THE HILLY LANDSCAPE FROM JIMRAMOV AROUND THE SVRATKA RIVER

Our bike ride starts in Jimramov. This unassuming town near Nové Město na Moravě can boast a whole pleiad of famous townsfolk. For example, there were the Mrštík brothers, Jan Karafiát, Karel Slavíček, M. J. Sychra, František Žemlička, Čeněk Dobiáš or Bohuslav Kozák. You can get acquainted not only with them, but also with the history of the town at the permanent exhibition located in the Upper School building near the statue of St. John of Nepomuk. Before you hit the pedals and head out on the trail, be sure to come take a look.
