Nature

The Vyšenské kopce National Nature Reserve is considered the most valuable natural area in the Blanský les Protected Landscape Area. It protects communities of thermophilous plants and animals on limestone substrate and includes meadows, shrubs, and forests with a naturally composed species structure.

The Cvičák Nature Monument comprises dry and mesic meadows as well as scattered woody vegetation. It is located in the cadastral areas of Vyšný and Český Krumlov. The former motocross track in the nature monument is still used by cyclocross enthusiasts.

Trails

The Granátník nature trail can be started in Český Krumlov, particularly in the Vyšný district. It can be reached on foot or by car; parking is available at the Nový Dvůr car park. The nature trail is 8.5 km long and has a low level of physical difficulty.

Before setting out on the nature trail, Vyšný has a local children's playground.

History

After 1945, an 11 m deep exploration adit, shaft No. 42, was created on the western slope of Liščí hora in the Cvičák Nature Monument to investigate a graphite deposit. Today it has been filled in; the area is secured with a wooden fence and information panels.

At the end of the walk to Vyšenské kopce, pits from graphite mining are still visible on the outskirts of Český Krumlov near the Vyšný residential area. The first written mention of the village of Vyšný dates from 1272.

Routes

The Malý lazecko-vyšenský circuit is an easy, 14 km paved cycling loop. From the Vyšný district, it leads downhill via new switchbacks to the sports complex.

The nature carriage ride passes through Lazec, Vyšný, Český Krumlov, and Dobrkovice. Refreshments in the carriage or a stop for a picnic are possible.

Once Vyšný has been chosen as your place of stay, you can book a hotel there.
