Červenka can be explored through three distinct interests: cycling, a protected orchid habitat and historic religious buildings. For your planning, it is worth considering the route information, the U Přejezdu Natural Monument and the architectural history separately. This way, you can shape your stay around the subject that genuinely interests you.

Cycling: two directions

Cycle Route 6026 runs from Nový Dvůr to Červenka. Cycle Route 511 continues from Červenka to Litovel; the section between the two towns is a shared walking and cycling path. This gives you two different directions to consider when planning your trip: one route leads to Červenka, while the other continues from there to Litovel. If you plan to use either route, check the current conditions before setting off, as route conditions can change. For planning purposes, it helps to decide whether you would rather focus on the approach from the direction of Nový Dvůr or the onward journey from Červenka to Litovel.

Orchids and habitat

The U Přejezdu Natural Monument protects naturally occurring orchid populations and their habitat in a semi-natural mixed deciduous woodland community. Both the plant populations and their habitat are therefore central to the site. For travellers interested in nature and conservation, its particular appeal lies in this connection between orchids, habitat and woodland type. When weighing up your interests for a stay, you can distinguish between a specific focus on routes and a focus on conservation.

Architectural history and seasonal tradition

Chapel and church

The Neoclassical Chapel of St. Paulina was built by 1798 and is a protected monument. The Church of St. Alphonsus was solemnly consecrated on 20 August 1862. The dates refer to different events: one marks the completion of construction, while the other gives the exact day of the consecration. The chapel combines Neoclassical architecture with protected-monument status; the church’s precise consecration date provides a point of reference in time.

Christmas nativity scene

Since the 1970s, a nativity scene has been displayed every Christmas in the Church of St. Alphonsus, and fresh moss from the forest is used each year to decorate it. Alongside its 1862 consecration, this gives the church a recurring seasonal connection. The exact design of the nativity scene can vary. If this Christmas feature is a deciding factor for your trip, check in advance what visiting options are available during the Christmas season.

The château

The original château served Archduke Maximilian Habsburg as a waiting building for the train. The Redemptorists later adapted it for their own purposes. As a historical reference point, it differs from the chapel and church: here, the focus is on its former function and later adaptation.
