Kožlí

Kožlí lies south of Ledeč nad Sázavou and combines a concise local history with unusual nature and fishing experiences. The Pstruhový ráj Kožlí is particularly distinctive: trout fishing is offered here both to anglers and non-anglers. If you are looking for a mix of culture, nature observation and a special activity for your trip, Kožlí offers several clearly distinct points of interest.

Trout fishing at Pstruhový ráj Kožlí

At Pstruhový ráj Kožlí, you can fish for trout year-round and without a fishing licence. The pond has a fishing pier. The fishing pond is located on the main road from Ledeč nad Sázavou towards Humpolec and the Koberovice exit of the D1 motorway (EXIT 81).

Local history and monuments

The history of Kožlí is also evident from specific surviving evidence. The first written mention of the village dates from 1370; at that time, a Vladyka from Kozel is mentioned.

Two monuments in Kožlí commemorate the victims of both world wars. A monument in the village square contains an urn with the ashes of resistance fighters from Kobylí důl. These places give a stay a historical dimension that relates directly to the village itself and not merely to a larger surrounding region.

Čertovy díry and a rare tree species

One of the prominent natural destinations is the Čertovy díry natural attraction. The Čertovy díry caves lie about 1 km southwest of Kožlí, on the right bank of the Švihov Reservoir in the Doupné skály area. The approximate distance remains important here: Čertovy díry are a separate destination southwest of the village and should not be equated with a location in the village centre.

A rare three-thorned gleditsia also grows near Kožlí on a slope above the road. This individual botanical detail adds a distinctive feature to the landscape, clearly different from the caves and the fishing pond. The surroundings therefore bring together different landscape impressions: caves by the water, a fishing pond beside the road and a single rare tree on the slope.

Traditions and events

The events calendar includes several traditional occasions. These include the Letní koželské slavnosti, a pilgrimage and a Posvícenská celebration. Events held for children include dětský den, dětský karneval, mikulášská nadílka and rybářské závody. The occasions range from village festivals and a pilgrimage to events for children, including rybářské závody.

For orientation on site, the destinations are clearly distinct: the church and monuments are in Kožlí, Čertovy díry are about 1 km southwest at the Švihov Reservoir, the fishing pond is on the road towards Humpolec, and the gleditsia is on a slope above the road.
