Stropešín lies on the right bank of the Dalešice Reservoir. Two main themes emerge for planning a trip: spending time on the water with boat trips and activities on land, and the history of the village, which ranges from prehistoric finds to more recent buildings. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Stropešín, these interests can help you decide whether the destination is right for your stay. The Třesov landing stage offers a direct connection to the reservoir; the village’s history provides a different focus.

Boats, trails and views at the reservoir

The Třesov landing stage is located near the Stropešínský most between Třesov and Stropešín. It serves as a boarding and disembarking point for boat trips. On both sides of the Dalešice Reservoir, you can combine boat trips with walks or cycling tours. This lets you bring time on the water and activity on land together in one stay.

Route 5107 continues from Stropešín to Dalešice; check the signs before setting out. A detour of about 500 metres from Stropešín to the Stropešínská vyhlídka at the Dalešice Reservoir is also recommended. Check the path conditions and signs before taking this detour. The difference is practical when choosing your destination: Route 5107 leads to Dalešice, while the detour takes you to the viewpoint at the reservoir.

Traces from different eras

Finds of polished stone tools attest to Neolithic settlement in Stropešín. The settlement was first mentioned in writing in 1125, under the historical name Strupišin. The prehistoric settlement dates from long before this first written mention; the two details mark distinct early periods in the village’s history.

The local chapel is a prominent landmark in the municipality and probably dates from the second half of the 19th century. The Stropešínský most was built in 1979, making it later than the chapel, which is believed to date from the second half of the 19th century. The reinforced-concrete structure is 260 metres long, has three spans and is supported by two piers.

The municipality once included the hamlet of Stropešínský mlýn, with a sawmill on the Jihlávka River. This adds a historical connection to the settlement and the river alongside the buildings in the village’s history.

Planning your stay

Stropešín has a general store. If you are planning to run errands, check its opening hours in advance. When looking for a holiday apartment, consider what you want to focus on during your trip: time at the reservoir with boating and tours, or local history with its chapel, bridge and historical traces. This can help you decide before searching which themes you want to shape your stay most.
