Location and Local History

Dobroutov lies on Road II/351, which connects Polná and Třebíč.

The wooden Romanian cross from 1945 was replaced by a durable, true-to-the-original replica made of steel tubes. In 2014, a new cross donated by the Romanian side was unveiled in Dobroutov in the presence of representatives of the Romanian Embassy.
