Mezilesí U Pelhřimova – Culture and Cycling

Mezilesí U Pelhřimova combines historic buildings with cycling and excursions in surroundings shaped by forests, meadows, and ponds. If you are looking for a hotel for your stay, you can consider the destination in light of these different interests: culture, a longer cycling tour, or walks. The sights and the cycling tour from Pacov offer specific points of reference.

Church and Protected Monuments

The first written mention of Mezilesí dates from 1352. The village’s dominant landmark is the originally Gothic Church of St. James the Greater. It is listed as a legally protected cultural monument. Its age gives it the appearance of a former watchtower castle. The church thus connects the history of the place with a striking architectural impression.

Another protected monument is located in the settlement of Zelená Ves: the statue of St. John of Nepomuk. Karbanův mlýn offers another architectural point of interest. The mill retains the character of an original mill; the complex includes residential and agricultural buildings as well as a small pond. Access to Karbanův mlýn is restricted. Take this restriction into account when planning if you intend to visit the mill complex.

Cycling Tour from Pacov and Routes in the Village

A cycling tour from Pacov is 41 km long and starts and ends in Pacov. It leads to Mezilesí and the Church of St. James the Greater. On the way there, the route climbs and winds around Mount Strážiště. The climb therefore describes a section on the way to Mezilesí, while 41 km is the total length of the tour.

The cycling tour uses Class III roads, asphalt roads, cycle paths, and forest and field tracks. In addition to the distance, the variety of route types and surfaces is another point to consider when planning. As route conditions can change locally, check them before setting off. A cycle route also runs through Mezilesí. The 41-km tour is defined by its start and finish in Pacov; the additional cycle-route reference concerns a route through the village. These details offer different points of reference for planning your trip.

Landscape and Excursions

The surroundings of Mezilesí are shaped by forests, meadows, and ponds, and invite you to go for walks and excursions. This means you can also plan your stay around the landscape, independently of the specific cycling tour. If you are weighing up cycling and walks, there are different points of reference: the tour is described in terms of length, climb, and route types, while walks and excursions are tied to the landscape around Mezilesí. This can help you decide whether you would rather spend your time on a defined cycling tour or exploring on foot.
