Mysliboř

Mysliboř combines remarkable evidence of rural culture with a landscape that is interesting right down to its rock formations. Those looking for accommodation in this village will find several clearly distinct points of interest to consider when planning their trip: a Stations of the Cross shrine on the road to Studnice, historic buildings around the village square, the mysterious Smírčí kámen and the natural features of Kázky na Dílech. A designated cycle route also passes through Mysliboř, connecting the village with Telč and Třešť.

Cultural History Around the Village Square

One particularly tangible testament to the village’s history is the Neoclassical farm utility building in Mysliboř. It stands on the southern side of the village square and was declared a cultural monument in the first quarter of 2019. Its classification as a Neoclassical utility building shows that Mysliboř is of interest not only for its religious or representative buildings, but also for its agricultural building culture.

The farmstead in Mysliboř also includes a farmhouse with a black kitchen and two tiled stoves. These details give the building a particularly vivid character: they point to earlier ways of living and working, without limiting the visit to a mere date or a view of the façade. For families who enjoy discovering tangible traces of past ways of life while travelling, this offers an accessible way into the village’s history.

Stations of the Cross and the Smírčí kámen

The Stations of the Cross near Mysliboř were created in 2015 by the stone sculptors Noska and Havlík. They are located on the road from Mysliboř to Studnice. When planning a trip, this site can be combined with a visit to the historic buildings, without implying a broader excursion focus.

Another prominent testament is the Smírčí kámen in Mysliboř. The stone can be dated approximately to the 15th or 16th century. Its front bears a relief depicting a Latin cross and two axes. According to legend, the stone commemorates the mutual killing of two carpenters. It is precisely the combination of the visible relief, approximate dating and traditional story that makes the Smírčí kámen a place where the object itself and local tradition can be considered together.

Kázky na Dílech: Rock and Habitat

North of Mysliboř, Kázky na Dílech lies in a large field. The area consists of three outcrops of cordierite paragneiss and is designated as registered significant landscape feature TE018, ID 876.

Kázky na Dílech is also an important habitat for vertebrates and invertebrates. The area therefore complements Mysliboř’s cultural and historical attractions with a natural-history perspective. Those who choose this destination can therefore balance their interests between architectural heritage, traditional stories, geological features and habitats.
