Historical Traces in Jedousov

A deed of sale from 1530 mentions Jedousov in connection with the knight Zikmund Anděl of Ronovec. Written records from 1545 refer to the town in connection with the fortress and manor farm of Štěpánov. In 1706, Jedousov, together with the Štěpánov estates, came under the rule of the Thun family. These dates provide specific points of reference for the town’s history.

The coat of arms of the former owners of the Choltice estate, the Thun-Hohenstein family, is still preserved on the main building of Horecký Dvůr. Horecký Dvůr has been opened to the public; check current access arrangements before visiting.

Routes and Experiences

The Ekostezka rytíře Sekolíka is about 700 metres long, runs through easy terrain, and is free to access. Its short length and easy terrain offer a different focus from the Formanská Trail, which features a variety of route types and continues as far as Choltice.

The Formanská Trail follows both marked cycle routes and walking trails. From Jedousov, it continues along a red-marked hiking trail to the chateau grounds in Choltice. At eight special stops, you can learn about certified producers and their work, and sample their products. Check the availability of individual producers in advance.

Choltice and the Surrounding Area

In nearby Choltice, the chateau features a permanent indoor exhibition. Access may vary by season, so take the applicable visitor arrangements into account if you plan to visit.

In the wider region around Jedousov, the wooden Barborka lookout tower stands southeast of Choltice on cycle route No. 4128. It adds another point of interest in the region to the local history and routes around Jedousov.

Find Hotels to Suit Your Travel Interests

When choosing a hotel, you can weigh up your travel interests: if Jedousov’s local history is to shape your stay, the coat of arms at Horecký Dvůr offers a specific point of interest. For a short walk, there is the approximately 700-metre Ekostezka through easy terrain; the Formanská Trail, meanwhile, offers marked cycle routes and walking trails and continues to the chateau grounds. You can therefore tailor your accommodation search to the experiences that matter most for your trip.
