Day hikes in the Czech republic including those in Prague, Cesky Raj and Cesky Krumlov can be taken by finding the various hiking trail symbols around the hiking routes.

Some of the symbols that you can expect to find are color coded arrows and other such marks that are located on designated signposts, such as bird feeders and they are also left on marks on trees.
If you are a little concerned that you may take a wrong turn with the Czech signposting conventions, then you can purchase maps of the Czech walking areas, which show military based routes.
