History & geography

History

The first written mention of České Křižánky is from 1392. Moravské Křižánky was probably founded later and was first mentioned in 1437. In the mid-17th century, glassworks were founded in both parts of Křižánky and the villages began to develop, when glassmakers built their houses here. From the 1820s, Křižánky was known for the production of files.

Geography

Křižánky is located about northeast of Žďár nad Sázavou and northwest of Brno. The municipality lies on both banks of the Svratka River, which forms the border between the historical lands of Bohemia and Moravia. The stream Kyšperský potok, which flows into the Svratka in the municipality, supplies the relatively large fishpond Kyšperský rybník. Křižánky is located in the Upper Svratka Highlands and within the Žďárské vrchy Protected Landscape Area. The mountain Devět skal, which is with an elevation of the highest peak of the Upper Svratka Highlands and the second highest peak of the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands, is located in the municipal territory.
