Nature and Trails

In the north of Jistebnice, the Městské sady forest park was created around a cascade of ponds. The ponds include Chadimák, Obecní, Nový and Kaplice.

Several hiking trails pass through Jistebnice. The Jistebnickými sady educational trail is an easy circular route just under five kilometres long, with ten stops. It is intended for hikers, mountain bikers and, in winter, cross-country skiers. In Jistebnice, you can also set out on cycling tours along the Greenways Čertovo břemeno cycle routes.

Notable Places

The tower of the Church of Saint Michael the Archangel is a distinctive landmark of Jistebnice. A Stations of the Cross trail leads to the Chapel of Saint Mary Magdalene on the hill southwest of and above Jistebnice. In clear weather, the chapel offers views across the surrounding landscape as far as the peaks of the Bohemian Forest.
