Along the Trail of Novohradsko's Borderland Ponds to Jedlice
Discover the beauty of Novohradsko from the saddle of an e-bike. No hill is an obstacle—it's up to you how long a route you choose, or whether you take one of the recommended trails around Novohradsko.
The entire route runs through an area that was completely inaccessible in the recent past. In the first part, you’ll explore the borderland ponds of Novohradsko, which represent pristine nature just a stone’s throw from the town of Nové Hrady. The history of Zevlův Pond and Zevlův Mill goes back more than six centuries. From this pond, you connect to a former military patrol road (signálka) and ride into the area where the village of Jedlice existed until the 1950s.
