Mezihorí: Ski Slopes, Circuits and Local History

Mezihorí combines a seasonal ski resort with historical landmarks in the town. Two distinct areas are therefore relevant when planning a trip: ski slopes and circuits on the one hand, and former town names and buildings on the other. The circuits can be assessed using their stated lengths and difficulty levels; the starting point for the Mezihoří–Blatno circuit is also specified. If you are looking for a hotel for a stay in Mezihorí, these local features can help you decide what to focus on during your trip.

Ski Resort and Getting There

The Mezihoří ski resort has two downhill slopes, one red and one blue. Two drag lifts serve the slopes. The resort operates seasonally, so you should take the time of year into account when planning your trip. Snowboard lessons are also available at the ski resort. It is best to check before travelling whether this service is offered during your season.

Free parking is available to visitors at the ski resort. Regular bus services provide transport to and from the ski resort. You can therefore consider bus connections and parking as separate aspects of your travel plans. Check the times for your travel date and confirm the parking information before setting off, as timetables and visitor services can change.

Circuits by Length and Difficulty

The Mezihoří–Blatno circuit starts at the ski resort, opposite the bottom station of the large drag lift. Its length is listed as 3.5 kilometres each way, and its difficulty level as easy. The each-way distance is important for planning: it indicates the length in each direction. The route is snow-dependent, and access arrangements may change. Check snow conditions and current access information before setting out.

The Mezihořský vršek circuit runs through the area around Mezihoří, Zákoutí and Mezihořský vršek. It is 15 kilometres long and of moderate difficulty. The two routes can thus be compared by their stated length and difficulty: Mezihoří–Blatno is 3.5 kilometres each way and rated easy, while Mezihořský vršek is 15 kilometres and rated moderate. When comparing them, also note that the length figures use different reference points. Both routes are snow-dependent; their maintenance depends on conditions.

Local History and Buildings

Mezihoří was founded on 10 September 1577. The town was formerly known as Gerštofr and, in German, as Gersdorf. The founding date and former names provide two distinct points of reference for the town’s history: a specific date and historical place names.

A chapel dating from 1900 stands in the upper part of Mezihoří. It was reconstructed, including its interior. Another historical trace is the Griessel Mill, also known as Höfer Mill: it is still standing, and remains of its millrace have been preserved. The chapel’s year of construction and reconstruction are key features; for the mill, the surviving building and the remains of the millrace go together. Local history thus provides a focus for trip planning alongside the seasonal snow activities.
