An interactive museum, a Jewish cemetery with around 300 gravestones, and a brewing tradition more than 400 years old give you several reasons to visit Malešov. The Vrchlice also serves as a reference point for a walking route from Kutná Hora and a nature trail. This makes it easy to plan your stay around local history, brewing culture and nature.

Local history at the Muzeum Malešov

With interactive exhibits, the Muzeum Malešov presents local business life, local associations, notable residents and the Hussite victory at Malešov. This combination draws attention both to social life and to a historical event in the town. The themes offer two perspectives on Malešov’s history, ranging from everyday local life to Hussite history.

Jewish cemetery on the outskirts

The Jewish cemetery lies on the outskirts of town, in the direction of Roztěž, beyond the Vrchlice valley; it was established in 1735. The children’s section contains about 20 gravestones, while the cemetery as a whole has around 300. These figures refer to different scales within the same site. Together with the location details, the founding year and approximate total help place a visit in both historical and geographical context.

Tours at Tvrz Malešov

Tvrz Malešov offers public tours by prior arrangement. If a tour is part of your plans, arrange a date in advance and confirm it before your visit, as visitor arrangements may change.

Brewing tradition and history-inspired cuisine

Pivovar Malešov continues a brewing tradition more than 400 years old at the Malešov estate. It brews beer using the original method, without filtration or pasteurization. Two distinct aspects take center stage: the long-standing connection to the estate’s history and a specifically stated production method. For anyone interested in local craftsmanship and food, this offers a clear connection to the area’s brewing culture.

At “Hostina šlechtice” in the stylish Krčma na konci světa, history-inspired dishes are served with Malešov beers. The offering depends on the dates. Check whether Hostina is available during your stay so you can plan this pairing of food and beer into your trip.

Walking routes along the Vrchlice

Malešov can be reached on foot from Kutná Hora via the red-marked trail along the Vrchlice. The trail markings and its riverside route provide clear guidance for this approach; check local trail conditions before setting out. A nature trail runs through the natural surroundings along the Vrchlice stream. These two details help with different decisions: one concerns walking to Malešov from Kutná Hora, while the other describes the character of the nature trail. This gives you both route guidance and the nature experience to consider when planning.

Coordinate your travel dates and accommodation

If a tour or Hostina is important to your trip, confirm these details before booking accommodation: arrange the tour and check whether the food offering is available during your travel dates.
