Meziluzi: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

The name Meziluží is associated with its location between wet meadows and floodplain forests. The blue-marked hiking trail from Vyskeř to Podkost also passes through the village.

Nature and Landscape

The Meziluží natural monument lies about 1 km northwest of the village of Meziluží. Near Meziluží is an area regarded as one of two known sites of the fly orchid (Orchis morio) in the Český ráj Protected Landscape Area. Until 1994, the old orchard on this site was used as a sheep pasture; grazing resumed in 2001.

Today, areas within the Meziluží natural site are mown or grazed by sheep and goats. In Meziluží, too, the areas were mown or grazed by sheep and goats after woody growth had been removed.

Trails and Cycling Connections

A cycling route from Kost Castle leads to the road to Dobšice and Meziluží. Beyond Meziluží, the cycling route continues through forests to Road No. 279, which leads to Žehrov. A 42.2 km route through Český ráj runs via Dobšice and Meziluží; from the Podvyskeřský mlýn junction, it follows the yellow trail to Věžák.

History and Culture

It was not until 1883 that a road reached Meziluží. Linen produced in the past was bleached on a large hill near Meziluží. The local clay-rich loam, known as Červenice, was used in Meziluží to repair tiled stoves, ovens, and clay threshing floors in barns.
