Městská Hora Hill
Beroun Sights and Attractions Nature Attractions
Městská hora (Town Mountain) is located in the centreof the town. Mighty advanced fortifications were built in the Middle Age on a hill with a height of 291 m above sea level. It used to be called the Priest Mouuntain (Kněží hora) according to the large area of land owned by the church. Thanks to the care provided by the Decoration Society and the Czech Tourist Club starting in the 1880s, the Town Mountain was gradually converted into a forest park. A fifteen-metre reinforced concrete gazebo was built in 1936 over the municipal water conduit reservoir. In 2000, the city built a bear yard on Town Mountain, in which it breeds three of its heraldic animals. Nowadays, there is only one of them left - Kuba - the two bears sadly died. Vojta in 2016 and Matěj in 2023.
The peaceful woodland park offers two childrens´ playgrounds and a stall selling refreshment.

The Talich tourist path
Beroun Educational Trails and Prilgrimage Routes
The trail is named after the legendary conductor and passionate hiker Václav Talich, following the very paths he once walked.
This journey of discovery offers two routes: the blue route (7 km, approx. 2h 15m) and the shorter green route (3.5 km, approx. 1h 15m). Both are suitable for hikers of all ages (excluding strollers) and lead partly along the edge of the Křivoklát forests, which are part of the Křivoklátsko Protected Landscape Area and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Along the way, 14 information stops introduce visitors to diverse local flora (including rare species), rich fauna with an emphasis on birdlife, geological features, and landmarks like Brdatka or Talich Valley. The Václav Talich Educational Trail is perfect for family trips, outings with friends, or solo walks.
The path also intersects two major pilgrimage routes: the 300km Říp–Blaník route and the 257km Iron Route. The latter is part of the Way of St. James (Camino de Santiago) European network leading to Santiago de Compostela.
The Václav Talich Educational Trail was officially opened on Sunday, May 25, 2025.
