A protected juniper reserve, a chapel and historical forms of the place name give Nemíž specific themes for a stay. The connection with nature is clearly defined: the “Na ostrově” site is located in the cadastral area of Nemiž. The village’s history dates back to its first written mention in 1471; there is also a hike dated to a specific event. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, you can weigh these themes according to whether nature, history or practical visiting conditions matter most for your trip.
A protected juniper reserve
The protected “Na ostrově” site was established in the cadastral area of Nemiž on 29 December 1972. Its purpose is to protect an important locality of common juniper (Juniperus communis). The area covers 4.21 hectares. The reason for protection, botanical name and area define Nemíž’s connection with nature very specifically: the focus is on a particular juniper locality, not on a generally described nature offering. Those interested in nature conservation will find a clear point of reference for planning their trip. The designation “site” and the stated area also help distinguish the nature of the protected area from the village’s other themes.
Local history and historical names
The first written mention of Nemíž dates from 1471. A different historical context is recorded for the 19th century: at that time, Nemíž was a settlement belonging to the municipality of Ctiboř. In the censuses of 1869 and 1880, the place was called Němče, and in 1890 it was called Němiž. The dates place the information in different periods: 1471 marks the first written mention, while the census names and the connection with Ctiboř describe its status in the 19th century. This makes it possible to explore the village’s history through specific dates without collapsing the different names into one timeless form.
Chapel and visiting conditions
The Chapel of St. John of Nepomuk is located in Nemíž. Regular services are not held there; service schedules may change. The chapel is also not accessible to people with disabilities, and physical access conditions may change as well. If you are planning a visit, therefore, check the latest information about services and access. For trip planning, these are two separate questions: whether regular services are held and whether access suits your needs.
Hiking and getting there
The “Putování okolo Tehova” hiking event took place on Saturday, 19 October 2024, and lasted approximately five hours. During this hike, participants visited a protected juniper reserve. The local “Spolkovně” in Nemíž served as the first refreshment stop at the event. The duration applies to that specific date and gives a concrete indication of the length of that hiking event; it is not stated as the walking time for a visit to the village on any other occasion.
The road connection in the municipality of Tehov is also specified for getting there: Road II/125 runs through the municipality via Kolín, Psáře, the D1, Tehov, Vlašim and Mladá Vožice. The D1 motorway is 2.5 kilometres away and can be reached via exit 49 (Psáře). These details provide an overview at the municipal level without specifying a driving time to any particular accommodation or visitor destination. Alongside the juniper reserve and local history, information about the chapel and road connections is also available to help you choose where to stay.
