Strachujov: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Strachujov lies within a clearly defined natural area: the entire cadastral territory belongs to the Svratecká hornatina Nature Park.

Nature

One of the important landscape features in the Strachujov area is the Svratka floodplain. In the Strachujov landscape, the Svratka Valley forms the boundary between the Hornosvratecká vrchovina and the Nedvědická vrchovina. The geomorphological subunits include the Žďárské vrchy, Pohledeckoskalská vrchovina and Sulkovecká vrchovina.

History

A boundary document from 1269 mentions the stream “Strahwiov” and indicates that a settlement called Strachujov already existed at that time. In 1360, Strachujov is mentioned as a village; its owner, Jimram of Pernštejn, paid two groschen annually to the Doubravník monastery. In 1390, Vilém of Pernštejn assigned his wife Anežka a dowry secured against the village of Strachujov.

Hiking and Cycling

The Partyzánská stezka combines a printed map with audio stories associated with selected memorial sites of the anti-fascist resistance during the Second World War. One route leads from Telecí via Sněžné to Strachujov, while a second runs from Strachujov via Veselí to Prosetín.

Cycle route 4025, recorded by the Czech Tourist Club (KČT), passes through the cadastral territory of Strachujov; it leads via Polička, Jimramov, Dalečín and Nedvědice. In Strachujov, this route runs along a relatively narrow and heavily trafficked secondary road, without a separate cycle path, designated cycle lane or paved shoulder.

The 70-kilometre Great Circuit through the Zubří Region passes through Písečné and Dalečín, following the Svratka Valley past Strachujov to Jimramov. A new cycle route has been proposed along a farm track at the northwestern edge of the Strachujov cadastral territory; a red-marked KČT hiking route also runs along this track.

From Strachujov, hikers can reach little-known places such as the rocks known as “Dědek and Babka”.
