Vysoké Popovice can be explored through several specific details: the building history of the parish Church of St. John the Baptist, a Panská hospoda dating back to 1755, fruit trees on municipal land, and the Stezka permoníků for hiking or cycling. This mix can help you decide what you would like to focus on during your stay: local history, the landscape, or outdoor activities.

Church and Local History

The first written mention of Vysoké Popovice dates from 1228. The parish Church of St. John the Baptist has its own building history: originally, it was a Romanesque wooden church, probably dating from the 12th century. It was later replaced by a stone church. The parish church was renovated in 1910 and consecrated on October 23 of that year. This places an early building phase dated only approximately alongside more precise dates from 1910.

Another historical landmark is the Panská hospoda in Vysoké Popovice, dated to 1755. Together with the first written mention and the church’s building history, the inn offers an additional perspective on the town’s history. If you would like to explore the past through more than one building, you can consider these different landmarks side by side.

Landscape with a Local History

The municipal land planted with fruit trees between 1910 and 1912 is now named after its initiator, Arnošt Dusík. The focus here is not on the church’s construction or consecration date, but on a specific planting period, the type of trees, and the person who launched the initiative. This connection to the landscape adds a different perspective to local history, without being confused with the parish church’s building history.

On Foot or by Bike

The Stezka permoníků is suitable for cycling or hiking. Most of the route is planned to follow forest and field paths as well as avenues; a short section runs along a road between Vysoké Popovice and Příbram. This gives you two specific details for planning your trip: the planned route across different paths and avenues, and the short section on the road.

Arriving by Train

Vysoké Popovice railway station is on line 240 between Brno and Jihlava. The station building or covered shelter and all platforms are wheelchair accessible. For your travel planning, this provides details about both the railway line and access to the station facilities.

Sports and a September Event

The beach volleyball court in Vysoké Popovice can also be used without a reservation when space is available. Check the local conditions before your visit. Cesta pohádkovým lesem takes place every year on the first Saturday in September; check the specific event date if it is important for your trip.

The two options differ in how you need to plan your time: use of the beach volleyball court without a reservation depends on availability, while Cesta pohádkovým lesem is tied to a recurring September date. This can help you decide whether to plan an activity that may be available spontaneously or a stay around a fixed date.
