The first written mention of Zhoř U Mladé Vožice dates back to 1357. Evidence of mills, a memorial site, and the rolling forest-and-farmland landscape offer further perspectives on the village. When planning your visit, it is worth distinguishing between historical landmarks, the educational trail that runs through the village, and recreational facilities with different access information.
Mill History and Remembrance
Another historical landmark is the visitation of 1654, which recorded the Horní Mill as one of the five mills in the Mladá Vožice estate. The dates shed light on different aspects: 1357 marks the first written mention of the village, while 1654 refers to a historical list of mills.
The Horní Mill remained in operation until around 1952; its buildings are now used for recreation. The Horní, Vobořilův, Kříženecký, Špirytův Mill lies southeast of the village center. The mill’s history thus includes both a time reference and a specific location.
The memorial to the victims of the Second World War commemorates five men who were killed on May 6, 1945. It stands beyond Zhoř U Mladé Vožice, on the road to Mladá Vožice. The precise date and location give this memorial site a distinct connection to the history of the village.
Village and Landscape
The administrative area of Zhoř U Mladé Vožice is characterized by a distinctly rolling to varied forest-and-farmland landscape. Its features include forests, bodies of water, and small groups of trees. The village layout, including the Vrtiškův rybník pond, is also designated as an urban planning asset in the municipal plan. The character of the village and the landscape features of its administrative area are therefore presented side by side.
The Blaník Protected Landscape Area extends northeast of Zhoř U Mladé Vožice. This is a regional directional reference, while the description of forests, bodies of water, and groups of trees refers to the village’s administrative area.
Educational Trail and Recreational Facilities
The Stříbrná osmička educational trail runs through Zhoř U Mladé Vožice. If you include it in your plans, check the route status before setting out. This lets you plan your route based on up-to-date information without assuming a walking time or a specific route.

There is also a children’s playground with play equipment and outdoor fitness equipment, which is freely accessible to local residents of all ages.
