Jedlova connects nature and local history through specific points of interest: the Kyselka mineral spring, regional cycle route No. 2135, a wet meadow area and the memory of mining. These topics appeal to different interests and help you understand the character of the place before travelling and when looking for a holiday apartment. Alongside water and river meadows, cycling and local history also come to the fore as distinct perspectives.

Kyselka: Spring and Cycle Route

The Kyselka mineral spring in Jedlová rises in the cadastral area of Jedlová on the left bank of the Kosí potok. From Stará Voda, the spring is about 500 metres to the south, along the road and near the Kosí potok. Its position on the left bank and its approximate location south of Stará Voda provide two points of reference for finding your way.

Local cycle route No. 2135 reaches Jedlová at kilometre 28.3. The signposted turn-off to Kyselka is about 150 metres from the spring. The figures refer to different things: 28.3 is the route kilometre, while the roughly 150 metres is the distance between the turn-off and the spring.

The spring has been freely accessible since the period after the Second World War. If Kyselka is an important part of your itinerary, check access before your visit.

Water and Landscape

The spring water contains more than 3,000 mg/l of carbon dioxide and has a pleasantly refreshing taste. This gives Kyselka a distinct water characteristic as well as a location on the Kosí potok. The unit mg/l indicates the amount of carbon dioxide per litre of water.

The marsh fritillary (Euphydryas aurinia) occurs in several small colonies in the U Jedlové area. The area also includes the very well-preserved upper course of the significant Kosový potok, its river meadow with predominantly wet and peat meadows, and adjoining areas consisting mainly of alder stands. The river meadow refers to the area alongside the river; wet and peat meadows and alder stands make the area’s landscape features easier to distinguish. As a nature destination, U Jedlové offers a different focus from Kyselka: here the emphasis is on the upper course, river meadow and adjoining habitats rather than a single spring.

Mining and Local History

Jedlová developed as a mining village because ore was mined in the surrounding area. In the past, the place was also known by the name Tannaweg. These two details shed light on different aspects of local history: ore mining explains the origins of the mining village, while Tannaweg is an earlier form of the place name. Together, they complement the nature themes with a historical perspective on the settlement and its name. When deciding on your trip, you can therefore explore Jedlova through both its spring and river landscape and its mining history and former name.
