Jihlava District: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

In Jihlava District, specific reasons to visit range from nature and landscapes to museums and historic buildings, as well as water-based and leisure activities. The PodpoVRCH Environmental Centre at Jihlava Zoo organizes educational programs about animals, nature and ecology. PodpoVRCH is also used by interest groups, for seminars, lectures and public events. Its downward-leading spiral corridor is equipped with built-in aquariums and terrariums; the two classrooms are reminiscent of a boat and a cave.

Nature

The rare rock fern grows in the Přírodní rezervace Zaječí skok nature reserve. The Přírodní park Čeřínek nature park was established to preserve wooded landscapes, distinctive geological formations, and rare plant and animal species.

The Naučná stezka Čeřínek educational trail passes the Skalní mísy, Mrazové sruby and Žlábkové škrapy formations and the Přírodní památka Přední skála nature monument. Its rocky outcrop offers views over the park. The Naučná stezka Čeřínek is also a 6.5-kilometre circular trail with 14 stations covering local natural conditions and geomorphology.
