FOOTHILLS OF THE IRON MOUNTAINS

Activities

All the activities that region is setting up have roots in local rich history, traditions and respect to local environment. Almost every municipality have in its history a mention about fortress. The best prevented medieval fortress is in Svojšice. The unification of the region was in first half of 16th century by Jiří Gerštorf from Gerštorf, who really cared about regional development. However, in second half of 16th century this clan rebuilt the market in Choltice to a chateau and found the chateau game reserve. The clan of Gerštorf lived in the region till 1623 when their properties were confiscated after the battle on “Bílá hora” - White Mountain. Original tombstones of this family can be seen on the walls of churches in Svinčany and Turkovice.
