Path description:
After a short sightseeing of the main part of Studenice, we continue left from the monastery complex by the presbytery. At the passage between the presbytery and winegrowers association Studenice we continue upwards on a cart track along the rocky wall. To the left also the path on Studenice castle branches off, and higher on the left by the path there is soon a smaller stream, where runs water in a wooden gutter. Further right by the path, through the iron door there is an old nun cemetery of dominican sisters and magdalene sisters, who marked the history of Studenice through turbulent centuries. Further left by the path there is a rocky/wooden well and the remains of a quarry. The only,,foreign object,, which somehow blended into the environment. Few more strides and we get to source/sources of the stream which is more or less rich with water. Area higher is similar to karst, limestone terrain and water levels depend on precipitation, melting snow. There are some benches in the oasis of silence, peace and a smaller wooden footbridge for crossing the stream at higher water level and this is also the destination of a short path, appropriate practically for everyone.
