Discover Pokojovice

Pokojovice reveals its distinctive character where water, a rural settlement structure and the landscape are closely interconnected. The village lies in the valley of the Stařečský stream and preserves traditional farmsteads and houses arranged along the pond shores. This creates a village setting where you can experience not just individual sights, but a cohesive environment of waterside vegetation, gardens, orchards and meadows.

Ponds and landscape around Pokojovice

The Stařečský stream, with its waterside vegetation and meadows, is designated as a landscape feature of value in Pokojovice. One of the defining water areas is Horní rybník, one of two historic ponds on the Stařečský stream. The settlement structure lined with ponds is also considered a characteristic element of the village’s urban composition. Those interested in established village landscapes, regional architectural forms and landscape areas will therefore find a motif here that runs through several parts of Pokojovice. Šibeník, rising to 578 m, lies north of the village. The hill is a natural landmark of the surrounding area and is also designated as an important viewpoint. The deep Farský les forest extends west of Pokojovice. Together with the stream valley and the open meadows, it creates a clear contrast between the wooded elevation, the watercourse and the agriculturally shaped surroundings.

Trails for active days

A marked green hiking trail runs through the Pokojovice area. Its route leads via Kobylí hlava and Steklý rybník to Krahulov railway station. This allows you to explore the surroundings along several landscape features without reducing the character of the village to a single viewpoint or pond. Cyclists can also find a specific regional connection: Nationally marked cycle route No. 5217 between Pokojovice and Dobrá Voda runs through the cadastral area of Pokojovice. When planning a stay, you can therefore choose between a hiking route with several stops and a designated cycling connection. The two options have different focuses, but both remain closely connected to the landscape and neighboring villages.

History and village life

Pokojovice is first mentioned in writing in 1190. This early reference adds a historical period to the settlement’s present-day appearance that extends far beyond the visible pond shores and houses. However, the connection between history and the present remains particularly vivid in the village setting itself: the traditional farmsteads, ponds and green surroundings together form the characteristic structure of Pokojovice. At Dolní rybník, one area is used as an ice-skating rink in winter and as a volleyball and nohejbal court in summer.
