Zadní Střítež: Rural Landscape and Local History

Zadní Střítež offers both a rural setting and historical points of interest for planning your trip. Fields, pastures and wooded strips are part of the landscape; quiet paths and historic farmsteads characterize the village. The Novákova lípa memorial lime tree and several historical references provide tangible points of connection to the village’s past. Depending on whether you place greater emphasis on time outdoors, a distinctive tree or historical topics, your choice of destination will have a different focus.

Rural Surroundings and Activities

The landscape around Zadní Střítež includes fields, pastures, small ponds and wooded strips. Quiet paths and historic farmsteads characterize the village. Walks and hiking trips are possible in the surrounding area. This distinction matters when planning your trip: the landscape describes the setting, the paths and farmsteads characterize the village itself, and walks and hiking trips are possible activities in the surrounding area.

Novákova lípa as a Tangible Point of Interest

The Novákova lípa memorial lime tree is located on the grounds of the Novákova farmstead. Its age is estimated at around 600 years, and its trunk circumference is more than six meters. These details describe two different features: the age gives a sense of its place in time, while the trunk circumference provides a concrete measure of the tree’s size. Its age remains explicitly an estimate. There was once a platform in its crown where people sat. This former use adds a cultural-historical dimension to the measurements. The lime tree is therefore a tangible point of interest for travelers interested in nature and local history.

Historic Sites and Timelines

A written record from 1381 mentions a village chapel and a pond in Zadní Střítež. In the 14th century, there was also an estate belonging to a Vladyka. A small castle was built in the village after 1616. The timeline helps put these references in context: the 1381 mention falls within the 14th century, when the estate is also situated; the castle was built only after 1616. The references also concern different things: the chapel and pond are mentioned together, while the other accounts relate to an estate and the later construction of a castle. Unlike the dates in the village’s history, the age of the memorial lime tree is an estimate; both provide different points of reference in time.

An Announced Masopust Procession

A traditional Masopust procession through the village, accompanied by music and followed by an evening get-together, was announced for February 25, 2017, in Zadní Střítež. The Masopust procession adds a more recent, dated highlight alongside the older historical references. If you would like to combine your stay with a festival, check current dates.
