In Moyne, routes through three historic settlements intersect with a rich rural architectural and local history. Cycle route 1197 passes through Černice, Mojné and Záhorkovice; two marked hiking trails have their own routes and destinations. When planning your stay, you can first decide whether cycling, hiking or historic sites should be the focus. The waypoints listed here provide a concrete basis for considering these activities separately.

Cycling and hiking on separate routes

Cycle route 1197 passes through Černice, Mojné and Záhorkovice. It can be accessed above Rájov at the Zlatá Koruna–Harazim bus stop. Check the access point and public transport information before setting off. Trail signs and route details may also change, so check the current markings before you leave.

The two hiking trails can be distinguished by their markings and place names. The red-marked trail runs from Harazim to Černice and continues via Jílkův mlýn to Mirkovice. The yellow-marked hiking trail starts in Černice, leads to Kulichův kříž and continues to Chabičovice. If you choose a hike, you can use these different destinations as a guide. For both trails, check the current signs and route details before setting off.

Rural character and regional setting

The municipality of Mojné includes the three historic settlements of Černice, Mojné and Záhorkovice. Mojné has the character of a rural farming village, with several large agricultural farmsteads, smaller farms and simple cottages. Its original character has been partly altered by renovations and new construction since around the middle of the 20th century. Both are part of the village’s present-day character: its rural roots and the changes that have taken place over several decades.

The Blanský les Protected Landscape Area is near Mojné.

Buildings and history in the settlements

The Chapel of Saint Sebastian in Mojné was probably built before the middle of the 18th century. It is an example of high-quality small-scale architecture, and its niche contains a wood carving of Saint Sebastian. In the centre of Mojné there is also an original blacksmith’s workshop with a bell tower. These two buildings offer different insights into local architectural history: the chapel through its design and carving, and the forge as part of the village centre.

In Černice, the Church of Saint Mary Magdalene forms a well-preserved ensemble with a bell tower, mortuary, cemetery wall and a passage ossuary built into the wall. The rectory there also has a long architectural history: its core is Late Gothic, as evidenced by the surviving saddle portal on the ground floor. The listed farmstead at No. 3 in Záhorkovice is not open to the public. If you plan to visit it, check the access information before your trip.

A document from 1315 records Mojné and Černice as property that Bavor III of Strakonice donated to the monastery of Svatá trnová koruna. Mojné belonged to the monastery’s property for more than four and a half centuries. Another historical feature is the Shrovetide celebration with its distinctive “Koníček” ritual: it was held exclusively in Mojné and differed from the rose- or straw-themed processions customary in Doudlebsko.

Karel Hrdina also connects Černice with cultural history. A memorial plaque is on his birthplace. Hrdina translated both the “Vlastní životopis Karla IV.” and Kosmas’s “Chronicle of Bohemia.”
