Neznašov lies above the confluence of the Vltava and Lužnice rivers. The “Za neznašovským kohoutem” nature trail takes in this river landscape from a rocky viewpoint. Every year, fishing competitions are held at the local pond in Všemyslice. There are also cultural, historical and technical attractions to appeal to a range of interests.
Circular trail near Neznašov
The approximately 5.5-kilometre “Za neznašovským kohoutem” nature trail forms a circular route around Neznašov and starts in the village square. Twelve information boards cover cultural, natural and technical attractions. A rocky viewpoint looks out over the confluence of the Lužnice and Vltava rivers. The circular route and approximate length give the trail a clear framework, while the boards add a range of topics along the way. If you are looking for a circular walk that combines scenery with cultural and technical themes, this trail is a concrete option.
Kořensko waterworks
The Kořensko waterworks are on the Vltava near Neznašov, about five kilometres west of Týn nad Vltavou. The complex includes a run-of-river power station with two horizontal Kaplan turbine units and an installed capacity of 2 × 1.9 MW, as well as a lock chamber. The details about the turbine type and capacity give a tangible sense of the power station’s technical scale; the lock chamber is another clearly identified part of the complex. At Kořensko, then, the focus is not only on the river landscape but also on the use of water through a specific structure.
Jewish heritage and chapel
The Jewish cemetery in Neznašov is located in the cadastral area of Všemyslice, near the Kukle forest. The cemetery contains about 250 gravestones. Most date from the 19th century, predominantly its second half. This historical context gives the site a clear focus. Another cultural and historical stop is the Chapel of St Anne, located at the mouth of the Bohunický potok at the confluence of the Vltava and Lužnice rivers. Both sites connect history with distinctive points in the landscape, without requiring them to be part of a shared route.
Vysoký Kamýk lookout tower
The Vysoký Kamýk lookout tower stands on the 627-metre-high peak of the same name. The tower is 33 metres high; the entire structure reaches 46 metres. The access route starts at the forest edge near Všeteč and follows a green-marked hiking trail to the tower. The observation platform opened to the public on 1 May 2012.
Fishing competitions at the pond
Fishing competitions are held every year at the local pond in Všemyslice. If you want to plan your stay around a competition, check the relevant date before travelling. This annual event offers a different focus from the circular trail, viewpoints and structures: it is a recurring occasion to take into account when planning your trip.
