Jezernice offers two distinct themes to guide your trip planning: engineering and historical landmarks on the one hand, and a floodplain landscape rich in birdlife on the other. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Jezernice, you can first decide which of these themes you would like to shape your stay. Local highlights range from the arches of the viaducts to a close-up look at the history of the municipality; nature enthusiasts will find a theme of their own in Přední Familie and the adjoining stretch of the Bečva.

The Jezernice Viaducts

The Jezernice Viaducts are a technical monument. They are 10 metres high and have 42 arches; their present form dates from 1873. Their height, number of arches and date provide different points of reference: the measurements describe the structure, the sequence of arches defines its form, and the year places its present form in time. For those interested in culture, this combination of specific measurements and historical context offers a clearly defined subject.

The Church and Statue as Historical Landmarks

The other cultural sites each highlight a different period. St. Martin’s Church in Jezernice dates from the 15th century. At house number 158 stands a statue of Saint John of Nepomuk, bearing the signature J. T. and the year 1835. The church and statue offer a different perspective from the viaducts: the focus here is on a 15th-century religious building and an individual statue of a saint bearing a signature and date. This cultural perspective encompasses both architecture and a specific work of art.

A Glimpse into Community Life

Another way to explore local history is to visit the Jezernice Municipal Museum. Its exhibition, “Co všechno odvál čas” (“Everything Time Has Swept Away”), portrays life in the municipality, particularly during the first half of the 20th century. A kitchen in the exhibition includes a cupboard for storing food and dishes, a table with an old kerosene lamp, and a bench that once stood beneath the window. These details bring this domestic scene to life: the cupboard is for food and dishes, the lamp belongs on the table, and the bench’s former position beneath the window adds a spatial detail. This gives you a close-up look at everyday life in the community through its objects. The exhibition is open irregularly during municipal events or by appointment. Check opening arrangements before your visit.

Floodplain Landscape and River Habitat

On the nature side, Přední Familie is a particularly interesting floodplain landscape in Jezernice, rich in birdlife. The adjoining stretch of the Bečva is a habitat of the critically endangered Kessler’s gudgeon. These two details highlight different aspects: Přední Familie is known for the character of its bird-rich floodplain, while the stretch of river is notable as the habitat of a specifically named endangered fish species. Alongside the historical landmarks, nature enthusiasts can discover a different side of Jezernice. The stretch of river adds a habitat for a specifically named species to the character of the landscape.
