When deciding whether to visit Jizbice, you can choose from a range of topics: Písák Jizbice, Koupaliště Zavadilka, trails in Vypáleniny Forest, and places of remembrance in Jizbice. Their specific features can help you decide whether to focus your stay on nature, trails, the pool, or local history.

Písák Jizbice: nature trail and amphibians

Písák Jizbice is open to the public and has visitor facilities and a nature trail. A children's forest trail with 15 stations is 410 metres long. Písák is also home to five specially protected species of newts and frogs. During your visit, use only the paths and footpaths.

These details give the place two clearly defined points of interest: the children's forest trail with its stations and the protected amphibians. If you spend time there, observe the requirement to keep to the paths; it is one of the specific conditions of visiting.

Koupaliště Zavadilka: pool and facilities

The concrete pool at Koupaliště Zavadilka measures 27 × 55 metres; the water depth ranges from 0.2 to 2.0 metres. The water is not recirculated; instead, a constant supply flows in from a private well. These details describe the facility; check the current bathing-water quality before swimming.

Facilities include portable sanitary facilities with separate toilets, a urinal, and showers with running hot and cold water. There is also a snack stand. The sanitary facilities and snack stand may be available seasonally. When planning, both the pool's dimensions and depth and the possible seasonal availability of the facilities are therefore relevant.

Forest trails and cycling route

The Stezka Hemžílci od Stračího potoka was created in 2022 and features 15 figures. It is marked in the forest with a blue “H”. Maps of the route are available at the fire station in Zavadilka and at Písák in Jizbice. The trail lies in Vypáleniny Forest, away from Jizbice and Zavadilka. The Stračí potok flows through the forest, which is also home to springs and ponds.

A different option is the cycling tour “Z Nymburka do zoo a na zámek Loučeň”. In the second edition of a regional cycling brochure, published in 2023, it runs from Loučeň via Jizbice to Čilec. If you are considering this route for a ride, check its current course beforehand, as route conditions can change. The two routes therefore differ not only in their described form: for the Stezka, details include its markings and where to find maps, while the cycling tour describes a route between three named places.

Local history and places of remembrance

Jizbice was first mentioned in writing in 1223; at that time, the Vladyka Pavlík had his seat there. A regional memorial bench commemorates Slavoboj Tusar, a Czech typographer and graphic artist born in Jizbice. Tusar lived from 17 October 1885 to 5 October 1950.

Work on crosses and a bell tower also forms part of the area's more recent history: the crosses in Jizbice and Zavadilka were repaired, and the bell tower in Zavadilka was reconstructed. The work was completed in summer 2026. When the roof of the bell tower was dismantled, a glass container holding documents about earlier work from 1912 and 1995 was removed. The dates thus mark two earlier phases of work, while the most recent restoration was completed in summer 2026.

Another surviving feature in Jizbice is Havranská studánka, a covered spring that is still maintained today. Together with the memorial bench and the work on the crosses and bell tower, local history offers several different points of interest that you can explore independently of the nature and trail themes.
