To the Pub at Nižbor

A 22 km winter connector from Kladno through the woods to Nižbor, a route chosen for its destination, the Zastávka Nižbor railway pub.

To be honest, this is not a scenic highlight of the region. If you want Křivoklátsko at its best, look at the routes along the Berounka instead. This walk has a different purpose. It fills a short December day, and it ends at a favourite pub.

From Kladno station the route leaves the city south through Braškov and Valdek, crosses the open plateau past the hamlet of Amerika to Malé Kyšice, and only then gets properly into the woods. The second half runs through the forests of the CHKO Křivoklátsko, gently downhill almost all the way to the Berounka.

The finish is the whole point. The route ends in Nižbor at the Zastávka Nižbor pub, built in an old railway hut with a few retired railcars parked around it. It stands right next to the halt on the Beroun–Rakovník line, so the train home is a few steps away.
