Discover Žižkovo Pole

You can get to know Žižkovo Pole through three specific features: its distinctive village layout, the Church of Saint Michael, and trails that pass through or lead towards the village. When planning a visit, the differences between the trail descriptions are particularly useful: they give the length of a long route, a marked trail starting at a named crossroads, and access via road II/351. The church adds a historical and architectural focus to this orientation.

Horácko-style village layout

Žižkovo Pole is a typical Horácko-style village: two parallel village greens—open central spaces within the village layout—and a stream in the middle define its plan. Those interested in village landscapes can focus on the layout of the village itself. The church is a distinct historical landmark; alongside it, the character of the village can be understood through the form of the overall layout.

Church of Saint Michael

The Church of Saint Michael is a historical landmark in Žižkovo Pole. It is a rectangular single-nave church; its origins are Gothic, and it was later altered in the Baroque style. The details of its design and construction history complement each other: “single-nave” and “rectangular” describe the building, while its Gothic origins and Baroque alterations place its development in context. This means the building cannot be understood solely as a Baroque structure; its history reaches back to Gothic origins. The virtual village tour also includes the church. This offer may change when the village website is updated. If you would like to use the digital tour, please check the latest information in advance.

Educational trail and marked routes

The Karel Havlíček Borovský Educational Trail passes through Žižkovo Pole. The 46.5-kilometre route is suitable for hiking and mountain biking. This length describes the educational trail as a whole; the section through the village is part of this longer route. This distinction is useful when planning to combine a visit to Žižkovo Pole with a longer outing: the route description refers to the educational trail, not to a walk just around the village.

The red-marked Cesta Karla Havlíčka Borovského trail approaches Žižkovo Pole via road II/351 because the original section is overgrown and difficult to pass. Check trail and vegetation conditions before setting out. A separate distance description applies to the yellow-marked trail: from the Pod Kateřinou crossroads, it runs 4.5 kilometres in the direction of Žižkovo Pole. The three details therefore offer different planning reference points: the total length, the distance from a named crossroads, and an approach shaped by trail conditions.

Linden avenue along road II/351

A dendrological survey from 2008, dated February 2009, records a double-sided linden avenue along road II/351 on the Dobrá–Žižkovo Pole–Macourov section. This section of road adds a landscape feature to the information about the village layout, church and trails.
