Discover Jedlová

Jedlová combines a distinctive mineral spring with mining history and a landscape shaped by waterways, wet meadows, and wooded slopes. If you would like to combine culture and nature, the surrounding area offers several different points of interest: from Kyselka Jedlová and the history of the former mining village to the U Jedlové area.

The Kyselka Jedlová Mineral Spring

The Kyselka v Jedlové mineral spring rises in the cadastral area of Jedlová on the left bank of the Kosí potok. It has a carbon dioxide content of more than 3,000 mg/l, giving it a pleasant and refreshing taste. The spring has been freely accessible since the period after the Second World War.

Two precise distance details help with orientation on site. The spring is located about 500 metres south of Stará Voda, along the road near the Kosí potok. The signposted turn-off to Kyselka Jedlová is about 150 metres from the spring. The spring area is therefore situated by the road near the stream and can be reached via a separately signposted turn-off.

Nature along the Kosový potok

The U Jedlové area reveals another side of Jedlová. The scarce fritillary (Euphydryas aurinia) occurs here in several small colonies. The area also includes the very well-preserved upper course of the important Kosový potok, its floodplain with predominantly wet and peat meadows, and adjoining stands mainly characterised by alder trees. As a result, the landscape is shaped not only by forest, but also by open, water-rich habitats. The floodplain, meadows, and alder stands connect open and wooded sections along the watercourse.

Several mountains are located around Jedlová: Lysina, Ovčák, Pfaffenbühl, and Streicher Rang. Those who choose the region for its natural features will therefore find in Jedlová both the spring along the Kosí potok and the ecologically diverse U Jedlové area. The landscape extends from the spring area and stream to wet and peat meadows, alder stands, and the surrounding mountains.

Mining History and Regional Culture

Jedlová originated as a mining village because ore was mined in the surrounding area. In the past, the place was known as Tannaweg. Its mining history gives Jedlová a historical dimension that extends beyond the mineral spring.

There is also a specific reference point for arriving by bicycle: local cycle route no. 2135 reaches Jedlová at kilometre 28.3. For cultural additions, the Center of Europe monument is located in the vicinity of Jedlová. The wider regional area also includes Novy Dvur Monastery and Kappl Church.

The Šturmův umělecký válcový mlýn is also known as Streckermühle. Its location is assigned to Stará Voda–Jedlová.
