Javorník U Vlašimi offers several distinct attractions: the Kalamajka lookout tower, Javornická hůra, various routes to Javorník, as well as leisure and cultural spots. The combination of landscapes, trails and local attractions gives your stay several possible focuses. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Javorník U Vlašimi, you can first decide whether you want to focus on views and trails or on leisure and cultural attractions.

Views and Landscape

The Kalamajka lookout tower is open to the public free of charge and is unstaffed; access is provided after borrowing a key. Check the key arrangements before your visit, as they may change. There are 117 steps to the viewing platform. This gives you two specific points to consider when planning your visit: access with a key and the climb up the stairs.

West of Javorník lies the distinctive Javornická hůra, visible from far away; it is 583 metres high. Until the beginning of the 19th century, the hill was bare and treeless. At that time, it offered views across a landscape several dozen kilometres away. The time reference places the distant views in the earlier, treeless landscape; at the same time, Hůra remains a distinctive landmark west of Javorník, visible from far away.

Routes to Javorník

A green-marked hiking trail leads to Javorník and continues through Černý les. A forest path from the Peklo inn leads to Javorník via the northern foot of Javornická hůra. From Mnichovice, there are two options: one goes around the western slope of Hůra, while the other crosses the summit of Horka. To choose a route, you can use the different reference points: the marked continuation through Černý les, the starting point at the Peklo inn, or the choice between the western slope and Horka from Mnichovice. The options therefore differ in their markings, starting points and terrain. Horka and Javornická hůra thus refer to two different terrain features in the route descriptions.

Leisure and Local History

The V Markovech recreation area has a small multipurpose pool with a slide. Javorník’s municipal tennis court is also available for leisure. The two recreational options offer different experiences: the pool in the recreation area on the one hand, and the tennis court as a municipal facility on the other.

The Chapel of St. Ludmila was reconstructed in 1993. A well-maintained memorial commemorates those who fell in both world wars. The two cultural attractions have different historical emphases: the chapel’s reconstruction is associated with a specific year, while the memorial focuses on commemorating those who fell. They also provide two points of reference in time: the 1993 reconstruction and the remembrance of those who fell in both world wars.
