The recommended cross-country trail begins in Planá nad Lužnicí, from where it leads us through the green valley of the Lužnice River to Sezimovo Ústí to the villa of Edvard Beneš. We can set off directly from the square or from the sports center beyond the river. We run along the right bank of the river following the blue trail and aft er 3 km we reach the dreaded weir titled Soukeník, still following the blue trail to Sezimovo Ústí, where the Beneš Villa and the Memorial are located. We run around the villa area following the blue marked pavement. Aft er the bridge over the brook called Kozský potok we leave the blue trail and turn left to follow cycle path 1206. We cross the footbridge over the Lužnice river and continue straight ahead, aft er about 100 meters around the playground we turn left to the yellow trail back to Planá. To have a longer run, we can run around the villa where T.G. Masaryk spent his holiday. Somewhere around where the yellow trail turns left to the bridge, we continue straight on through the Ve Vilách street along the green trail and aft er passing another 100 meters we turn right to follow the green trail towards the forest. We keep following the green trail up to a wide forest path, where we turn left . Once we come across the road, we run to the left to the cycle path and then to the sidewalk around Masaryk’s Villa to the sports center.
