Mysliv: Discover Cultural Trails and Landscapes

For a stay in Mysliv, it is worth exploring the themes that shape the town and its surroundings: the Stehlíkova Trail, local history, and a panorama stretching from Šumava to Český les. Other highlights include the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and landscapes that extend beyond the town itself. If you are looking for a hotel, these varied points of interest can help you choose Mysliv as a destination to suit your interests.

Stehlíkova Trail: Nature, History, and Literature

The Stehlíkova Trail is a circular route that begins and ends in Myslív. The route is divided into seven stops. Topics include local flora and fauna, as well as the history of the villages and landscape; these are connected with the literary work of writer Ladislav Stehlík. The circular route thus brings together nature, village and landscape history, and literature. Rather than focusing on just one aspect of the landscape, the trail combines nature, regional history, and literature.

Panoramas and Other Landscape Views

The Stehlíkova Viewpoint above Myslív offers a panorama of Šumava: the view stretches from Kleť via Libín, Bobík, Boubín, Javorník, Antýgl, and Modravská hora to Český les. From the sports area, a route via the Stehlíkova Alley and an easy path leads to a tourist shelter. The viewpoint thus offers a distinct landscape highlight alongside the themed circular trail.

Another route with landscape views is the Pohoří–Myslív–Nehodív–Loužná circular trail. It offers views of the surrounding countryside. Unlike the panorama from a single viewpoint at Stehlíkova, this route offers the option of a circular trail with views across the landscape.

Church and Regional History

The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary is considered probably the oldest building in Myslív and is thought to date from the mid-12th century. The history of Myslív and its surroundings is also connected with a Cistercian monastery that stood below Zelená Hora. The church offers a focus on a single building and its probable date of construction; the monastery connection adds a broader perspective on the history of the surrounding area.

Nature Around Myslív

Near Myslív lie the Dolejší dráhy, former communal pastures where numerous protected and endangered plant species grow. The Plánický hřeben Nature Park covers 7,851 hectares in the summit area of the Plánická vrchovina, in the wider region. The two sites represent different scales: Dolejší dráhy combines its former use as pastureland with the plant life found at that particular location, while the nature park represents a larger regional landscape. For trip planning, this complements the panorama from the viewpoint with a specific natural feature nearby and a broader regional context.
