Nature and Trails

Novozámecký rybník is a national nature reserve that protects species-rich aquatic, wetland and forest ecosystems with numerous waterbirds and wetland birds. At the same time, it is the final link in the Jestřebsko-Dokesko pond system created along the Mlýnský potok.

A yellow-marked hiking trail runs along the northern shore of Novozámecký rybník at the boundary of the cadastral area of Jestřebí. A birdwatching station and an observation pier were built at Novozámecký rybník in 2013. The European long-distance hiking trail E10 is marked in red.

Architectural Heritage and History

In Újezd, now a district of the municipality of Jestřebí, the Baroque rural Chapel of Our Lady of Perpetual Help was built in 1730. The Chapel of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Újezd has a central structure with a circular floor plan and a small tower topped by a bell, a dome and a cross.

The Church of St. Andrew in Jestřebí was built as a late Baroque replacement in 1780–1781 after a town fire in 1768 destroyed the previous church. A Baroque rectory dating from 1730 stands opposite the Church of St. Andrew in Jestřebí. Jestřebí Castle is open to visitors from 1 April to 31 October of the calendar year.

Below the Jestřebí cemetery is a group of four cellars carved into the sandstone slope; one of them bears the year 1816 on its lintel. The Jestřebí cemetery grounds include an Ionic column with an iron cross dating from 1826.
