Discover Zhoř U Mladé Vožice

Zhoř u Mladé Vožice brings together a historic milling trail, a precisely dated memorial site, and a distinctly rolling forest-and-farmland landscape. The Stříbrná osmička educational trail runs through the village. The spacious Jonášův mlýn holiday home is located at Zhoř u Mladé Vožice 18. The village’s history, landscape, and a specific accommodation option thus come together.

Village history and milling tradition

The first written mention of Zhoř u Mladé Vožice dates from 1357. Another established landmark in the village’s history is the Horní Mill. It was one of five mills belonging to the Mladá Vožice estate, recorded during the 1654 visitation. The mill remained in operation until around 1952; its buildings are now used for recreation. These historical dates refer to different events: 1357 marks the first mention of the village, while 1654 refers to the estate’s mills. The early mention and the milling economy of that time therefore offer two distinct perspectives.

A precisely dated memorial site

The memorial to the victims of the Second World War commemorates five named men who were killed on 6 May 1945. It stands beyond Zhoř u Mladé Vožice, on the road to Mladá Vožice. The date and names give the memorial a specific historical context. While the mill is shaped above all by its role and use over different periods, the memorial refers to an event on a particular day. Its location by the road helps place the memorial in the village’s surroundings.

Landscape, educational trail, and regional orientation

The administrative area of Zhoř u Mladé Vožice is characterized by a distinctly rolling to varied forest-and-farmland landscape. It includes forests, bodies of water, and small wooded groves. The village layout, including the Vrtiškův rybník pond, is designated as an urban planning asset in the municipal plan. The pond is therefore part of the planning considerations for the village layout, while forests and wooded groves shape the wider landscape. The Blaník Protected Landscape Area extends northeast of Zhoř u Mladé Vožice. The Stříbrná osmička educational trail, by contrast, runs through the village. These represent different points of reference: a trail through Zhoř and a regional landscape feature to the northeast. Check the trail’s current status before setting out.

Zhoř has a sports field for recreational use. The playground has play equipment and outdoor fitness equipment, and is freely accessible to local residents of all ages. If you are planning a visit with children, keep this access condition in mind: the playground is freely accessible to local residents of all ages.
