Křemešník Educational Trail

The peak of Křemešník is in Vysočina, near the town of Pelhřimov. The local pilgrimage church and the adjacent Stations of the Cross have been standing there for over 200 years. The peak used to be a popular pilgrimage site thanks to a well with healing water. The spring flows through the argentiferous ores of a flooded historical silver mine and it is slightly radioactive. The water is still very pure and high-quality. The educational trail leads around the peak, and it is only 3 km long. However, it passes through beautiful nature sceneries of a dense forest, and you can take a sip of water from the well.

Karasín lookout tower

The Karasín stone look-out tower, one of the most visited places in the Vysočina (Highlands) region, is located near Bystřice nad Pernštejnem and Vítochov, where you can see the early Gothic Church of St. Michael the Archangel. Karasín is impossible to miss, whether you hike the field paths or set off from the Vír reservoir along the red trail. All year round you can climb the 128 steps to a walkway from which a magnificent view opens up, particularly towards the south, where you will see the Křižanovské Highlands, the Arnolecké Mountains and the valley of the Bystřice brook with the Zubštejn castle ruins.
