The trail runs through the enchanting valley of the brook called Tismenický potok under the majestic town walls of Tábor, in the second part directly through the old town. The route starts at the Jordan waterfall that we reach from the car park along cycle path E. We keep following the cycle path and run around the playground to Housa’s mill – a medieval open–air museum with a fi lm armory. The cycle path goes around this museum on the left side and leads us through the restored valley called Tismenické údolí with game elements up to Ctibor’s mill. Here we leave the cycle path and continue straight along the asphalt road, ascending into the villa quarter and then on Novákova street. At the end of it we turn left onto Vítkova street and at the next crossroads to the left again to Příběnická street. Here we cross the main road and through the Bechyně gate we enter the old town. 100 m onwards we pass by a turn–off down the stairs and then we turn to the left into the very next street, named Růžová. At the end of the street, we run to the left . The trail takes us to Holečkovy sady with a children’s playground. The trail then continues along the walls and 700 meters later turns to the market square, in Czech called Tržní náměstí. We turn left towards the Jordan waterfall following the nature trail circuit called Táborský zdravotní a naučný okruh.
