Jinošov – Spring Routes, Schönwald and Historical Discoveries

Jinošov between the Spring Route and Schönwald

Jinošov can be discovered in two particularly different ways: via the Jinošovské studánky spring route and through the historic landscape around Schönwald. The route is approximately 12 km long and passes nine springs. This gives it a clear focus on nature and hiking for a stay, while the church, parks and historic buildings provide a cultural counterpart.

Hiking by the Springs

The springs give the route its distinctive character. The V Olších spring is the source of the Pucovský potok stream. The V Hrdle spring feeds the nearby Bělizna pond. Such specific stops also make the route interesting for travelers who, when choosing a hike, want to consider not only its length but also the different landscape features and individual springs along the way. The Jinošovské studánky hiking day takes place every year in May; the first official hiking day was held in 1978.

Church and Historical Traces in Jinošov

The Church of St. Peter and Paul in Jinošov was first mentioned in 1368. It is a single-nave Romanesque church on a slight elevation above Jinošov. The oldest surviving elements include the presbytery with Gothic ribs and the sacristy. A special art-historical detail can be found on the cemetery wall: its inner side is articulated by blind arcades with figurative paintings by F. Mikula from Jinín dating from 1841 to 1854.

Schönwald: Park, Buildings and Differences in Access

In the western part of Schönwald Landscape Park stands the orangery building, which survives only as a torso. The Silvanův chrám stands at the highest point of Schönwald Park. The Temple of Apollo retains picturesque decoration and excellent acoustics; music performances and festivities were held there in the first half of the 19th century. The Dianin altán is also a separate structure within the Schönwald chateau and park grounds.

Schönwald is a summer chateau built in a former pheasantry between 1827 and 1829. Even before taking over the estate in 1795, Count Jindřich Vilém decided to transform the former pheasantry into an English park and his summer residence. For your travel planning, the difference in access is important: Schönwald Summer Chateau is privately owned and not open to the public. The Jinošovská obora, on the other hand, is open to the public; there, you can walk along paths between centuries-old oaks, larches and linden trees.

Náměšťsko and the Jinošovská obora

The Náměšťsko Landscape Protection and Heritage Zone forms a triangle bounded by the municipalities of Náměšť nad Oslavou, Jinošov and Kralice nad Oslavou.
