If you are considering a stay in Šenov U Nového Jičína, you can base your choice on specific routes and historic sites: two cycling routes pass through or across the town, alongside an educational trail, cultural monuments and individual spots in the landscape. The options range from cycling and local history to a destination at a spring.

Cycling: a loop or a connecting route

The 96-kilometre Okruh Kravařsko cycling loop passes through Šenov u Nového Jičína. The moderately difficult, 14-kilometre cycle route No. 6175, “Palackého stezka,” runs from Hostašovice through Šenov u Nového Jičína to Kunín. The routes therefore differ in their layout, length and stated difficulty: one is a long loop, while the other is a shorter route with a named course and a moderate rating. When choosing between them, first consider whether you would prefer a loop or to include the route between Hostašovice, Šenov and Kunín in your stay. Check the current route before setting out.

Church, monument and community festival

The Church of St Martin is the oldest monument in Šenov u Nového Jičína and dates from the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries. It is occasionally open during services on Thursdays and Sundays. If you plan a visit to the church, check access in advance.

The monument to the victims of the First and Second World Wars was created by Franz Barwig, an honorary citizen of Šenov u Nového Jičína. The chapel is another historic landmark: it was reconstructed in 1989 and solemnly dedicated to the Virgin Mary in May 1991.

To place the history in context, you can consider three different reference points side by side: the church from the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries, the monument to the victims of both world wars, and the chapel, reconstructed in 1989 and dedicated in 1991. This spans the period from the Middle Ages to events of the late 20th century.

The annual calendar includes the Šenovský škrpál community festival, held every August. If you would like to combine your trip with the festival, check the specific event date in advance.

Educational trail and landscape

The “Po stopách generála Laudona” educational trail in Šenov u Nového Jičína leads to Bannerova studánka. The spring rises near Hotel Salaš; a forest near the spring offers views of the surrounding landscape. The trail therefore connects a specifically named destination with a nearby viewpoint in the forest.

You can follow the educational trail, or part of it, using the regular bus service between Nový Jičín and Kunín. If you would like to take the bus, check the timetable in advance.

To get a sense of the surrounding landscape, you can look at the northwestern part of the municipality: the Poodří Protected Landscape Area and the Important Bird Area of the same name extend into its northwestern tip. Bannerova studánka is a specific destination on the educational trail; the protected areas, by contrast, are situated in relation to this part of the municipality.
