ZDARSKE VRCHY - THE CHANGING LANDSCAPE

A dark fearsome forest, so far untouched by human hands. Trails trodden by bison and elk, remnants of a feast – a bear or a wolf pack? A white-throated dipper hunting in a stream. A world of large animals, as well as those barely perceptible to the naked eye, in close connection with plants and fungi. In the 13th century, the great pan-European colonization swept across the Žďárské vrchy landscape and began to change it significantly. People with tools appeared at the edges of the boundary forest. The inhabited landscape changed its appearance. Most of the boundary forest was replaced by fields, pastures, and meadows, lined with field boundaries and hedges; ponds, mills, hammer mills and sawmills appeared on the streams and rivers. Nature conservation has a long tradition in Žďárské vrchy. In 1933, Žákova hora near Cikháj was declared a protected area. To preserve the heritage of this cultural landscape, which is so connected with nature, Žďárské vrchy Protected Landscape Area was declared in 1970. Mountain cottages, memorial trees, and important architectural works remain in it. The most distinctive is the pilgrimage church of St. John of Nepomuk on Zelená hora.
