Jezdovice

Jezdovice brings together nature observation, physical activity, and vivid local history within a compact thematic area. The Naučná stezka Špičák is particularly distinctive: after a 10-kilometre route with 10 information panels, it ends in Jezdovice. This makes the town appealing to travellers who want not only to admire a landscape but also to engage along the way with its natural and historical context.

Educational trail for walking and cycling

The Naučná stezka Špičák is suitable for pedestrians and mountain bikers. Its information panels cover biology, geology, geomorphology, and history. Depending on your interests, the route can therefore be experienced either as an active outing or as an informative exploration of the surrounding area. For families with different preferences, this combination offers several topics for discussion and observation without limiting the trip to a single type of experience.

Even the longest option can be planned as a route with a return journey: travelling from Jezdovice to Třešť by train or bus is possible. Further information on the duration, elevation profile, or individual starting points is not available for the route and should therefore be checked separately before making specific plans.

Protected wetland landscape

The Jezdovické rašeliniště is a distinctive natural feature in its own right. The area covers 2.7067 hectares and was first designated a nature monument on 3 May 1984. It includes a fragment of an extensive wet meadow, as well as habitats of transitional fens, base-poor moss fens, and submontane Nardus grasslands.

The Jezdovické rašeliniště protects rare and endangered plant and animal populations. Protected populations include, among others, Triglochin palustris, Moneses uniflora, and Carex pulicaris. Those interested in nature and biodiversity will therefore find a specific reason here to observe the landscape more closely. A one-sided oak avenue leading to the water tower complements this focus on nature and education. It runs along a field path and forms part of an educational trail.

Stone Bridge and Memory of Silver Mining

The local history of Jezdovice includes a stone bridge. It is 14 metres long, 5 metres wide, and has three arches as well as exposed, unrendered masonry. The bridge is considered one of the oldest in Moravia and appears on historical maps from between 1770 and 1780.

A four-metre-high wooden statue of a miner also stands on the dam of a pond. It recalls the history of silver mining and provides another point of interest alongside the natural features and the educational trail. If you are looking for accommodation in Jezdovice, you can therefore primarily consider whether to organise your stay around nature observation, an active route, local history, or a combination of these themes.
