Radhošť: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

The present stone Church of St. George in Radhošť was built in 1773 after the original church burned down.

Culture and History

Since 3 May 1958, the Church of St. George has been protected as an immovable cultural monument. Together with the bell tower, it was classified as a cultural monument and underwent long-term restoration. In front of the entrance stands the wooden bell tower on stone foundations, covered with shingles. The surviving bell in the bell tower weighs 1,000 kg and bears an inscription stating that it was made in 1509.

The wooden bell tower was restored in 2012. A visit to the monument is planned for Christmas Eve; a viewing of the Nativity scene is also planned in the Church of St. George on Christmas Eve.

Nature

North of Radhošť, on the road to Jaroslav, lies the small Šejval pond, covering an area of 2.34 hectares. The pond and the adjacent area were declared a national nature monument on 12 May 1982 after a rare aquatic plant was discovered there. Rare plants grow in the marshy meadow by Šejval pond, including angular garlic and the broad-leaved marsh orchid.

Trails

A cycle path runs through Radhošť, offering recreational opportunities for families with children. The path follows the winding Loučná; along the Loučná, you can reach Zámrsk via the Malejov farm and past the horse paddocks in Janovičky without crossing the main road.
