Grešlové Mýto reveals traces of different periods: a late Baroque road bridge over the Jevišovka and the prehistoric hillfort of Mírovec. There is also the Na Staré Poště complex, a group of three ponds and a yellow-marked hiking trail. For planning your visit, architectural history, archaeology and landscape can thus be considered side by side. The information covers different scales: a single structure, a building complex, an archaeological site and a route.

The late Baroque bridge over the Jevišovka

The road bridge was built over the Jevišovka in 1766, on the historic route between Znojmo and Jihlava. A late Baroque statue of Saint Nicholas stands on the bridge; the bridge is also a protected cultural monument. These three details answer different questions: the year gives the date of construction, Znojmo and Jihlava locate the historic route, and the statue is a distinct feature of the bridge’s design. Its protected status is also separate from its date: it identifies the bridge as a cultural monument, while 1766 is its year of construction. The structure thus brings together its riverside setting, transport links and religious imagery.

Na Staré Poště and its components

Alongside the Baroque bridge, the Na Staré Poště complex includes a post station for stagecoaches. The complex has late Baroque and Neoclassical features; the year 1808 is inscribed on one of its gables. In the courtyard is an open wooden coach shed supported by four masonry pillars. Several aspects come together here: the post station’s use for stagecoaches, the period in which the building complex was constructed and the shed’s specific design. Its open construction, timber and four pillars make the coach shed identifiable as a distinct structure; the date on the gable supplements the stylistic classification with a specific year.

Mírovec: hillfort and pond

The name Mírovec occurs in two different contexts. The hillfort lies on a prominent spur above the Jevišovka; the archaeological site was inhabited during the Eneolithic and the Early Bronze Age. North of Grešlové Mýto there is also a group of three ponds, the largest of which is called Mírovec. The identical names refer to different features: an archaeological site and a pond. For the hillfort, the spur and the river setting describe its topography, while the two periods mentioned place its occupation in time. The Jevišovka has two distinct spatial roles here: at the bridge, it is the river spanned by the structure; at the hillfort, it is the reference point for the spur’s elevated position.

The yellow-marked hiking trail

The yellow-marked hiking trail begins and ends at Grešlové Mýto railway station. It passes through Boskovštejn and the Černý les, goes around the Jevišovka Reservoir and continues to Jevišovice. The route description was last updated on 8 December 2006; check the yellow markings on site. The railway station, intermediate locations, forest and reservoir provide specific reference points along the route. Unlike the bridge and building complex, the focus here is not on a single structure but on a succession of place and landscape names.
