Újezd Nade Mží – History and Discoveries

Újezd nade Mží is a destination for a stay in the Czech Republic where historical traces, rural discoveries, and outdoor activities come together. Of particular interest is the contrast between the town’s preserved heritage and the various attractions around Zámecký statek Újezd nade Mží.

Historical Traces in the Town

Újezd nade Mží is first mentioned in writing in a forged founding charter of Kladruby Monastery from 1115 and in a charter of Teplá Monastery from 1242. This early documentary record gives the town a long history that remains tangible in its buildings. The cellars and parts of the surrounding walls of the original Renaissance fortress have been preserved.

Castle Park, Farm Life, and Exhibitions

The castle park of Zámecký statek Újezd nade Mží is open to the public. From April to October, visits to Zámecký statek are subject to fixed opening hours: every weekend and throughout the summer holidays, the grounds are open daily from 1 to 5 p.m. This makes it possible to coordinate a visit with the documented opening times.

On the Farmářova stezka, visitors can meet horses, cows, sheep, rabbits, guinea pigs, llamas, camels, and ostriches. The attraction brings together different aspects of rural life without focusing on just one animal species. In addition, the year-round exhibition “Jak se dříve žilo” offers insights into the collection of folk costumes from the Plzeň region and the agriculture of earlier generations. Selected agricultural machines are also displayed in the park surrounding the castle buildings. Historical everyday culture, agriculture, and vivid impressions of farm life thus come together in one place.

Hiking, Cycling, and the Mže

A hiking route and a cycling route pass through Újezd nade Mží. Those wishing to combine their stay with physical activity therefore have two different ways to include the town in their travel plans. The municipality’s cadastral area also includes numerous recreational cottages along the Mže River. The river landscape therefore forms another geographical feature of the municipal area, without allowing any specific attractions or accommodations to be inferred from it.

Accessibility and Choosing Your Travel Profile

Újezd nade Mží can be reached by bus or private transport. When choosing a location as part of your travel planning, the desired focus is particularly important: those interested in history and past ways of life can turn their attention to the Renaissance fortress, Zámecký statek, and the exhibition. Those who prefer active days can include the hiking and cycling routes that pass through the town. The animal encounters at Farmářova stezka and the recreational cottages along the Mže complement these different ways of experiencing the municipality.
