Villages of the Trosky Region Locations

Text

Troskowitz
The first mention is found in 1388 in connection with the nearby castle, but the village probably existed long before that. The village got its name from the rock on which the castle was later built, as the rock resembled the ruins of a castle from a distance.Tachov
A small village 1.5 km north of Troskowitz, first mentioned in sources in 1388. A nameless stream flows through it, emptying into the Krčák pond, forming cascades along the way and a waterfall about 10 metres high.
Today, the village is part of a protected area and the ‘Golden Trail of the Bohemian Paradise’ passes through it.
Zhelejov
There are only a few mentions of Zhelejov. Notably, in 1558, the three sons of Lord Semine sold the fortress and the village to the ‘Skalské panství’. The fortress was abandoned during the wars with the Swedes.
