Pavlovsko: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Around 2 km north of Pavlovsko lie the Vrch Žďár archaeological site and the Žďár Nature Reserve. Archaeological traces and a protected rocky landscape thus come together in a geographically confined area.

Nature

The Žďár Nature Reserve protects natural beech stands on a rocky hill with extensive scree slopes. The protected area also includes a block field and remarkable lichen flora.

The “Po Žďárských studánkách přes vrchol Žďár” route leads to the Nad Pavlovskem spring and runs along the ridge to the summit of Žďár. The rock formations at the summit of Vrch Žďár offer far-reaching panoramic views.

In the Žďár Nature Reserve, located in the cadastral area of Pavlovsko, authorized persons are permitted to access the “Malý a Velký oltář” and “Vyhlídková skála” rocks outside marked trails and to climb on these rocks. Permission to climb in the Žďár Nature Reserve is valid annually from 1 July to 31 December.

Culture and History

In 1974, grey, reduction-fired and glazed ceramic shards were discovered in the Pavlovsko archaeological area when a trench was being dug by J. Zikmund. Written references associated with the Pavlovsko archaeological area date back to the 18th century.

The Dobřív Water Hammer is a fully operational technical monument dating from the late 19th century. It houses an exhibition on the history of iron processing in the Podbrdsko region and on metallurgy in Dobřív.

The Hamernický den takes place every year on the third Saturday in May at the Dobřív Water Hammer site. During Hamernický den, visitors can watch apprentices compete in the Dobřívský cvoček skills competition.

The exhibition at the Jindřich Mošna Memorial Hall was established in 2005 in a house formerly occupied by his wife's family.
