Discover Jezdovice

Jezdovice can be explored through three themes: protected moorland habitats, a themed route for hikers and mountain bikers, and architectural and local history. If you are looking for a hotel for a trip to Jezdovice, these highlights can help you assess the destination according to your interests. The specific features of the place provide more detailed guidance.

Moorland and protected habitats

Jezdovické rašeliniště is a natural monument covering an area of 2.7067 hectares; it was first designated on 3 May 1984. The area includes a fragment of an extensive wet meadow, as well as habitats of transitional mires, calcareous-free moss mires and submontane Nardus grasslands. These terms refer to different types of moorland and grassland, showing that the protected area encompasses several habitat types. It protects rare and endangered plant and animal populations. The plants listed include Triglochin palustris, Moneses uniflora and Carex pulicaris. These specific species complement the general habitat descriptions: nature enthusiasts can understand the place both through its types of moorland and through the plants named here.

Nature trail and outdoor activity

The Naučná stezka Špičák ends in Jezdovice after a ten-kilometre route with ten information stations. It is suitable for hikers and mountain bikers. The information boards cover biology, geology, geomorphology and history. This gives the route a thematic focus as well as a defined length: its content ranges from natural history to local history. Geomorphology focuses on the shapes of the Earth's surface. For the longest option, you can take a train or bus for the return journey from Jezdovice to Třešť. If you plan this option, check the timetables in advance and include the return trip in your plans.

Oak avenue and water tower

The one-sided oak avenue leading to the water tower runs along a field track and is part of a nature trail. “One-sided” describes the form of the avenue; the field track describes its course, while the nature trail indicates its inclusion in an educational route. In contrast to Jezdovické rašeliniště, the focus here shifts from protected habitats to a specific landscape feature and its place within a nature trail.

Bridge and miner statue

The stone bridge in Jezdovice is 14 metres long and 5 metres wide; it has three arches and exposed masonry without render. Its length and width describe its dimensions, while the arches and masonry are features of its construction. The bridge is considered one of the oldest in Moravia. Historical maps document it between 1770 and 1780. A four-metre-high wooden miner statue also stands on the dam of a pond in Jezdovice, commemorating the history of silver mining. The bridge and statue tell the story of the place in different ways: the bridge is notable for its construction and historical map documentation, while the statue is connected to mining. If you give architecture and history particular weight when planning your trip, Jezdovice offers two clearly distinct points of interest.
