Narysov lies on the western slope of Vojna Mountain. Its first written mention dates from 1379, when the village was called Narissyrow. The village’s history also reaches back to an old mining settlement. Narysov and its surroundings therefore bring together different perspectives: the development of the village, ore mining in the area, a protected building and a landscape of ponds with walking paths and opportunities for observing nature.

Village History and Mining

The first written mention and the origins in an old mining settlement represent different historical aspects. 1379 is the first written record, not the year the village was founded. Lead-silver ores and iron ores have been mined in the surrounding area since the Middle Ages. The written reference concerns Narysov itself; the mining took place in the wider area. This makes it possible to understand the village’s history and the history of its resources without assigning them the same date.

The Chapel on the Village Green

Narysov’s chapel was built in 1899 and is designated as a protected monument. It stands on the village green between two mature trees. Its year of construction, protected status and location provide a tangible point of reference for local heritage. Unlike the mining in the surrounding area, the chapel is a single, clearly located building. Its position on the village green makes this local connection especially vivid.

Walking Paths and the Landscape of Ponds

Accessible paths around the ponds near Narysov offer opportunities for walks. One of the best-known ponds in the area is Rybník Dolejší. Its surroundings are also suitable for observing waterbirds and other wildlife. This offers a choice between two different nature experiences: walking along the paths or observing wildlife around the pond. Specific sightings are not guaranteed.

Another Perspective on History

The Památník Vojna Lešetice is in the vicinity of Narysov, at the foot of Vojna Mountain and on the boundary of the cadastral areas of Lazsko, Lešetice and Zavržice. Its exhibitions cover persecution after February 1948, anti-communist resistance and the history of uranium mining. Compared with the medieval ore extraction in the area around Narysov, this presents a different historical context: uranium mining is considered alongside political persecution and resistance.
