Koroužné: Hotels and accommodation

Koroužné lies in the Svratka Valley south of Bystřice nad Pernštejnem. Near the municipality, the river describes a bend from northeast to southwest around Koroužné. About half a kilometre upstream, the Svratka forms the Hastrmanka pool, which local tradition associates with a water spirit.

Mining

The Korouženská adit is 104 metres long. It lies about 200 metres northeast of the bridge in Koroužné, at the foot of a steep wooded slope and to the right of the road from Koroužné to Vír. Its entrance is secured by metal doors; the front section is flooded to a depth of up to one metre.

Důl sv. Felixe (Zemanovo pole) preserves the remains of silver ore mining in Koroužné. The entrances have now completely collapsed and are partly filled with waste. The site includes a shaft subsidence about ten metres in diameter, the remains of an inclined shaft and large spoil heaps.

Culture and buildings

The Chapel of the Most Holy Trinity in Švařec is an original 13th-century miners’ place of worship that has survived to the present day with only a few later structural alterations. It is a state-protected immovable cultural monument, considered a unique example of vernacular sacred architecture, and is closely connected with local mining.

The covered wooden bridge near Švařec is 22 metres long and two metres wide. It was repaired in 1982; its technical condition is currently considered good.

Nature and trails

The Švařec National Nature Monument protects a valuable complex of submontane meadows and pastures with scattered junipers on a steep south-facing slope in the Svratka Valley, on the right bank of the Brťovský potok near Švařec.

The Svratecká Water Management Educational Trail runs from Dalečín through the Svratka Valley to Švařec. After the section at the Vír II Reservoir, it passes through Koroužné and Švařec.
