This article follows the article “Monitoring of the current state of the Czech section of horse-drawn railway České Budějovice - Linz and the design of its revitalization” and deals with mapping of the remains of the Czech part of the České Budějovice - Linz line. The article lists the remaining parts of the track that were not listed in the first article. In the first article, we dealt with parts from Holkov to the state border with Austria. In the current article, we focus on parts from České Budějovice to Holkov. Relics Horse-drawn tracks are kept as national cultural monuments, each separately. Unfortunately, for this reason, it is impossible to work with the railroad as a whole, and therefore, it is very difficult to revitalize this track, even though the horse-drawn railway is one of the first large logistics operations in the Czech Republic. In České Budějovice, all relics are in good condition, after previous renovations and regular maintenance. All these relics are buildings located in the city center. The track in these places can no longer be restored to connect the objects to a single unit as these sites are built. The remaining parts of this section of the track are neglected and often in a catastrophic technical condition. In this work, we propose measures to increase tourism on the remains of the track. The possibility of revitalizing a section of the track to make tourists more attractive could be seen as possible. The work proposes new educational trails on horse-drawn track on the remains of the track. Trails, positions and stops are suggested for the nature trails, and what they should be concerned about, but the panels themselves are not designed. It is also proposed to use modern technologies, usable in smart devices.
