The trail along the Otava River, in the downstream direction, is suitable for a relaxing run. There is an asphalt surface which is comfortable and which even in-line skaters can enjoy throughout the trail. We set out on the trail in Písek near the historic stone bridge, which is the oldest in the Czech Republic. We run past the community center, a few minutes through the residential area and then the panorama of the Portyč rocks opens up for us. The river then narrows, and we feel as if we were a long way from the town, even though we have only passed a few hundred meters. Our goal is the pub “U Sulana” which makes the run 2 kilometers long in total. From here it is possible to continue along the so-called Sedláček trail and enjoy a pleasant run up to the gas bridge which we reach aft er 6 kilometers in total. Finally, we return to Písek to the stone bridge the same way.
