Dobra Voda U Pacova lies at the northern foot of the 675 m-high Jalový vrch, in the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands, in the Vysočina Region and in the Pelhřimov District. An old bell, an annual pilgrimage mass, a memorial to the fallen and a 34.6 km circular cycling route offer visitors a range of points of interest. Depending on your interests, you can plan your stay around local history and culture, a cycling trip or an event.
The chapel and local remembrance
The chapel in Dobrá Voda u Pacova houses an old bell dating from 1776. Once a year, a mass is held in the chapel during the pilgrimage for the Feast of the Most Holy Trinity. The chapel thus brings together an object with a clearly identifiable date and a recurring religious occasion. If you would like to plan your trip around this feast, check the pilgrimage date in advance.
The memorial to the fallen of the First World War commemorates eight local residents who died in the war. Together with the chapel, it offers another point of historical and cultural interest: while the mass marks a religious observance that recurs annually, the memorial honors the memory of local people who died.
Dobrá Voda as a stop on a circular cycling route
The 34.6 km circular cycling route “The Beautiful Nature from Pacov to Kámen Castle” reaches Dobrá Voda u Pacova as its fourth stop. The route runs from Kámen Castle to Dobrá Voda and then continues to Tvrziny and Lhotka. The total distance and sequence of places offer two concrete ways to understand the loop: the distance indicates its length, while the sequence shows Dobrá Voda as a stop along the route. Unlike a visit focused on local history and culture, this option centers on connecting several places by bicycle.
Local traditions and dates
During Keltský telegraf, the hill called “Vrchy” above Dobrá Voda u Pacova serves as a signal point. Keltský telegraf brings people together for conversation and to observe the night sky.
The 2025 municipal notice reports on the traditional Setkání pod Jalovým vrchem: it took place on August 2 for the 24th time and attracts local residents and visitors from the surrounding area every year. If you would like to plan your trip around this gathering, check the current date. The Dobrovodská zabijačka is also one of the traditional municipal pig-slaughter events.
The distinction matters when choosing when to travel: the cycling route can be understood in terms of its length and the sequence of places, while the pilgrimage and gatherings take place on specific dates. If local history is your focus, the bell and memorial offer two different points of interest: the bell refers to an object with a recorded date, while the memorial commemorates eight local residents who died in the war.
