Kyjov – Nature, History and Cycling Route

Kyjov is a place first mentioned in written records in 1351. For your personal planning, you can consider nature, history, activities and local life as separate topics and assign them priorities according to your own interests. The individual focuses can be considered independently; no fixed itinerary is prescribed for your personal planning.

Nature

The area around Kyjov has extensive meadows and numerous forests consisting predominantly of spruce. Several ponds are significant landscape features. A pond near Kyjov serves as a natural swimming area. Kyjov is also one of the municipalities affected by the section along the Břevnický potok from Břevnice to its confluence with the Sázava near Havlíčkův Brod; a large population of bullhead occurs there. You can incorporate the nature-related topics individually into your daily planning without having to choose a single main focus.

Cycling and Rail

The 56-kilometre cycling loop from Havlíčkův Brod to Chotěboř and back passes through Kyjov. It runs along forest and field paths as well as paved sections. The length and surface provide specific points of comparison for planning a day of cycling. Břevnice railway station is approximately 800 metres from Kyjov and is located on the Havlíčkův Brod–Pardubice railway line. You can consider the two transport connections separately, depending on which part of your planning is decided first.

Culture and History

Kyjov was probably founded during the large-scale settlement of the surrounding landscape after about 1250. In the immediate vicinity of Kyjov, approximately four kilometres to the north in the surrounding forests, lies the ruin of Ronovec Castle. The chronological classification of the settlement and its geographical relation to the castle ruin offer two different historical perspectives for your planning.

Local Life

Kyjov has a playground for small children. Kyjov also has a multifunctional playground that is used not only by local residents. In Kyjov, the municipality and the local volunteer fire brigade association jointly organised a Children's Day featuring a neighbourhood gathering. Kyjovská drakiáda is a recurring local kite-flying event organised by the volunteer fire brigade association of the municipality of Kyjov. Kyjovská olympiáda is a recurring children's sporting event held as part of Children's Day in Kyjov. The various activities and event formats can be included in your planning as separate topics alongside one another.

The playgrounds and community events represent different parts of local life.
