Millions of years in the making, the Železné hory (Iron Mountains) offer visitors a wide variety of geological phenomena; combine a visit with trips to other interesting places. A extraordinarily diverse range of geological features can be seen in, for example, the sandstone rock formations of Toulovcovy maštale (Toulovec’s Stables), the Museum of Limestone Mining in Závratec near Třemošnice, the Museum of Shoes and Masonry in Skuteč and the small geopark in Chotěboř. Marked cycle and hiking trails lead to many of these places. You can, for example, take the Magma educational cycle trail from Hlinsko to Chrudim, or the educational trail around the village of Polánky in the heart of the Železné hory.

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.
