Skuhrov: St. Nicholas Church and Hiking Trails

The first written mention of Skuhrov dates back to 1352. In 1352, Skuhrov was already a flourishing settlement with a church and its own parish.

St. Nicholas Church was originally built as a Gothic church in the first half of the 14th century; the church tower was added in the Empire style in 1811. A bricked-up Gothic portal has been preserved in the southern wall of the nave. The church has been protected as a cultural monument since 1963.

In the center of Skuhrov, St. Nicholas Church stands on a small hill and is surrounded by a cemetery. The cemetery around the church includes a rectangular Baroque mortuary chapel dating from 1707 to 1712. The church also contains a statue of the Suffering Christ dating from the mid-18th century, as well as a stone baptismal font from around 1700. Skuhrov's Baroque rectory was built in 1728 by V. Smekly.

On the road to Havlíčkův Brod stands the rectangular Chapel of St. Florian, built in 1783. Its façade is structured by pilasters supporting a cornice and a semicircular pediment. In front of the gate of house no. 64 in Skuhrov stands a granite cross with beveled edges. According to local tradition, it is one of the crosses that once lined the Haberská trade route.

Masses are held at St. Nicholas Church twice a week, as well as additionally on public holidays.

A yellow-marked hiking trail from Lipnice nad Sázavou to Lysá passes through Skuhrov. On August 24, 2016, a 10 km hike led from Skuhrov along the yellow-marked trail toward Komárov and Malčín, then via Dobrá Voda to Pohled. A specific route length therefore uses a different planning scale from the described course of the hiking trail.

More destinations for planning your trip include Chotěboř, Bartoušov, Tis, Štoky, Horní Paseka, Ždírec Nad Doubravou, Kyjov and Kojetín.

When comparing hotels in Skuhrov, you can check travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions side by side on the offer pages. These three details provide a clear framework when several options for the same travel period are compared and the conditions remain comparable. The travel dates define the time frame; the room category makes different offers comparable, while the cancellation conditions show the financial flexibility available in the event of changes. This allows the three details to be checked separately, without drawing conclusions about the entire stay from a single condition.
