Dolní Město: Hotels and Accommodation
Church history, distinctive granite rocks, and a cycling route connecting historic churches with natural landscapes give Dolní Město a clearly recognizable character.
Culture and History
St. Martin’s Church was originally dedicated to Saint John; its current patronage of Saint Martin is first documented in 1653. Partially preserved wall paintings probably date from the first half of the 14th century.
The original building of St. Margaret’s Church was constructed before the mid-14th century, while the square tower was not added until the second half of the 17th century. Medieval wall paintings in the church were discovered in 1941 and are dated to the last decade of the 14th century. St. Margaret’s Church in Loukov stands on the site of the former village of Loukov.
The Hlava XXII monument depicts Jaroslav Hašek and takes its name from the Czech title of Joseph Heller’s novel. The granite head, almost three metres high and weighing 18 tonnes, stands in a meadow at the crossroads of Lipnice nad Sázavou and Dolní Město.
Natural Environment
Čertův kámen is a geomorphologically distinctive tor-type granite rock with two rock basins on its summit platform. The isolated rock formation lies in the forest on the southern slope of Melechov peak at an altitude of 640 metres.
The proposed Čertův kámen natural monument is located in the Vysočina Region, in the Havlíčkův Brod District, in the municipality of Dolní Město and in the cadastral territory of Rejčkov.
