While wandering along the Mácha Path (Máchova Cesta), we deliberately skipped the frequently sought-after destination, Pokličky – this particular sight will be the main dish on today’s menu – Yum, yum! Take the local train from Mělník to Mšeno and as soon as you get off, take the blue footpath into town where you come to a forked sign-post – you want to follow the 
one taking you to the right, past the town’s open-air swimming pool until you reach the nature park Debř. Here, located on the right bank of the path you can find ruins of the former open-air theater – of what is left of the building you can only make out some foundations of the stage and orchestra pit. The already overgrown slope above reveals scattered remains of the once semi-circular auditorium. On top of the crest at Romanov, you will go by the gamekeeper’s cottage at Na Rovinách and some 2 kilometers further down the forest path leading along the Droužkov crest you will come to Pokličky. These are rock caps each about one meter thick, both perched on top of bodies of sandstone towers – and the lid-like caps, owing to ferruginous inlays present in them, keep withstanding erosion better than their lofty bases.
Take the wooden steps down into the valley, to Cikánský plácek. The blue footpath will take you to Jestřebice through a wild ravine called Černá díra (Black Hole). Those who still don’t feel sick and tired of the Pokličky formations though, can walk two more kilometers by turning off right and following the red footpath till they come to Vojtěchov and from here they get to Jestřebice by way of the green footpath. The side-cut in the Vojtěšský důl will lead you to another Pokličky formation, this time Jestřebické Pokličky. There is actually more to this path than might meet the eye – its top end leads into the village, right beside the local pub - so those who happen to be short of beverage/food supplies will certainly appreciate the possibility of stopping by for refreshment.
The main road is where the two footpaths meet up again and from here on we shall follow the blue one till we reach this trip’s destination. We’ll go down another ravine until we get to the beginning of Šemanovický důl, then we get across the saddle below Spálený vrch, down again into the Vidímský důl and up we go to Vidim – today’s road profile counts among one of the more challenging ones. In Vidim one can see, at least from the outside, an 18th century chateau with its mighty tower and a French park richly decorated with many a sculpture. The neighboring English park once prided itself on 30 footbridges spanning the steep slopes of the few ravines. Outside the village the path winds off right and we have to descend again, since the Vidimský důl is of a round shape, the village as if standing on an island amidst of all the ubiquitous greens. A 2-kilometer trip along a narrow tarmac road follows, until we face the last uphill journey of the day, across the wooded crest of Království we will walk down to the valley of the Liběchovka stream, near the road leading to Česká Lípa. We will board our bus in Chudolazy.
