Dvůr Králové nad Labem

From the square we cycle past the Church of St. John the Baptist, and down to the waterfront. We turn right before the bridge, to signposted cycle route no. 4088. After about 600 m we turn off the cycle route, and keep to the path along the bank of the river Elbe at the edge of the field. We arrive in Verdek, at a covered wooden bridge. We cross the bridge to the opposite bank, and once again continue along a dirt track across a meadow. At the colonnade of trees bordering the river Elbe on the right-hand side, we turn right along it until we reach a path which, after a turn left, brings us to Filířovice.

In the village we turn right along the red tourist trail; this brings us to the hamlet of Aleje, where it turns left to Bílá Třemešná.  We, however, continue straight, and after approximately 200 m we turn right onto a road which brings us directly to the Royal Forest Dam.
