Today I took the morning to go out to Karlštejn castle. It's one of the more compact castles I've been to. Now that it's November, things have started closing down, like castles. So I didn't go through it at all, but I walked around most of the grounds. My guidebook mentions taking a hike from Karlštejn to Srbsko after visiting the castle. I find more and more that nature is what I really enjoy, so I decided to take the hike. It ended up being about 6 km. After I had set out, I wondered if it should worry me that I had no map for where I was going. All the book had said was follow the red marked trail. I had seen these markers before when hiking with the scouts in Pálava. They look like this.
Sometimes, I'd walk for quite a way without seeing any, but since I hadn't really come on any forks in the path, I wouldn't worry too much. I had a little trouble when I finally got to Srbsko, because I didn't know where in the city I was going. But these places aren't all that big, so again, I didn't worry, just follow the main road until it leads somewhere. I found a nice restaurant for lunch and went all out because I didn't really have breakfast. I went for the soup, dumplings, vegetables, and the 200 gram steak with tangy sauce. Excellent. I find myself doing this more and more often now, and I love it. Just take off, wandering around, whether in the woods or in the city. It's interesting what you can find sometimes. I was thinking about it today and thought that when you wander aimlessly, you always find what you're looking for.
