Jesenný: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

The Údolím Vošmendy educational trail is a 5.5-kilometre circular route that can be walked in both directions and follows blue- and green-marked hiking trails. It runs along the boundary of the municipalities of Bozkov, Jesenný and Roztoky u Semil and offers exceptional views of the Ještědsko-kozákovský hřbet ridge, the Jizera Mountains and the western Giant Mountains. At the same time, the educational trail provides information about the historical mining and processing of limestone and iron ore in the valley; their remains are still visible to visitors today. When it was established, eleven information boards, rest areas, a climbing facility and interactive elements for children were created.

Culture

The Renaissance fortress of Jesenný was converted into an early Baroque château; the château dates from 1664. In 1715, Jesenný Château was expanded by a chapel dedicated to Saint John the Baptist. The grounds of Jesenný Château are freely accessible.

The octagonal Chapel of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross was built in 1734 by Maxmilián Rudolf Lamotte von Frintrop. It is located in the upper part of Jesenný on Kalvárie Hill; six polychrome statues line a masonry balustrade in front of the chapel. A geological excursion route in Jesenný leads to a station dedicated to limestone quarrying.

Water

The Jesenný quarry lake is a freshwater quarry with a maximum depth of 13 metres. Underwater, visitors can see, among other things, tench, carp and koi carp, sturgeon, eels, perch, whitefish, nase, pike, catfish, trout, silver carp, zander, crayfish and pond mussels. Divers can also explore a steel tower structure, the wreck of a Volkswagen minibus and a caisson. The private Jesenný quarry is accessible only through the base; visits must always be arranged in advance.
