History and Culture

Silver mining near Šebestěnice resumed around 1570. In 1572, Havel Šiška was entrusted with managing a mine in the silver mountains near Šebestěnice.

Water Landscape

The Šebestěnický stream is a right-bank tributary of the Vranidolský stream. It flows through the municipalities of Šebestěnice and Chlum and is 7 km long.

Historically, the Šebestěnický stream fed a chain of eight ponds. These historic ponds formed a closely connected chain designed to retain as much water as possible.

Návesní Pond is the only surviving pond of the original system of eight ponds on the Šebestěnický stream. It covers 1.04 ha, is now filled with water, and is used for fish farming.

All eight ponds are marked on maps from the First Military Survey dating from the second half of the 18th century; on the next survey, from the early 19th century, only two ponds are shown.
