Mysletice: Village Center, Ponds and Routes

Mysletice combines a preserved settlement layout in the village center with several cycling and hiking routes, as well as ponds. When planning your trip, it is worth considering the different highlights: one cycling route is 20 km long, while another crosses hilly terrain with long climbs and fast descents. The village’s appearance, bodies of water, and trails also appeal to different interests.

Cycling and Routes Through Mysletice

Cycling route 5021 passes through Mysletice between Olší and Kostelní Myslová. The cycling route 5021 from Roštejn to Kostelní Myslová is 20 km long. The information distinguishes the section through Mysletice from the total length between the named endpoints. Another cycling route, “Kolem Javořice pro náročné cyklisty” (“Around Javořice for demanding cyclists”), also passes through Mysletice. It crosses hilly terrain with long climbs and fast descents. Two different features therefore stand out when planning your rides: the length of route 5021 and the terrain profile of the Javořice route. The “Cestou mrákotínské žuly” (“Along the Mrákotín granite route”) excursion route also passes through Mysletice.

Village Center and Religious Buildings

The village center preserves the original layout of farmsteads around the village square. The original plot division and the building layout have also been preserved. Plot division refers to how land is divided into parcels; the building layout shows how the buildings are arranged. Those interested in local history and settlement patterns can focus on how the village square, farmsteads, and plot arrangement fit together. The bell tower stands on the village square next to a general store. The tower was renovated recently. On the road toward Telč, a stone cross—a small religious monument of local significance—stands between two mature trees. The Chapel of the Virgin Mary stands on the wooded summit of Lopata Hill. The cross and the chapel differ in location: one stands beside a road between trees, while the other is on a wooded summit.

Ponds and Their Distinctive Features

Macků Pond, in the cadastral area of Mysletice, is a fishing ground. If fishing is part of your travel plans, check the applicable fishing rules and access conditions before your trip. Nový Pond lies at the eastern edge of the Mysletice cadastral area and has shoreline wetlands and waterfowl. The two ponds therefore differ clearly in their main features: Macků is a fishing ground, while shoreline wetlands and waterfowl characterize Nový Pond.

Trails, Summits and Navigation

A trail from Mysletice passes over the summit of Hora, which is 664 meters above sea level. Another trail from Mysletice runs through the forest. Beyond Olší, the trail from Mysletice joins a blue-marked hiking trail heading west. The information offers different points of reference: Hora is a named high point, the forest is a landscape feature, and the blue trail is a connection west of Olší.
