Študlov

Študlov between Forest Landscape and Local History

Študlov lies on the northeastern edge of the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands in a hilly, wooded landscape. The village combines a clearly defined natural setting with small but noteworthy reminders of its history. Its appeal lies in the interplay between the forest landscape and historical points of interest such as the chapel and bell. Študlov may be of interest to you if you would like to combine a stay amid natural scenery with regional local history and simple discoveries on site.

A Heavily Forested Surrounding Area

The forest landscape is not merely a minor detail: 47.8 % of Študlov’s cadastral area is forested. The hilly location is just as much a part of the landscape as the wooded areas. For you, this means surroundings where outdoor activity is directly connected with the village’s natural environment. The forests around Študlov are considered an attraction for sporting activities such as hiking. Anyone who enjoys spending time outdoors during their stay will therefore find a destination whose distinctive character derives above all from the landscape and movement in nature.

Chapel and Reminders of Local History

The first written mention of Študlov dates from 1629 and is connected with the Křetín estate. The chapel of Študlov offers a particularly vivid way of accessing the local history. It is one of the village’s landmarks and bears the name “Kaple Panny Marie Karmelské”. The chapel is therefore both a religious building and a place where the historical working life of the past can be understood.

The chapel also contains a bell that was historically used to summon cottagers to compulsory labor. The term refers to an obligatory work service and makes clear that the small building had not only religious significance but was also integrated into the former daily life of the local population. For a tour of Študlov, the chapel is therefore a specific place where the building, its name and the transmitted village history come together.

Meeting Place, Swimming and Activities

At the edge of Študlov is the log cabin “Výletiště”. It is used for various cultural events and family celebrations. Alongside the chapel, this provides another venue for community events. Študlov’s fire-fighting reservoir is used for swimming.

The grounds of SRUB in Študlov are also considered suitable for children’s camps and camping. In addition to hiking in the surrounding forests and swimming in the fire-fighting reservoir, this adds another use of the open space: children’s camps and camping on the SRUB grounds.
