Rozmital - Skuhrov: Local History and Landscape Along the Vlčava

Skuhrov can be understood through several different connections: its former school and craft history, its location along the Vlčava, and the fact that part of the cadastral area lies in Třemšín Nature Park. For planning your trip, it helps to keep these aspects separate. The historical details point to former uses; the river and protected area provide context for the landscape. Trnkova tůň adds a single body of water, whose area and fishing-ground affiliation provide a connection of their own.

Local history and former uses

Skuhrov once had a one-class school. In 1818, it was moved to nearby Nesvačily. The year refers to the relocation: it marks the former school’s move from Skuhrov to Nesvačily. Both the former school site and the destination of the move are therefore relevant to the local history.

A small cross stands at an intersection in the center of Skuhrov. It adds a tangible feature to the village’s historical references.

There was once an iron hammer mill west of Skuhrov. Its former site is associated with the current local area name “U Pátého hamru.” A local area name identifies a place; here, it links the name to the former site of the hammer mill. This gives the former industrial use a specific local connection.

The school’s history and the hammer mill site are in different locations: the school’s history leads to Nesvačily, while the former site of the iron hammer mill is anchored west of Skuhrov by the local area name.

Another historical reference is the Vilhelm watermill in Skuhrov, which was converted from an old hammer mill. Its millrace is well preserved but dry; the mill is not accessible.

Landscape and bodies of water

Skuhrov lies along the Vlčava. Part of the Skuhrov pod Třemšínem cadastral area lies in Třemšín Nature Park. The nature park serves in particular to preserve forests, trees and shrubs outside forests, and the distinctive structure of agricultural land. Its conservation objective makes the nature park a landscape reference, rather than a reference to a single structure.

The two geographical references differ in scope: Skuhrov lies along the Vlčava, while the connection to the nature park applies to part of the cadastral area.

Trnkova tůň is also located within the cadastral area. It belongs to the SKALICE 4 fishing ground and covers 0.3 ha. Its area and fishing-ground affiliation describe different characteristics: 0.3 ha indicates the size of the body of water, while SKALICE 4 identifies its fishing ground. If you are considering using it, check the fishing regulations and access in advance.

The arrangements for the mill and Trnkova tůň differ: the mill is not accessible; if you plan to use the tůň, check the fishing regulations and access.
