Discover Milešov

Milešov’s history can be explored through antimony mining, the building known as the “Zámeček” and the life story of Ema Destinnová. Cycle route 8140 also connects Petrovice and Milešov. For a stay focused on the water, the Trhovky and Popelíky campsites each offer their own beach and leisure features. You can shape your trip around historical interests, cycling or water activities.

Milešov: mining, the Zámeček and Ema Destinnová

The building in Milešov known as the “Zámeček” was built by Emanuel Kittl. Kittl is also associated with the history of antimony mining: the discovery of antimony ore in Milešov is linked to the period after the mid-19th century; in 1871, he acquired the Milešov antimony mines. The building’s history and mining are thus two distinct historical subjects.

Ema Destinnová, who grew up in Milešov, offers another biographical perspective. These details provide several starting points for exploring local history: a building, mining and a life story connected to Milešov.

Beach and leisure at Trhovky campsite

Trhovky campsite has a 200-metre-long beach with good access to the water. Tennis courts, a beach volleyball court and squash facilities are located next to the campsite. The beach length and water access are different points of reference from the nearby sports facilities. As beach features and leisure facilities can change, check the current conditions before your visit.

Popelíky campsite on the Orlík Reservoir

Popelíky campsite is located at the northern end of the Orlík Reservoir, directly above the dam. There is a harbour right next to the campsite, where the Orlická lodní doprava boats call. Boat services are seasonal; check the current timetable before planning a trip.

The campsite has a grassy beach in a bay, with a sandy, gently sloping entrance to the water. This gives it a different beach profile from Trhovky: there, the defining features are the 200-metre length and good access to the water; here, they are the bay, the grassy area and the sandy entry. These differences can help you choose the water and leisure focus that suits your stay.
