Plains of Jordán
Brdy is a range of hills in the Czech Republic, forming a long massif stretching for cca.60 km southwest from Prague.
The northern section of the Brdy is called "Hřebeny" and features one narrow ridge (highest elevation Písek - 690m).
The main Brdy range starts south of the Litavka river gorge and consists of several major elevations connected into one plateau, the highest peaks among them being Tok (864m), Praha (862m) or Třemšín (827m).
Most of the Brdy is covered by forest, and it is one of the largest contiguously forested areas in the interior of the country. Large sections of the massif are designated as a restricted military area and closed to the public. The Brdy military area has been a source of controversy for several decades.

Having lost its military no-go zone status just recently, the Brdy mountain range remain unspoiled and perfect for an off-the-beaten-path hiking exploration.
In February, we pursued a winter day-long 40km through-hike, starting in Příkosice and finishing our hiking in Příbram, wandering across deep woods and treeless plains between Padrťské rybníky ponds and Jordán plains - a rewarding though quite challenging endeavour.
