Various details about Tři Studně offer inspiration for planning a trip: swimming in Sykovec Pond, hiking and cycling opportunities, cultural connections to the Barborka and Vitulka springs, and a signpost on Náměstí EU. The village lies in the Žďárské vrchy landscape area. The offerings range from seasonal swimming conditions to leisure activities in summer and winter.
Sykovec: Swimming and the Shore
Swimming is possible in Sykovec Pond, although conditions can vary seasonally. The pond has a grassy beach and a sandy entry into the water with a very gentle slope. If you plan to swim, check the current swimming conditions before your visit. This helps distinguish the permanent description of the shore from the conditions at any given time.
Hiking, Cycling and Other Leisure Activities
Leisure activities in Tři Studně include hiking, cycling, mushroom picking and climbing. The village also offers opportunities for summer and winter tourism. These activities offer different focuses: hiking and cycling alongside mushroom picking and climbing. The tourist offering thus extends beyond the summer season into winter.
Two Routes, Different Distances
The 10 km hiking excursion “Around Sykovec and Medlov” starts in the car park in Tři Studně. The statue of Hejkal Pepín by Michal Olšiak is located at the same starting point. If you begin your hike there, you can include the sculpture as a separate sightseeing stop. Before setting out, it is advisable to check trail and parking conditions, as they may change.
For cyclists, there is the 28 km “Na Tři Studně” road loop. It leads through the area around the well-known Tři Studně sports complex and recreation area. You can distinguish between the two routes by mode of travel and distance: the hiking excursion is 10 km long and has a named starting point in the village; the road route is a 28 km loop. This allows you to decide first whether a hike or a road loop better suits your plans. Road conditions can change, so keep an eye on them before your ride.
Springs with Natural and Cultural Connections
The Barborka and Vitulka springs near Tři Studně inspired Bohuslav Martinů to compose his cantata “Otvírání studánek.” A well-marked forest path about 400 metres long leads from the edge of the village to the springs. Simple wooden benches form a natural amphitheatre beside them. Nearby, a covered shelter provides musicians with protection in bad weather. The visit can therefore be seen not only as a nature excursion, but also as a chance to explore a cultural landmark.
A Different Scale on Náměstí EU
A signpost on Náměstí EU in Tři Studně shows the distances to the world’s largest metropolises. While the hiking trail and springs draw attention to the nearby surroundings, the signpost sets a different scale: it points to distant major cities. This local detail adds a distinct perspective on distance and orientation to the places to visit.
