The Chapel of Our Lady on the village square and the mill trails give Hodejovice two distinct focal points for a stay: a specific place in the village and routes through the surrounding area. There are also trails offering views of the Hejlovka Valley and towards Křemešník. You can shape your stay according to whether cultural history, a mill destination, or a landscape vista is the deciding factor. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, you can take these points of interest into account when planning your trip.
Mill trails and different route lengths
The 13.5 km “Po stopách starých vodních mlýnů” walking trail leads from Pelhřimov via Peklo and Hodejovice, continuing towards Krasíkovice and Radětín. Sections run close to the Hejlovka River; the trail also offers the option of a short detour to the Hodějovický Mill. This makes the full walking route a longer option, with a single possible destination along the way as an alternative.
On the “Okolo vodních mlýnů” cycle route, there is a 500 m detour from Hodejovice to the Hodějovický Mill. The two figures describe different planning scales: 13.5 km is the total length of the walking trail, while 500 m is the length of the detour on the cycle route. If you want to include the mill site in your plans, you can choose between a longer walking route and a clearly specified short detour.
The Hodějovický Mill lies below Hodejovice in the valley of the Hejlovka stream. The original mill was already there in the first half of the 18th century. The site is therefore both a specific destination on a route and a place with historical significance.
Chapel in the village
The chapel in Hodejovice stands on the village square and is dedicated to the Virgin Mary. While the connection to the mills is discovered along trails and through the valley, this religious landmark is right in the village. A specific place in the village and the mill routes thus offer different points of interest.
Circular routes with different perspectives
The “Želivský okruh” circular route passes through the forest over Vávrův kopec, above Hodejovice. From the Těchorázek estate, the trail offers a view across the Hejlovka Valley towards Hodejovice. Here, a wooded section, a prominent ridge, and a view of the village come together.
The “Pelhřimovský prstýnek” trail reaches the road to Hodejovice. There is a tourist rest area shortly before the village entrance. Around Hodejovice, the trail also offers views towards Křemešník. These are different points of reference from those on the “Želivský okruh”: there, the view across the Hejlovka Valley towards Hodejovice is described, while here the focus is on the view towards Křemešník and the rest area before the village entrance.
These differences can help you choose the focus of your outing: the walking trail specifies its total length, the cycle route has a 500 m detour to the mill destination, and the two other routes offer different landscape perspectives. Check the latest route information before setting out, as trail conditions may change.
