Karle: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

The Loučná springs in Karle; at the same time, the Gothic Church of Saint Bartholomew is already mentioned in the year 1340.

Culture and History

The Church of Saint Bartholomew stands on the northern side of an enclosed cemetery. A mortuary is located on its eastern boundary wall.

The Chapel of Saints Cyril and Methodius stands in Karle, near Ostrý Kámen. It is a late Baroque subsidiary chapel from the second half of the 18th century.

Svatá Trojice was a destination for pilgrims. The place is named after a sandstone statue dating from 1823.

The earlier settlement of the Karle area was probably connected with the Trstenická Road.

Spring Area and Landscape

A monument called “Kapka” stands at the source area of the Loučná in Karle. This source area also includes a natural stone wall with built-in benches for resting.

Svatá Trojice lies at the edge of the forest on the Javornický Ridge. A hexagonal wooden shelter with a bench and a map of the cross-country ski trails in the Svitavy region stands near Svatá Trojice. There is also an information board with a panoramic photograph and descriptions of the places visible on the horizon.

Routes to Svatá Trojice

The “Na pomezí Čech a Moravy” educational trail leads to Svatá Trojice as its fifth stop; it also leads to the site of Nejsvětější Trojice, from where Ostrý Kámen and Svitavy can be seen. A green-marked hiking trail from Ostrý Kámen to Kukle leads to Svatá Trojice. In winter, a marked cross-country skiing route leads there.
