Jihlava boasts one of the most modern sports and relaxation centres in the Czech Republic. It is called Český mlýn (Czech Mill) and besides a number of sports attractions you will also find the largest pumptrack in the Czech Republic. It is unique not only in its length, but also in its mirror design, so that pairs can race on two tracks.
The area of the Český mlýn is connected to the existing and newly built cycle paths, which link the regional town along the Jihlava River along cycle path 26 with Telč and further on with the Austrian Raabs an der Thaya. Small cyclists can test their skills on the reconstructed modern traffic playground in U Rybníčků Street, where the new cycle path leads, before a bigger trip.
In winter, you can put on your ski boots and enjoy skiing in the Šacberk Ski Resort, or run on one of the ski trails. There are 80 kilometres of groomed slopes in the surroundings of the town.
