For a trip to Horní Radslavice, two specific perspectives present themselves: the landscape around the Svatoslavský potok and the town’s recorded history. The mountain, hiking trail and pond add different ways to explore the area.

Landscape along the Svatoslavský potok

The valley of the Svatoslavský potok shapes the landscape, especially in the southern and eastern parts of the area. It includes floodplains and steep, mostly wooded slopes. To the south, the area borders the Přírodní park Třebíčsko nature park; the stream also forms the boundary. East of Horní Radslavice lies Mount Strážnice, which is 564 metres high. The Svatoslavský potok separates the town from the mountain, and Strážnice offers views of the surrounding landscape.

A tributary rises in a wooded area west of Horní Radslavice, below Mount Posekaný, and flows into the Svatoslavský potok below the settlement. Thus, the waterscape includes not only the main valley but also a western wooded area and the confluence below the settlement.

Hiking, views and water

A blue-marked hiking trail runs through the cadastral area of Horní Radslavice. This provides a specific connection to the surroundings for anyone considering hiking as part of their trip. The trail runs through the cadastral area, while nearby Strážnice, to the east, offers views of the landscape. These are different points to consider when choosing activities.

The Luční pond lies west of Horní Radslavice and offers opportunities for swimming and fishing. If you plan either activity, check the current conditions at the pond in advance. There is also a bell tower in the village square of Horní Radslavice. Several historic crosses are located in the town and its surroundings. The bell tower is specifically located in the village square, while the crosses extend into the wider local area.

Local history in chronological order

The first written mention of Horní Radslavice dates to 1377. In 1409, Ladislav z Kravař na Meziříčí sold the town, with the consent of Anežka, daughter of the late Jan of Meziříčí, to Janko, Štědroň and Mikuláš of Bochovice. Thus, an early written mention and a later sale recorded with names and consent stand as separate milestones.

In 1436, a dispute over Raclavice, the historical name of Horní Radslavice, arose over the inheritance of Bochovice. The following year, the parties reached an agreement. The sequence therefore moves from the first mention to a sale, then to an inheritance dispute and the agreement that followed. Those interested in local history can read the dates as a chronological sequence of different events.

Location for planning your trip

Horní Radslavice lies on road II/349 between Bochovice and Pohořílky, a district of Otín. This location on the road complements the orientation provided by the valley, stream and mountain with two named reference points. When looking for a holiday apartment in Horní Radslavice, you can weigh up whether hiking trails, waterways, views or local history matter most to you when choosing your destination. The specific location of your accommodation should then suit your own plans.
