Mühlessen: Cultural History and Nature

Děvín and Bublák a niva Plesné each protect natural features; cycling route 2179 also passes through Milhostov. If you’re looking for a hotel, these specific themes provide a basis for deciding in advance which aspect of the destination matters most to you during your stay.

Church and Historical Remembrance

St Nicholas Church in Milhostov is originally Gothic and dates from 1306. It has a fortified appearance. It was remodelled in the Baroque style in the 17th century and altered further in the 18th century. The date 1306 points to its Gothic origins; the Baroque remodelling and the changes in the 18th century belong to later phases of construction. Its Gothic origins and Baroque redesign therefore describe different periods in the building’s history. Its fortified character adds a feature of its exterior appearance to this chronology. Those interested in architectural history can consider both the church’s architectural form and the sequence of changes as points of interest.

A memorial in Milhostov commemorates the victims of the First and Second World Wars. This remembrance of the victims of war adds a different historical perspective to the church’s architectural focus. The two themes can be distinguished: the church is about its origins and alterations, while the memorial is about remembering the victims of the world wars.

Protected Nature in Děvín and Bublák

The Děvín Nature Reserve protects part of the Lužní stream, along with adjacent riverside woodland, wet meadows and peat bogs, as well as small mineral springs and mofettes. The Bublák a niva Plesné National Natural Monument also protects mofettes and natural mineral springs. The two protected areas therefore have springs and mofettes in common; Děvín additionally includes a stretch of stream and wetlands. For your trip planning, you can distinguish between the natural areas based on this difference: Are you interested in the stream, riverside woodland and marshland as well as mineral springs and mofettes? This lets you assess the protected areas by their specific natural features rather than grouping them under the general theme of nature.

Cycling as a Focus in Its Own Right

Cycling route 2179 passes through Milhostov, is 29 kilometres long and is rated easy. Its length and rating answer different planning questions: the distance in kilometres indicates the extent of the route, while the easy rating describes its stated level of difficulty. You can take both details into account separately when considering cycling as a focus of your trip. The route gives the destination its own activity-related appeal alongside its church and nature themes; its number and length also make it easy to identify as a specific route.
