Vysokov: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

In good weather, Vysokov offers views of the mountain panoramas of the Krkonoše and Orlické Mountains. At the same time, in the village and its surroundings, you will encounter distinctive memorial sites, natural landscapes, designated trails and events with their own character.

Landscape and Nature

Biocentrum v Luhách can be reached via the road from Vysokov to Starkoč. Turn right under the railway bridge on the Starkoč–Václavice line. The biocentre comprises meadow slopes bordered by various sections of woodland, with stands of pine, birch, oak, spruce and old beech trees.

Culture and History

The “Myslivec” memorial is a sandstone monument erected in 1906. It commemorates the Czech soldiers of the Sixth Jäger Battalion who fell in the 1866 war. Another 1866 cavalry monument in Vysokov is a 13-metre-high granite pillar with a reclining lion made of white marble.

The “Jehlanec jízdy” war memorial stands at the highest point of the battlefield. It was erected on the 35th anniversary of the Battle of Náchod and commemorates the cavalry battle between Austrian and Prussian troops. The Chapel of the Sacred Heart of the Lord was built in 1936 on the site of a burnt-down forge and is located near the “Vysokov, most” bus stop.

Trails and Railways

The “NÁCHOD – VYSOKOV – VÁCLAVICE 1866” educational trail leads from Náchod State Chateau to Václavice railway station via Vysokov.
