Vysoká offers several distinct reasons to stay: a hiking route to a scenic peak, tourist walks in the surrounding area, a cycling loop and horseback rides in nature. In 2024, the municipality also reported nature information boards at two named locations. You can plan your trip by starting with the question of what kind of outing you would like to focus on. The options differ in form: hiking and cycling follow named routes, the riding club offers horseback rides, and the nature information boards each have their own connection to a particular place.
Hiking: a summit destination and two shorter options
The KČT hiking route leads to the scenic peak of Vysoká, at 585 metres above sea level. The area around Vysoká is also suitable for tourist walks. The peak is therefore a specific destination on the hiking route, while walks offer a more general reason to explore the area. The KČT route can be shortened to 13.5 kilometres as far as Mírovka or 18 kilometres as far as Pohled. Mírovka is the shorter option; continuing to Pohled adds 4.5 kilometres. Both endpoints have train connections. If you plan to travel by train, check the services before your trip. The different route lengths and destinations give you two clearly distinct options for planning the scope of your hike.
Nature information boards at the village square and pond
A 2024 municipal notice places the nature information board “Ptáci na krmítku” (“Birds at the Feeder”) on the village square in Vysoká, in front of house no. 6. That same year, the municipality reported the “Rybník” (“Pond”) board at Novosvětský Pond. The titles distinguish the two nature themes as well: “Ptáci na krmítku” means “Birds at the Feeder,” while “Rybník” means “Pond.” The locations cited also establish a clear spatial distinction: one board is on the village square, the other by the pond. If you would like to include nature themes in your travel plans, you can consider these two locations separately.
Cycling loop or horseback ride
The Havlíčkův Brod – Okrouhlička – Vysoká – Havlíčkův Brod cycling loop is 25.5 kilometres long. This provides a specific loop with a stated total distance for planning a cycling trip. It differs from the KČT hiking route, which offers two shorter options with different destinations. The Vysoká riding club offers agritourism in the form of horseback rides in nature. Here, the focus is on riding rather than a cycling route with a stated distance. Cycling and horseback riding are therefore two different ways to include physical activity in your travel plans; which one is a better fit depends on the kind of outing you prefer.
A historical landmark of Vysoká
The first written mention of the municipality of Hohentann (Vysoká) dates from 1308. Hohentann is the historical name associated with this early mention. The year provides a specific point of reference for the area’s history and adds a historical perspective to plans for hiking, cycling or horseback riding. If you would like to learn more about the place name and its history alongside your outings, this offers a clear point of reference.
Plan your stay around your own interests
When looking for a holiday apartment, your main planned activity can be a useful starting point. The hiking route offers two named shorter distances, the cycling loop has a stated total distance, and the riding club offers horseback rides in nature. Consider which of these options you would most like to shape your stay.
