The starting point of this winter trip is a place called Kalek - Penzion (Guesthouse) U Vítků. From here we will follow the green tourist sign towards Malý potok (Small Brook) (4 km) and Gabrielina huť (Gabriela Iron Mill) (8 km). However, if this scenic route going along the Načetínský Brook is still not repaired after the flood damage that occurred here in autumn 2002, we must use an alternate road and after few metres turn to the right and follow the green sign, and then go uphill /2/ on a small connecting road through the hillside over Kalek and then towards Rudolice v Horách (Rudolice in the Mountains). After we pass a wooden rest area offering charming views of the valley, we will go slightly uphill /1-2/ on a 2.5 km long road (not maintained in winter) until we reach Volárenský rybník (Volárenský Pond). Here we take a left turn and go down /1-2/ towards a stone bridge above the Bystřička River. Then we take a right turn and pass by a small natural well and continue slightly downhill and straight ahead until we reach a wooden fence of the National Park. To go to the former Gabriela Iron Mill you must take a rather steep downhill ride on a forest road /2-3/ running along the fence of the National Park. When we come out of the dense forest above the former Gabriela Iron Mill, our attention is drawn to a beautiful view of the deep river valley of the Načetínský Brook lined with rocky hillsides. From the former Gabriela Iron Mill - a perished and abandoned village now, we can go along the Načetinský Brook (4 km) to Brandov (a buffet and restaurant) or we may go along the Telč Brook (7.5 km - some signs show only 6.5 km) and follow the blue route until we reach the village of Rudolice v Horách (Rudolice in the Mountains). was established in 1632 and in 1778 tall blast furnaces were built here, later also a paper producing plant. After 1870 the iron mill was closed. 24 years later, the paper plant was destroyed by fire. Before the order concerning the removal of all Germans was issued in 1945, the village had 15 houses and its population reached 122 people. In 1959 the village was demolished. Our journey continues through a spectacular valley along the Telč Brook on a moderate uphill slope /1-2 / passing by a frozen pond and tiny remnants of the former village spread on both sides of the pond (floods tore down some bridges so we must cross the river on foot in some places). After walking 5 kilometres along the Telč Brook (712 m) we will leave the valley and take a left turn to a road towards the village of Rudolice v Horách, where we took a turn in front of the Volárenský Pond earlier. We will be climbing /2-3/ for about 1.5 km until we reach a junction where our road connects with another road and then we will continue on an almost perfect plain to Rudolice v Horách around a spot height of 844 m and straight ahead and across an intersection towards Lesná (2 km). Now we might take an uphill road /2/ or take a road passing across a meadow until we reach Lesné (903 m). Now we will follow the red sign to reach the nearby hill top (911.3 m), from where we may see Hora Sv. Kateřiny (the Mountain of St. Catherine). Near the peak we will find the Lesná Mountain Hotel, where we can refresh ourselves. In order to come back to Kalk we must follow the red sign for 3 km, until we reach a place called Svahová – hájovna (hunting cottage) (2 km long steep descent /3/ down to the Lužec Brook and then another 1 km long climb on the road to Svahová /2-3/). When Sluneční cesta (Sun Road) crosses our downhill ride we must pay close attention as our red sign will deviate from our direction and after about 100 metres it will turn right towards a small forest path. About 200 metres before Svahová – hájovna we will make a right turn to follow the yellow sign, which will go among cottages towards Kalek (8 km). After an almost 2 km long climb /2/ we will ride out of the forest and join the paved road next to our right side, which will take us to the crossroad Pod Vodárnou, where we can see the Boleboř – Kalek road. Going slightly up and down and over small hills /1-2/ we will reach the Kalk hill terrace. Total length 27.5 km.
