Studená U Telče: Nature, History and Hiking Trails

For a hotel trip to Studená U Telče, the “In the Footsteps of the Hussites” hiking route is a specific point of reference: its final section leads from Jihlávka via Domašín to Studená. The entire hiking route is about 25 kilometers long. Domašín also brings its own historical connections and the “K Domašínu” biocenter into view. This lets you plan your trip around a route while also distinguishing between history, nature, and different types of trails.

Domašín: Historical Milestones

Domašín was first mentioned in written sources in 1366. The earliest known owner was Štěpán z Březnice, lord of Šternberk Castle, in the mid-14th century. These two details mark different points in history: the year 1366 denotes the first written mention, while the information about the owner points back to the mid-14th century.

Later affiliations can also be placed in context. Domašín was first annexed to Studená in 1557 and then belonged to the Studenská Rychta. From the end of the 16th century until 1849, Domašín was part of the Telč estate. For an overview, it is worth considering these milestones separately: the annexation to Studená and the later inclusion in the Telč estate are different historical relationships. Together with the first mention and early ownership history, they form a timeline that brings several aspects of the village’s history into focus.

The “K Domašínu” Biocenter and Nature Trail

The “K Domašínu” biocenter lies between Horní Pole and Domašín and covers 15.13 hectares. It includes a spring-fed hillside fen, adjoining fen meadows, and wetlands where specially protected plant and animal species occur. This brings the size of the biocenter, its different habitats, and its protected species into focus. For nature enthusiasts, it is a specific point of interest distinct from Domašín’s historical timeline.

The fourth stop on the “Discover the Region Beneath Javořice” nature trail is in Horní Pole, at the biocenter. This links a particular trail stop with the natural area. The trail opened on November 7, 2007, and consists of two overlapping circular routes. Its shorter loop passes through the first five stops. The shorter option can therefore be distinguished from the overall structure of two overlapping circular routes by the number of stops it includes.
