The Path of Friendship is a unique open-air gallery hidden among the fields and forests at the northern foot of Milešovka - fourteen stone sculptures scattered along quiet countryside paths near the village of Bílka. It is a hike that rewards you not with dramatic views alone, but with art and reflection at every turn.
The trail follows three paths that all converge at the chapel of St. Wenceslas in Bílka. Sculptures numbered 1 to 4 line the route from Bořislav to Bílka, sculptures 5 to 10 stand along the path from Bílka to Černčice, and the final four, 11 to 14, mark the way from Bílka up towards Milešovka itself. Along the way you pass through gentle farmland and woodland, with Milešovka's distinctive volcanic silhouette rising in the background.
Difficulty and terrainCreated by fourteen sculptors from the Czech Republic and Germany and installed in 2002, the sculptures bear evocative titles such as 'The Wanderer in a Foreign Land' and 'The Mountain Calls' - a rare blend of hiking and contemporary art.
