Svratouch: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Northwest of Svratouch, in the Stará obora forest area, lies the Filipovský spring, a forest spring that is one of the sources of the Chrudimka River. It is the starting point of the Krajem Chrudimky educational trail, which is 74 km long and has 31 information boards.

Nature and Landscape

Svratouch lies in a part of the Žďárské vrchy Highlands. The Chochol pond is located on the northeastern edge of the village; its sandy beach invites visitors to swim on sunny summer days.

The U Tučkovy hájenky natural monument is partly located in the cadastral area of Svratouch and encompasses broad valley areas with peat meadows. It protects transitional mires, nutrient-poor calcareous fens, tall-sedge communities, damp cabbage thistle meadows and mat-grass grasslands with protected and endangered plant and animal species.
