Věžnička: Holiday apartments and houses

In Věžnička, marked trails and tangible traces of the village’s history converge. A blue-marked hiking trail runs through the village from Jihlava via Polná to Žďár nad Sázavou. The old underground cellars, known as Lochy, are located mainly around the village square and along the main road. They are considered to be carefully maintained and still in use.
