Kuňovice offers several distinct points of interest for a stay: historical connections in the village, a named peak nearby and the “Vlašimské aleje” cycling route, which lists Kuňovice as a village along the way. A chapel and a memorial to the fallen of the First World War stand in the village square; Javornická hůra lies to the north.

Traces of the Village’s History

The chapel in the village square is a prominent landmark in Kuňovice. It was built in 1908. Its history also includes a repair. The memorial in the same square commemorates the fallen of the First World War. These two landmarks represent different historical themes: the chapel relates to the village’s architectural history, while the memorial serves as a place of remembrance for the fallen.

The first written mention of Kuňovice dates back to 1412. Another historical trace leads to the former fortress: it stood on the site where the houses numbered 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 26 now stand. Thus, the village’s history links a written reference point with a precisely located former structure. The fortress itself belongs to the past; the house numbers listed refer to the present-day buildings on its site.

Surroundings and Cycling Route

Javornická hůra lies two kilometres north of Kuňovice and reaches 583 metres above sea level. It is the highest peak in the surrounding area. The details answer different questions for orientation: direction and distance locate the mountain relative to the village, while the elevation indicates its height above sea level. If you would like to explore beyond the village’s history, this provides a clear geographical point of reference.

Kuňovice is listed as a village along the 31-kilometre “Vlašimské aleje” cycling route. The route is suitable for trekking and mountain bikes; it runs mostly along field and forest tracks and partly on roads. Two types of information complement each other when planning: the route length indicates its extent, while the description of the surface points to the varying types of paths. Bear both in mind if you choose the route as the focus of your stay, and check the current route and conditions before setting off.

Getting Your Bearings and Finding Accommodation

Road No. 112 runs through Kuňovice and connects Vlašim with Čechtice. This provides a regional point of reference for planning your journey, along the connection between the two towns. When choosing a holiday apartment, you can start by deciding what you would like to focus on: local history, with its chapel, memorial and traces of the fortress, or cycling on the Vlašimské aleje route. Find holiday apartments in Kuňovice and tailor your search to your planned stay. The road and the cycling route answer different practical questions: the road helps place the village geographically, while the route indicates the focus for activities.
