Used as a military base in the middle ages, this is one of the best preserved examples of medieval fortification systems. The German poet Friedrich Schiller set his play The Robbers (1781) in the surrounding forests.
A chateau from 19th century. The castle is used as a gallery and is open to the public during the tourist season. The castle also has a café and accommodation facilities.
Přírodní park Česká Kanada
The area is valued for preserving a landscape that has been little changed by humans, as part of the nature park was part of the border zone during the previous communist era and was therefore largely left to its own devices. Thanks to this, rare, and in many places protected, species could survive here. The abundance of overgrown forests, pastures, hills, bodies of water and boulders, the dry weather, cold winters, but also the sparse population, all of this is reminiscent of the landscape of Canada.
Buses go to Nová Bystřice, Kunžak, Český Rudolec, and Slavonice. You can use a train on the line Havlíčkův Brod - Jihlava - Telč - Dačice to get further to Slavonice. The ride Jihlava-Slavonice takes about 2 hours.
