Borová u Poličky zastávka - Borová u Poličky zastávka

Borová u Poličky stop is the name of the railway station situated at the railway km 26,800 on line no. 261 Svitavy - Žďárec u Skutče in the cadastral area of ​​Borová u Poličky, Borová municipality. On the same line, in the village, there is also a railway station called Borová u Poličky in the railway km 28,435 (see also the place on the map, rec. + Photo). No stop was established on the original railway line, except at the request of the municipality in recent years for transport services in the lower (southern) part of the municipality, especially in the direction of Polička, where there are more transport connections by passenger trains than in the opposite direction to Žďárka u Skutče. The railway station has a stylish shelter for passengers (see photo). The first train on the railway line passed through the village of Borová on August 18, 1897. Use for tourism: Borová u Poličky stop is suitable for access to the Borovská sightseeing trail, which has several locations at historical or other interesting places, the information board can be found at the Municipal Office building (see map). The railway station is located in the natural area of ​​Žďárské vrchy, practically on the border of their two geomorphological districts, Borovský les, which gave its name to the extensive forest of the same name in the cadastre and Pohledeckoskalské vrchoviny for hiking). The border of the mentioned natural areas is formed by the Černý potok flowing through the village. The source of the watercourse is located in the Borovský les forest, the spring source is situated north-northwest of the Žižkov peak (752 m), easily accessible from the Bukovina settlement (part of the Borová village). I recommend the stop for access to the area of ​​Žďárské vrchy, especially the mentioned Pohledeckoskalská vrchovina. From the stop, you can continue to the Borovská sightseeing trail in the direction of the Dědek settlement and to Lucký vrch (739 m). However, the Borová u Poličky railway station is more suitable for access to the Borovské Forest area (both the woods and the geomorphological district). North of the railway station, in the georelief of the Borovský les nature area, I recommend visiting the natural locality of Štamberk with the eponymous peak 670 m above sea level and the former quarry. On the northern edge of the forest there is a view towards St. Catherine (residential locality, part of the village), above it, for example, Skalka hill (699 m). Southwest of the stop, I recommend a tour of the evangelical (so-called tolerance) church from 1783 and on the route of the Borovská sightseeing trail (direction Dědek) then other historical monuments, the Catholic church of St. Margaret (founded at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries by the oldest monastic order of Western Christianity, the Order of the Benedictines), with an interesting wooden tower (information boards at churches, see also map). The village grew upstream of the Černý potok, which flows near the stop, with an interesting rock ascent. There is also another Catholic church in the village. Kateřiny on the edge of the upper part of the development by the road I / 34 from Borová in the direction of Kroun (the church is closer to the railway station). Stop convenient for climbing Lucký vrch (739 m) above the village of Telecí, to return to railway line 261 to the train station Oldřiš (see place on the map) you can use, for example, the green marked tourist route of the Czech Tourists Club with a view of the landscape of Žďárské vrchy).
