The village has a train stop on the railway line from Jindřichův Hradec to Jihlava or Pelhřimov , which runs north of the village . In the south the 623 m high Tůmův vrch rises.

history
The village was first mentioned in 1349. The border between Moravia and Bohemia ran through Popelín , so that the place consisted of a Bohemian and a Moravian part. In the second half of the 14th century a fortress was established, the first owner of which is Zdeněk von Popelín in 1384. The owners of Popelín were subsequently various noble families and the lords of Neuhaus also held a share. At the end of the 15th century, a castle was built under the Vrchotický on the site of the fortress.
Because of taking part in the Bohemian uprising, Ferdinand II confiscated the goods of Sigmund Vrchotický von Vrchotice in 1620 and sold them to Seifried Christoph Breuner, Baron von Stübing. He was followed by the captain of the Slawata family , Jan Unčovský von Rosenport, who sold the property to the Jesuits in Jindřichův Hradec in 1638 . The Jesuits had a park created around the castle in which they also ran a medicinal herb garden . In 1650 they set up a pharmacy.
The Dobrá Voda bath was built for the friars at a sulfuric acid spring one kilometer east of Popelín. After his healing, one of the monks had a Marienkapelle built at the bath.
To the west of Poplin is the desert settlement of Kobylí in the Šejba district, which was abandoned by the Swedes in 1648 after being destroyed in the Thirty Years' War.
After the order was abolished, Popelín fell to the Moravian and Bohemian Study Fund in 1773. The properties of the bath were divided. After the cessation of the bathing business a linen bleaching developed.
Between 1787 and 1799, the settlement of Famelka, founded according to the Raab system , was built south of Popelín , in which manorial parcels were leased to families. In 1798 Jan Kalinov received the Popelín estate, first as a long lease and then as property.
