The old pilgrim path runs through Nové Město, passing two late Baroque chapels and offering views of Klínovec and Neklid. The Novako Jáchymov ski resort adds a clearly distinct focus. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Nové Město, these interests can help shape your choice of destination: hiking and architectural history on the one hand, skiing on the other.

The old pilgrim path through Nové Město

The old pilgrim path runs from Jáchymov via Nové Město to Mariánská. On the stretch through the village, it passes the Chapel of Panny Marie Altöttingské and the Chapel of Panny Marie Bolestné. Between the village’s houses and trees, the path offers views of Klínovec and Neklid. This places both chapels and the named viewpoints along the same route. If you would like to see them together, you can appreciate the buildings as part of the route and view the pilgrim path as more than just a link between places.

Jáchymov is the starting point and Mariánská the destination, with Nové Město lying between them along the route. This lets you distinguish the section through the village from the entire pilgrim path: the route runs from Jáchymov to Mariánská, while the chapels and views define the stretch through Nové Město.

Jáchymovské peklo Educational Trail

The Jáchymovské peklo Educational Trail is 8.5 km long and has 12 information stations. It passes a system of ponds built for mining. Along the trail, information stations and a landscape shaped by mining come together. Its focus differs from that of the pilgrim path: there, it is the chapels and views; here, the stations and ponds built for mining.

Two late Baroque chapels in different locations

Both chapels are late Baroque and were built in the second half of the 18th century. The Chapel of Panny Marie Bolestné stands by House No. 4 on the road to Mariánská, in the center of Nové Město. The Chapel of Panny Marie Altöttingské is on a small rise above the road at the lower eastern edge of the village. The buildings share their late Baroque classification and construction period; their locations differ, with one in the village center and the other at its lower eastern edge.

The grounds around the Chapel of Panny Marie Altöttingské are accessible. The grounds around the Chapel of Panny Marie Bolestné are also accessible; conditions on site apply. Check these conditions before your visit.

Novako Jáchymov ski resort

The Novako Jáchymov ski resort in Nové Město has a total of 4 km of runs for all ability levels. The runs offer a distinct focus alongside the pilgrim path: instead of centering your visit on chapels and views on foot, you can choose the ski resort as a reason for your trip. This means different activities can take center stage when comparing what the village offers, without having to combine them into a fixed itinerary.
