Boršov Forest borders the eastern edge of Dolní Roveň; Lodrant Pond lies at the southern edge of the forest. A marked path crosses the pond dam and offers views of the water. Churches in Horní Roveň and Komárov, as well as a listed school building, provide further historical points of interest. Different themes are brought together here: the landscape around the pond and the architectural history of the places mentioned.
Churches and Architectural History
The parish church of St Catherine in Horní Roveň is first mentioned in 1349. This is the first mention of the church, not the construction date of the present building: it was built between 1697 and 1699 on the site of an earlier wooden church. The two dates therefore mark different historical layers—the early reference and the construction of the present church. St Peter and Paul in Komárov acquired its present form in 1877. Here, too, the year describes a specific phase in the building's history: the form the church took at that time.
Another landmark is the school in Dolní Roveň, at house numbers 200, 201 and 205. It is listed as a cultural monument; the National Heritage Institute's register entry is dated 4 April 2025. Together, the churches and school offer different ways to explore the buildings: an early mention, a later construction period, a change in form and a monument listing.
Boršov Forest and Lodrant Pond
Boršov Forest borders the eastern edge of the village; Lodrant Pond lies at the southern edge of the forest. The pond is considered a valuable site for its landscape and natural features. Its landscape includes old oak stands on the dam and natural stands in the surrounding area, made up predominantly of deciduous trees.
The marked path crosses the dam and offers views of the pond.
Comparing the Route and Activity

The marked path across the pond dam is characterised above all by views of the water. MathCityMap, by contrast, focuses on the tasks and the stated distance and duration.
If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Dolní Roveň, these themes can help you decide what to focus on during your stay: would you like to explore the pond landscape and the path across the dam, or are you more interested in churches and architectural history?
