Discover Doubravice U Dvora Králové

Doubravice U Dvora Králové is a destination for travelers who do not want to view culture and nature separately. Historical traces of glass beadmaking, forest destinations, and marked trails provide several concrete points of reference for a stay. The selection ranges from the history of the place to a natural monument with rock formations and a cycling route through the surrounding area.

History, Craftsmanship, and Places of Remembrance

The name Velehrádek was transferred from a hill to the fortress built there, “Hrad Velehrádek.” The Ježkův dům school building was constructed in 1840; classes began there in 1841. The building bears the name Ježkův dům and a memorial plaque dedicated to Karel Ježek in his honor. Glass bead production also shaped the local history: During the peak of demand from 1902 to 1904, 150 glass beadmakers worked in Doubravice; among a total of 67 places in the surrounding area, this was the highest number. Several years earlier, a similar private dye works had already operated at the company Finger a spol. The Pijácký balvan is a stone at the edge of the forest where glass workers from Doubravice met during the First Republic. The reconciliation crosses between Doubravice and Zábřezí are connected with a locally handed-down story about Matěj Neumann from Doubravice and Kryštof Pecka from Zábřezí.

Forest, Rocks, and Peaceful Destinations

In the forest between Doubravice and Zábřezí lies the Sokolský tábor Ježkov camp, which is used annually for Sokol summer camps. There is also Čertovy hrady: the area is a protected natural monument with rock formations and an extensive boulder field. At Čertovy hrady, green-marked hiking and cycling trails run through the forest; Doubravice is 2.5 kilometers away. The Zátlucké rybníky ponds are a peaceful place in the middle of the forest near Doubravice. There is a pavilion and benches by the ponds. This makes it possible to mentally assign cultural discoveries and nature-related destinations to different areas of focus when planning a trip.
