Pelhřimov is a small district capital (16 thousand people) with a nice town square and historical centre. With a fountain in the middle of the square and  historical buildings around it is a beautiful place to stop when travelling from the highway (exit 90 - Humpolec) towards České Budějovice.

This place became famous because of its festival of world records, however this event is very dull and does not attract many tourists. The town centre itself is beautiful, very compact and the surrounding country is a great place to take a bike or just ride around during sunny summer days.

Basicaly it is a two hour town, but worth stopping by.

! Beware the museum of world records as it is a tourist trap.
Better visit the church tower from where you can see the town. Then stop for a coffee in a cafe Atelier where the locals meet.

For good food around go to Motel Farma Poříčí (on the road from Humpolec to Pelhřimov - approx. 2kms before Pelhřimov)
