Pohoří: Hotels and Accommodation

Pohoří is located in Dolní Posázaví, 11 km east of the confluence of the Sázava and Vltava rivers. The village is part of the Střed Čech Nature Park.

Landscape

The southeastern part of Pohoří is bordered by the Hornopožárský les forest, while the southwestern part is bordered by the Halířské zlatonosné pásmo gold-bearing zone. The landscape also includes the Skalsko Nature Monument, which protects wetland communities with significant and specially protected plant and animal species and is a typical section of the Říčany Upland landscape.

Culture and Trails

Pohoří is home to a memorial to those who fell in the First World War.

The Halíře Adit is an exploratory mine dating from the mid-20th century, with a unique diamond-shaped profile, and is located in the cadastral territory of the municipality of Pohoří. Visitors can see historic mining equipment and fluorescent minerals there, as well as try gold panning. The mine workings are also accessible to visitors with reduced mobility.

The Kněží hora – Halíře nature trail runs between the settlement of Pohoří-Chotouň and Kněží hora mountain. It is moderately difficult and marked with a blue-and-white square symbol; however, the markings are not sufficient everywhere.
