freedom Linden Tree, planted on the 3rd November 1918. Its author is the monumental mason named Toupalík from Mšec. A white marble plaque was added to the memorial, with the names of the killed and the tortured from World War II. There was a school in the village already in 1776. New school was built in 1826 (house No. 80), and another one was being built during the war – teaching began in September 1940. With a view to the demographic decline, the school was abandoned in 1978. House No. 80 was rebuilt in 2002 to serve the purposes of the Municipal Office.
The Bucek Lake with acreage of 25.7 ha is the second largest lake in the region. The dike has existed for a minimum of 400 years, according to the oaks listed in the natural monuments register. Bucek is tied to a cascade of other lakes on the Kačák Stream, under the woods. The place is suitable for recreation – there are tent and cabin camps, bike tourism.

We will walk on in the direction of Mšec, which is a part of tour No. 5.
