At each stop, there is a picture, short text about the given city, etc., for solving it you can collect points, for which the people from Loxper will then get souvenir items. You can also follow the route with an audio guide.

Fascinating Hussites
Karel Hartig was the founder of ikov and its first mayor, he promoted its name and the naming of streets after Hussite fighters, Hussite history was very important to him. So, the route starts in Husitsk street by the first house that Hartig built and which is called U Jana iky z Trocnov. This prefigured Hartig’s entire Ikov market.

Hartig trained as a bricklayer and passed construction tests, then started working on many constructions in Czech, Hungary and Austria, we learn at the first stop.

The walk then continues to the U Boch bojovnik house, where Hartig lived as a pedestrian, which was his last residence. We will mention here that Hartig was also involved in the construction of the Josefov barracks, which is now the OC Palladium. Our long trail leads to Obansk zlon on Prokopov nmst, the construction plan was drawn up and signed by ikov as mayor. The bad bag didn’t last long and caused Hartig a lot of problems. From there we continue to Havlkovo nmst, which is dominated by the newly renovated town hall.

The first Ikovsk bike
The fifth stop is Komenskho nmst, where Hartig’s most important building stands, namely the wheel, which is actually the oldest wheel from the Czech Republic. The myth of the origin of cola was born in connection with the rapidly growing sweat dt, ns application informs. At that time, there was not enough capacity for Olan bikes, so new buildings were used.

From there we go to Praak, where Pbh ikova and Karel Hartig started. The family that Hartig belonged to had settled here. The penultimate stop is on Vtkov hill, where the famous battle for the Hussites took place. For Hartig, the history of the Hussites was a thousand years old, so it is not surprising that he was the first to succumb to the transformation of this land.

The walk is legal at the monument to Jan ika, its implementation was first initiated by Hartig. All efforts, however, did not bring about the erection of the statue, the day the statue was revealed almost eighty years later.
