Bartoušov offers several specific points of interest for planning a trip: a cycling route passes through the town, two named hiking trails include it in their itineraries, and an episode in the town’s history is dated to 1515. The Šlapanka forms the western boundary; Bartoušovský rybník lies to the south. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, these different interests can help you decide whether to focus on cycling, longer hikes or the town’s history.

Cycling: Bartoušov along the route

Cycle Route No. 19 passes through Bartoušov. It runs via Sázava–Přibyslav–Bartoušov–Havlíčkův Brod–Lipnice n/Sázavou. The distance from Bartoušov to Havlíčkův Brod is given as six kilometres; the route is paved and suitable for bicycles and bicycle trailers. Check the route details before setting off, as they may change.

The information is useful in different ways: number 19 places Bartoušov among a sequence of named places, while the six-kilometre distance, paved surface and suitability for trailers make a specific ride more tangible. This lets you distinguish orientation along the route from the details on distance and surface for the section to Havlíčkův Brod.

Hiking: a circular trail or a stop along a route

On foot, two named routes differ in length and format. The 25-kilometre circular hiking trail “Na vyhlídkový vrch Vysoká” runs from Mírovka via Bartoušov and Pohled back to Havlíčkův Brod. Bartoušov is also the sixth stop on the 23.1-kilometre route “Cesta Karla Havlíčka Borovského k poutnímu kostelu sv. Anny”.

In a direct comparison, the difference between 25 and 23.1 kilometres is not the only relevant factor: the first trail is a circular route, whereas Bartoušov is listed as the sixth stop on the route to the pilgrimage church of sv. Anny. Thus, both the overall distance and the town’s described role differ. You can take both aspects into account when planning your hike rather than comparing only the distances.

A dated glimpse into the town’s history

In 1515, Jindřich Náz leased the “Na svatého Adamovy hory” mine behind Bartoušov to citizens of Brno. The episode links a specific year to a named mine and a particular action. For those interested in cultural history, it adds a different perspective on the town alongside the routes: the focus here is not on kilometres or route itineraries, but on a single historical event.

A river and pond as points of reference

The Šlapanka forms the western boundary of Bartoušov and is 39 kilometres long. Bartoušovský rybník lies south of the town; its inflow empties into the Šlapanka. This provides two distinct geographical points of reference: the river marks the western boundary, the pond lies to the south, and its inflow connects it to the river. The 39 kilometres refer to the Šlapanka as a river, while the directional details describe the waters’ locations in relation to Bartoušov.
