Černošín brings together a central Baroque church, Volfštejn Castle and protected countryside along the Kosí potok. This brings architectural history, routes to the castle and nature-related themes together, without needing to combine them into a single outing. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, you can first choose your focus: historic places, a route around Volfštejn or views of the valley and nature. When planning, it is also worth distinguishing distances from lengths and taking the conditions of the routes described into account.

Church and castle: two historical timelines

St. George’s Church in the centre of Černošín was first mentioned in 1374. The present Baroque building was constructed between 1711 and 1736. These dates refer to different historical facts: 1374 is when the church was mentioned, while the later period is when the present building was constructed. Volfštejn dates back to the second half of the 13th century as a castle foundation; the castle was founded on a spur of Vlčí hora near Černošín. The church and castle therefore date from markedly different historical periods.

Routes around Volfštejn

The access route to the castle leads from Černošín below the eastern rampart, goes around Volfštejn to the south and continues to the former manor farm. From there, you can climb to the summit of Vlčí hora. For planning purposes, these can be treated as two separate sections: the approach to the castle and the possible continuation to the summit. As route conditions can change, check the latest information before setting out.

Another hiking option is the yellow hiking trail No. 6603, which passes Vlčí hora, the ruins of Volfštejn Castle and Černošín. Trail numbers and conditions can change; check the latest route information before your hike.

A different kind of measurement applies to the memorial to the victims of the First World War: it is about two kilometres from the town centre and can be reached via an unpaved forest track. This is an approximate distance, not a measure of time. As access conditions may change with forestry activity, check the latest information before setting out.

Valley and protected nature

The Kosí potok Nature Park extends partly across the municipal area of Černošín. It protects the biological and landscape values of the stream’s gorge-like valley. The Kosí potok educational trail is eight kilometres long and offers insights into the valley’s nature and history. Conditions along the route can change, so take this into account when planning.

Černošínský bor is another natural feature with a clearly defined location: this protected relict pine forest lies along the route from the football field in Černošín to Volfštejn Castle. Please observe the local access rules.

When planning your trip, it is worth distinguishing between the figures: eight kilometres refers to the length of the educational trail, while the approximately two kilometres given for the memorial is its distance from the town centre. The route to the memorial is also described as unpaved. These figures therefore serve as different points of reference rather than comparable route lengths.
