Němčice is shaped by its post-war history, a village square of urban-planning value, and characteristic meadow and woodland habitats. This gives you concrete points of difference to consider when planning your trip: the history of resettlement, the location and type of natural areas, and the possibility of attending a cultural event in nearby Domažlice.

Local History and the Village Square

After the expulsion of the German population in 1945, Němčice was completely resettled. 55 settlers from Chod villages came to the village. The number makes the turning point tangible: resettlement brought a fundamental change in the population structure.

The village’s history also has a longer historical context. Throughout its history, Němčice was part of the Horšovský Týn domain. This long-standing affiliation and the resettlement of 1945 represent different time frames: a long-term historical context and a clearly dated turning point in the history of the population.

The village square, Náves v Němčicích, is also part of the village’s character. In the Meclov land-use plan, in the complete version following Amendment No. 2, dated 05/2023, it is considered a space of urban-planning value. The date of the plan provides a specific time reference for this designation.

Meadows, Woodland, and Ridges

The meadows differ in their location and type. Pod Borkem is a semi-natural wet meadow, extensively mown, in a shallow valley bottom at the forest edge. U Němčic is a semi-natural mesic meadow on a gentle slope at the edge of the village; it is also extensively mown. The comparison is between a wet meadow in the valley bottom and a mesic meadow on a slope, each in a different position relative to the village and the forest.

Borek adds a stand of pines around a low ridge to this landscape. Common juniper and alpine wintergreen grow there. The natural landscape of Němčice therefore cannot be reduced to a single meadow type: in addition to the open areas, it includes a wooded ridge and the two plant species mentioned.

The local water reservoir also has a dated reference point: it was extensively restored in 2018. Together with the different meadows and the pine stand, it forms a landscape that includes both open and wooded areas.

Walking and Cycling

A map in the 2025 landscape study shows a footpath and a cycle route or cycle path in the landscape around Němčice u Třebnic. If you would like to plan a specific walk or bike ride based on this information, check an up-to-date map beforehand to confirm the exact route.

Archaeology and Culture Nearby

The registered archaeological site “Němčice – mohylník V od obce” is part of the area’s historical profile. It lies in the cadastral areas of Němčice u Třebnic and Jeníkovice u H. Týna. Both areas are equally relevant to the site’s geographical location.

Nearby Domažlice offers an additional cultural connection. The Chodské Museum there also includes Chodský hrad. In addition, the Chodské slavnosti has been held every year in August in Domažlice for more than half a century. If you would like to include this festival in your travel plans, check the specific event dates in advance.

When choosing the focus of your trip, you can weigh up the local history, the different landscape types, and the cultural offerings in nearby Domažlice. The recurring August date of the Chodské slavnosti is a seasonal option; the historical and landscape themes offer other distinct points of interest for a stay.
