Stone pylon - Pisek, Czech Republic - Dated Architectural Structures Multifarious on Waymarking.com

The history of the Czech Tourist Club (KCT former CSTK) dates back to the year 1888, when the club was founded by a group of patriots around Vojta Náprstek. Today it has around 40 thousand members, youth creates almost one quarter of this number.

The foundations of walking in the Czech Republic were laid down by the Czech Tourist Club over 100 years ago. An extensive network of hiking trails was created and marked out by hundreds of club members.

This excellent net - 40 000 km - of well-marked and well-connected, Czech hiking trails is the legacy of their work. Today the hiking trails are still maintained by Czech Tourist Club members on a voluntary basis.

The stone pylon is located in centre of town - Palacký Gardens. The town park was established in the 1930's and 40's to the credit of Josef Schrenk, who was the Regional Governor in Písek from 1840 to 1850. A number of trees and bushes were planted, and a water fountain was installed in the centre.
