The recommended cross-country trail starts in Písek from the stone bridge, the oldest one in the country. We run upstream along the Otava River, cross the bridge across the town island and continue on the well-marked trail to Putim. Behind our backs remains Jitex, a still operational textile factory, we pass the “U Smetáka” restaurant and we run to Zátavský bridge. Aft erwards, we continue several meters along the road (we follow the Putim sign), then turn right, then we take the field road to the camp called “Na soutoku”. Putim is already very near, just a run through the wood.
