Kletecna: Valley, Natural Area and Trails

Kletečná lies in the valley of the Jankovský potok and is characterized by steep slopes. The local history, archaeological traces, protected river landscape and marked trails come together to create a multifaceted picture of the area. Depending on your interests, you can make historical topics, cycling, hiking or nature observation the focus of your travel plans.

History on the right bank of the Jankovský potok

The first written mention of Kletečná dates back to 1226. The archaeological site “intravilán vsi Kletečná” offers a particularly specific way to explore the past. It is classified as ÚAN II and covers the period from the Middle Ages to the modern era. The site lies on the right bank of the Jankovský potok. The local history therefore includes not only an early written mention, but also a precisely defined archaeological subject with a broad chronological span.

A cycle route and hiking trail for different days

Cycle Route 161 runs through Kletečná. The area is also situated on a green-marked hiking trail that passes through the Šimonice holiday-home area. If you would like to vary your days, you can plan cycling and hiking as separate activities. The route network helps you decide, even before choosing accommodation, whether your stay should focus more on a bicycle tour, a walk or a combination of both activities.

Protected landscape along the river

The Jankovský potok National Nature Monument covers the cadastral area of Kletečná u Humpolce. At the same time, the National Nature Monument is part of the Jankovský potok European Site of Community Importance. The river landscape thus connects the local landscape of Kletečná with a European protected area. For travelers interested in nature, it provides a distinct landscape focus alongside the trails and local history. The valley, steep slopes and protected area shape the character of the stay without requiring a single excursion destination to be the main focus.

The Sedlice Reservoir in the surrounding region

The Sedlice Reservoir lies in the region surrounding Kletečná, between Sedlice and Kletečná. It is situated in a deeply incised valley of the Želivka. This extends the landscape connection beyond the Jankovský potok: the area around Kletečná includes both a protected river landscape and a reservoir set in a distinctive valley landscape. Those who want to combine different types of nature during their trip will find a clear contrast here between a river valley and a reservoir.

Choosing the location that suits your trip

When choosing accommodation, you can first decide on your preferred focus. For historical interests, there is the 1226 reference and the archaeological site; for active days, Cycle Route 161 and the green-marked hiking trail are available. Nature-focused stays can be connected with the Jankovský potok, the National Nature Monument or the Sedlice Reservoir in the surrounding region.
