Skryje: Hotels and accommodations

The geological educational trail “In the Footsteps of the Trilobite” begins at the museum in Skryje and ends at the parking lot by the church in Skryje. Comic-style information panels, climbing elements, viewpoints, and peepholes are part of the route; in addition, there is an opportunity to find a fossil in the scree above the Skryje Bridge.

Geology and trails

A hiking route leads from Skryje via this geological educational trail to the Týřov National Nature Reserve. The Skryjský luh educational trail is currently designated as “not maintained.”

Culture

When viewing Skryje from the north and east, the Church of the Archangel Michael is a prominent landmark. It is a longitudinal Baroque church with rich architectural detailing, as well as a single-nave, oriented building with a prismatic tower on the western façade.

The Joachim Barrande Memorial has been located in a former school building since 1997. Its ground floor houses the ethnographic exhibition “Life in Skryje”; it also features an archaeological exhibition on Prof. Durdík’s research at the nearby Týřov Castle. Children can find their own fossilized trilobite fossil at the memorial.

Nature

The Jezírka area contains highly valuable botanical communities with more than 240 vascular plant species. Forest communities are also preserved that approach a natural species composition and include more than 25 tree species. Jezírka encompasses significant Cambrian paleontological sites of Skryje–Týřovice.

Cycling route

Cycling route 0048 runs through Skryje and heads toward the bridge. It then follows the left bank of the Berounka to Roztoky u Křivoklátu.
