Běluň can be understood through the course of the Běluňka and several marked routes. The stream gives the village its present-day name; a blue hiking route passes through Běluň, and marked cycling loop No. 1 runs from Jaroměř through the village. These topics offer different ways to shape a stay: river scenery, a hike, or a cycling route. The route information uses different measures, so distinguishing between them helps avoid confusing the total length of a hiking route with Běluň’s distance from a starting point.

The Běluňka and the Valley

The Běluňka flows past Běluň; the village gives it its present-day name. Below Polcovský dvůr, the stream forms several bends and flows into the Elbe below Heřmanice. For anyone interested in river landscapes, this provides a clear geographical connection: from the village, along the stream’s bends, to its mouth. The Běluňka thus offers a tangible point of reference for understanding Běluň and the watercourse’s further course together.

The valley also has a historical dimension in how it has been perceived. Around the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, many regional writers described the valley along the Běluňka near Běluň as especially romantic. This recorded view belongs to that period and adds a historical perspective to the geographical description. In this way, the present-day names of the village and watercourse sit alongside an earlier perception of the valley, without presenting its historical characterization as a timeless judgment.

Hiking between Jaroměř and Hořičky

The blue-marked hiking route runs from Jaroměř through Běluň, Krabčice, and Chvalkovice to Hořičky. It is 14 kilometres long in total. Běluň is therefore one stop on a route that begins in Jaroměř and ends in Hořičky; Krabčice and Chvalkovice are also along the way. For planning, both the total length and Běluň’s role as an intermediate stop matter: the 14 kilometres refer to the entire route, not just the section in the village. Before setting out, it is advisable to check the current trail conditions and markings.

Cycling Route Linked to Jaroměř

Marked cycling loop No. 1 runs from the Jaroměř cemetery complex through Běluň. The village is 2.5 kilometres from the cemetery along this route. A likewise marked cycling loop No. 1 has the Tomašov Partisan Monument as its destination; it starts at Jaroměř cemetery. The cemetery thus serves as a shared point of reference for the two route descriptions. The 2.5-kilometre distance describes the distance between the cemetery and Běluň. When planning, it is helpful to distinguish whether Běluň as a place along the route or the monument as a destination is your focus. Before cycling, check the current route signs and trail conditions.

Hiking Event with Its Own Dates

The Pochod okolo Jaroměře is a recurring hiking event. The 40th edition took place on 21 April 2018, and the 46th on 25 April 2026. Both dates were in April. If the Pochod is important to your travel plans, check the current event dates before planning your stay around it.
