Sedlec-Prcice
In Central Bohemia, few places have been as closely shaped by long-distance walking as Sedlec-Prčice. The town lies in the rolling, wooded country known as Česká Sibiř, where Monínec rises to 724 metres and supports a recreation and ski area. Sedlec and Prčice are best known as the destination of the Prague–Prčice march, first held in 1966 and now among the Czech Republic’s enduring walking traditions. The event gives this small town an outsized place in the national calendar, while the surrounding hills retain a rural pattern of meadows, forest and scattered settlements.
