Grešlové Mýto

Grešlové Mýto is a destination for travelers who seek history not only in a single structure. At the Jevišovka, a late Baroque road bridge, the Na Staré Poště ensemble, the Mírovec site and a yellow-marked hiking trail come together. For families who want to combine different interests, this creates a varied selection of culture, historical context and outdoor activity.

Bridge and cultural monument on the Jevišovka

The late Baroque road bridge over the Jevišovka was built in 1766 on the historic route between Znojmo and Jihlava. Its location therefore points to an older transport connection, while the bridge itself has been preserved as a protected cultural monument. The road bridge also features a late Baroque statue of Saint Nicholas. Anyone interested in historic buildings and religious art will find several specific details in one place: the construction date, transport connection, monument protection and the statue all belong to the same bridge.

Na Staré Poště and the history of stagecoaches

In addition to the Baroque bridge, the Na Staré Poště ensemble includes a postal station for stagecoaches. The courtyard contains an open wooden carriage shed on four masonry pillars. The Na Staré Poště ensemble is part of a late Baroque and Classicist group of buildings; the year 1808 is inscribed on one gable. This place is particularly interesting for travel planning if you want to view historic architecture not only through a single façade, but also compare different elements of a group of buildings.

Mírovec: hillfort and early settlement

The Mírovec hillfort provides an older historical dimension. It lies on a prominent spur above the Jevišovka River. The site was settled during the Eneolithic and the Early Bronze Age. The documented history of this place therefore extends far beyond the late Baroque character of the bridge and Na Staré Poště. For interested families, Mírovec offers a different approach to local history: the focus is not a modern-era building, but a hillfort and an archaeological site.

Hiking trail from the railway station

There is also a clearly described starting point for an active day trip. The yellow-marked hiking trail begins and ends at Grešlové Mýto railway station. It leads via Boskovštejn and through the Černý les, around the Jevišovka Reservoir, to Jevišovice. The railway station is therefore both the starting and ending point of the hiking trail. This makes it easier to plan the desired day program without assuming distances or walking times.

A group of three ponds also lies north of Grešlové Mýto; the largest is called Mírovec. In addition to the river landscape and the reservoir, the surrounding area described here therefore also includes a pond landscape. When looking for a hotel or other accommodation in Grešlové Mýto, you can therefore align your focus with your planned trip: the bridge and Na Staré Poště represent cultural history, Mírovec the hillfort and early settlement, the railway station the described hiking trail, and the group of ponds another perspective on the landscape.
