Jedlí – Trails, Nature and History

Jedlí combines marked trails, historical landmarks and protected nature into a diverse destination. If you would like to compare opportunities for combining activity, local history and landscapes during your stay, you will find several clearly distinct points of interest here. The specific routes and cultural monuments provide orientation without limiting the town to just one type of travel.

Cycling and Hiking Trails through Jedlí

Two documented connections are available for cycling trips. Cycle Route 6228 runs through Jedlí and connects Štíty with Zábřeh via Václavov, Svébohov and Růžové údolí. Cycle Route 6229 also runs through Jedlí and connects Cotkytle with Čečel via Horní Studénky. Its route characteristics include frequent ascents and descents as well as a varied landscape. The two cycling connections make different approaches to touring comparable.

The places along the two connections provide a clear spatial framework for route planning. On Route 6229, ascents and descents are explicitly part of the route characteristics, making the terrain profile a consideration in its own right alongside the varied landscape. The green hiking route also offers another way to connect Jedlí with the surrounding places. A marked green hiking route also runs through Jedlí. It leads from Zábřeh via Na Horách, Václavov and Křížové hory through Jedlí to Štíty. Public transport is also a concrete option for your planning: Jedlí has six bus stops whose 500-metre walking catchment covers a large part of the built-up area.

Church and Historical Landmarks

The Church of St. John the Baptist is a single-nave late Baroque church built in 1786, and it has five altars. It was first mentioned in 1411. In 1633, it was burned down by members of non-Catholic denominations. Comprehensive restoration took place in 2012, including drying the masonry and renewing the flooring, lighting and interior paintwork.

Other notable landmarks in Jedlí include a wayside shrine and the Holy Trinity Column. The inscription “J. E. P. 1860” appears on the back of the wayside shrine’s pedestal; in May 1958, the wayside shrine was registered as a protected cultural monument. The Holy Trinity Column is a sandstone sculptural group approximately 5 metres high and is associated with the year 1773. The village school also bears witness to the local history: it was built in 1832 with a donation from Prince Liechtenstein.
