Řeřichy offers several clear starting points for a trip: the historic Rundling reflects the origins of the settlement’s centre, while the stream, pond and forests provide different connections to the landscape. The village lies on the edge of Jesenicko Nature Park; the Berounka-Střela Greenway is also connected with Řeřichy. This gives you two distinct themes to consider when planning your trip: local history and nature.

Landscape between stream and forest

Jesenicko Nature Park provides the wider landscape setting, on the edge of which Řeřichy lies. The Řeřišský stream forms the village’s landscape axis. A pond lies along this stream. These two features complement each other but describe different points of reference: the stream is the axis, while the pond is a single waterside feature. To the north, Pšovlcký Forest extends into the Řeřichy area, and Šanovský Forest lies on the eastern edge. The directional details help distinguish these forest areas. North of Řeřichy, the spruce tree Popelčin smrk stands in the municipal forest. The landscape can thus be viewed through its forests, a single named tree, the stream and the pond. If you are orienting yourself before your trip, you can consider these different features and the edge of the nature park as separate points of reference.

Rundling and local history

The historic Rundling forms the settlement core of Řeřichy. It developed around the spring area of the Řeřišský stream. The Řeřišský stream forms the landscape axis and is also connected with the origins of the historic Rundling. The term Rundling refers to the circular shape of the settlement; here, the focus is on the village layout as a whole, rather than on a single building. If you are interested in the character of a place, you can consider this settlement form together with its location near the spring area. This makes the village layout a subject in its own right, alongside individual historic buildings.

Historic landmarks

The former German school in Řeřichy was built in 1885. The German School Association was its institutional funder and was associated with Vienna. A restored, well-preserved chapel with a bell tower stands in the village square of Řeřichy. Check local access to the chapel before your visit. A wooden bell tower stands in the centre of Nový Dvůr.

Greenway and trip planning

The Berounka-Střela Greenway is connected with Řeřichy and offers a different approach to planning than the village centre and its building history. If you would like to include the Greenway in your trip, check the route of the section you choose and fit it into your daily itinerary. The distinction is clear: the Greenway is a route, while the Rundling, school and chapel relate to the village layout and building history. You can give these themes different priorities rather than treating them as a set itinerary.
