Jámy: Hotels and Accommodation

In the 1470 urbarial register, Jámy was described as the monastic settlement with the largest area of fertile soil; at that time, it already comprised 31 predominantly larger agricultural holdings.

The first records of the church in Jámy, dedicated to Saint Martin, date back to 1672. It was founded by the monastic authorities.

The Na Kříbu lime tree in the cadastral area of Jámy was designated a memorial tree on 21 September 1995.

It is an old, well-preserved tree of local historical significance and an important landscape-forming function.

An idea developed in December 2017 envisaged a lookout point on the 663-metre-high Vejdoch, as well as a cross among the lime trees planted for the 50th anniversary of the founding of Czechoslovakia; this was intended as a gesture of thanks for the previous 100 years.

The municipality of Jámy considers the iron cross on the road to Žďár nad Sázavou one of the municipality’s most beautiful crosses.

The Cesta života is a path with ten stations leading from the edge of the municipality of Jámy to the summit of Vejdoch.

Each station consists of a large stone depicting a principle of life and a QR code leading to an audio recording of a verse.

On the summit of Vejdoch, between two lime trees, stands a three-metre-high sandstone sculpture of a cross called “Strom života”.

From Vejdoch, 42 municipalities, 13 church towers, two lookout towers and eight transmission masts can be seen.

Jámy has direct bus connections to Žďár nad Sázavou, Mirošov and Dolní Rožínka.
