Those planning a stay in Mysliv can choose between a themed walking trail, local history and far-reaching views across the landscape. The Stehlík Nature Trail is a circular route with seven stops. The Stehlík Lookout above Mysliv offers something different: a panorama featuring named peaks and mountain ranges. Mysliv therefore offers cultural and landscape-related points of interest that can be given different levels of emphasis when planning the day.

Circular Routes with Different Focal Points

The Stehlík Nature Trail explores the local flora and fauna, as well as the history of the villages and landscape in connection with the literary work of writer Ladislav Stehlík. Nature, village history and literature are thus all part of the route’s profile. Its seven stops structure the circular route, providing a clear framework for a visit that takes an interest not only in the landscape but also in its cultural and natural features.

Another circular route, Pohoří – Myslív – Nehodív – Loužná, offers views of the surrounding landscape. The two routes differ in their specific points of reference: the Stehlík Nature Trail starts and ends in Mysliv, while the other circular route is identified by its sequence of place names. You can therefore choose between seven stops, with both the start and finish in Mysliv, and a route defined by its sequence of places and its landscape views.

Panorama from the Stehlík Lookout

The Stehlík Lookout above Mysliv offers a panorama of the Šumava stretching from Kleť through Libín, Bobík, Boubín, Javorník, Antýgl and Modravská hora to Český les. From the sports complex, access is via Stehlík Alley and a comfortable path leading to a tourist shelter. The many named peaks and mountain ranges give the viewpoint a clearly defined landscape panorama. This makes the panorama a distinct attraction alongside the literary and historical themes of the nature trail.

Church and Local History

The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary is thought to be the oldest building in Mysliv; its origins are tentatively dated to the mid-12th century. The history of Mysliv and its surroundings is also linked to a Cistercian monastery that stood below Zelená Hora. These are two distinct historical connections: the church in the village, whose date is given with due caution, and the link between local history and the former monastery site. Visitors interested in the history of religious architecture can consider these local and regional connections together without conflating them into a single story.

Nature in the Surrounding Area and Region

Near Mysliv are the Dolejší dráhy, former communal pastures that are home to numerous protected and endangered plant species. They add a specific natural point of interest to the flora and fauna themes of the Stehlík Nature Trail. Further afield, the Plánický hřeben Nature Park covers 7,851 hectares in the summit area of the Plánická vrchovina. The nature-related attractions therefore range from plants growing on former pastureland to a nature park on a larger scale in the mountainous summit area.
