- Start at Třetí Mlýn, follow the blue path to Nový dům (2-2.5hrs). At Nový dům, switch to red and go to Hadinec (0.5hrs). Turn left there, downhill on a rocky path, not signposted. Walk all the way to the valley and then along the stream back to Třetí mlýn (2hrs).

Transport
By car
This map shows both the driving part and walks. Kadaň offers free parking during the weekend, I recommend Kapitána Jaroše street next to the main square.To get to the start of the hike, drive to point 10 on the map, the place is called Třetí mlýn.
By public transport from Prague – use IDOS for planning
- Take the train to Kadaň předm. (leaves Prague from Hlavní nádraží at 7:42, arrives 10:10)
- Take two trains and a bus from to Kadaň předm. at 13:46 to Křimov,Suchdol,rozc., arrives at 14:33. Walk down the valley from Křimov to join the mapped route
- The best option is to hitchhike to Chomutov. If it’s not an option, be sure to catch the last bus to Chomutov from Křimov at 19:34. Or spend the night at Druhý mlýn.
- From Chomutov, take the train back to Prague
