Village Square and Historical Traces

The chapel and mission cross are easy to locate: the large Baroque chapel stands in the middle of the elongated village square, with the cross directly in front of its entrance. The enclosed statue of Jan on the road to Třískolupy is another local landmark. Together, the building, cross and statue represent different forms of local culture.

A historical reference mentions a farmer from the otherwise unknown village of Wischkowa in the year 1057.

Plain, Wachtberg and Ponds

The landscape can be understood by its orientation: to the north, the fertile plain borders the Sedlina lowland. To the west and northwest, it gradually rises into a plateau, from which the 285 m-high Wachtberg rises. This clearly describes the spatial relationship between the plain, lowland and plateau.

The ponds also serve different purposes. The large municipal pond, surrounded by shade-giving trees, is used for fish farming. Two smaller ponds nearby collect rainwater runoff. The pond system thus combines fish farming and rainwater collection; the bodies of water should not simply be regarded as identical features of the landscape.
