The path of the instructional trail Hůrky goes through the complex of school forest district Hůrky in the neighbourhood of the village Smrkovice (about 3 km south of the town Písek) in the area between villages Smrkovice, Selibov, Putim, and Heřmaň.

The trail acquaints visitors with the rules of forest care, forest management, professional game management, and historical interests of school forest district and its near surroundings.

The route is passable for pedestrians and also for cyclists. It can be connected from cyclo trail Nr. 1043 and 1044.
