After leaving Lomnice, you will soon have the dam of the Koclířov pond on our right. About half way through the embankment, you turn left onto a smaller asphalt road that leads to the embankment of the Velký Tisý pond and to Šáloun orchards, where there is also the possibility of accommodation and refreshments in Dvůr Šaloun. It is possible to park before the entrance to the dam of the pond (49°4'5.686" N, 14°42'27.817" E). Motor vehicles are not allowed to enter the dam itself.
