Těně: Village Square and Brdy Nature

Těně between Brdy Nature and the Village Square

Těně lies about 15 kilometres east of Rokycany, amid the natural surroundings of the Brdy region. As a starting point for hiking and mushroom picking, the village is an option for travellers who want to spend time outdoors. The two activities offer different focuses: you can centre your trip on hiking or plan mushroom picking as a separate part of your stay. The village square and its chapel add a tangible connection to the village itself to this focus on nature. When choosing your stay, you can weigh up time in the Brdy landscape against a sense of the village centre.

The Chapel and Local History

The chapel is a landmark building on Těně’s village square, shaded by large, spreading lime trees. It gives the square a distinctive building and a striking natural feature. In 1919, two Liberty lime trees were planted in Těně. This year offers a specific historical point of reference if you would like to consider local history alongside the landscape.

Parking and Finding Your Way Around the Brdy Area

Visitors to the Brdy Protected Landscape Area will find a designated, free car park in Těně with about 50 spaces. It is outside the protected area and has no facilities. Plan to use it as a car park and starting point, not as a place to get supplies; organise anything you need before setting off. Access is from Strašice or Hořovice. The car park is a starting point for heading towards the Tři Trubky hunting lodge, Lipovsko and the central Brdy area. If its availability is important to your plans, check locally before you travel.

Cycling Route and Mining Traces

Cyclists have a specific route to follow: a description from 2006 gives a 40-kilometre cycle route from Červený Hrádek via Rokycany, Hrádek, Dobřív and Strašice to Těně. Unlike the general recommendation for hiking, this cycling route specifies a distance and several places along the way, making it possible to gauge the extent of the described tour. Before setting out on a cycling trip today, check the route and trail conditions.

Mining remains lie northeast of Těně, particularly at “V Kopaninách”, as well as in fields north of the village. Their location differs from the village square and chapel, and the mining traces add another theme to the character of the village. This geographical context complements the opportunities associated with the Brdy landscape and outdoor activities.

Keep the Type of Accommodation in Mind

The type of accommodation is also relevant for an overnight stay: Chaloupka Brdy is a holiday home in Těně, ideally suited to four people and accommodating a maximum of six. The entire property is rented exclusively. As a holiday home, this option is distinct from a hotel and is intended for travellers who want to share an entire property. Availability and terms may change. If you are considering this accommodation, check the latest information before booking.
