Rohozná U Poličky lies on the border between Bohemia and Moravia, in the foothills of the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands. There are several themes to choose from when planning your stay: the Church of St Erasmus as a cultural monument, the natural features of the cadastral area, and a cycling route that passes through the village. The Údolí Křetínky Nature Park covers part of Rohozná’s cadastral area. If you are looking for a holiday rental, you can first decide whether culture, landscape or cycling will shape your stay.
Church of St Erasmus: a historical highlight
The Church of St Erasmus is the oldest historical monument in Rohozná and is listed as a cultural monument. It was built sometime in the first third of the 14th century. Its original Gothic presbytery has survived, along with remnants of 14th-century frescoes. The presbytery is the choir area of a church; frescoes are wall paintings executed on plaster. The same building therefore offers two distinct features: the Gothic form of the choir and traces of its earlier painted decoration. Anyone interested in architectural history has a specific point of reference for considering the building’s design and surviving paintings together.
Landscape and plant life
From Na Drahách Hill, at 647 m above sea level, there are panoramic views of the surrounding area. The forests around Rohozná are suitable for picking mushrooms and blueberries. This offers two different ways to enjoy nature: taking in the views and spending time outdoors on a specific activity. The protected plant vachta trojlistá, known in English as bogbean, grows in the cadastral area. Several orchid species, called vstavače in Czech, also grow there. These plants add botanical features to the landscape.
Cycling route through Rohozná
The “Radiměř – hrad Svojanov” route passes through Rohozná and is 10.5 km long in total. It follows paved second- and third-class roads. The stated distance refers to the entire route, not just the section through Rohozná. The distance and road surface are two practical criteria to consider when planning your route. The named endpoints, Radiměř and hrad Svojanov, show where Rohozná sits along the route. You can consider the cycling route as a separate highlight alongside the historical monument and natural features.
Getting there and event dates
The road from Svojanov towards Polička passes through Rohozná. For bus travel to Rohozná, you can use the bus company Zlatovánek spol. s r.o. Check the current timetable before setting off. The Children’s Day is one of the regular events in Rohozná. If you would like to plan your stay around it, check the date in advance. This allows you to include a bus journey or an event visit in your plans without making either the reason for your trip.
