Theresiendorf combines a protected natural area with a cultural monument whose date is known, as well as several cycling connections. Novohradské hory Nature Park also lies within the administrative area of the municipality of Pohorská Ves; St. Linhart Church and two described routes add local history and cycling to the picture. When choosing a destination, you can decide whether nature, architectural history or a cycling route is your priority.

Nature Park and Local History

Novohradské hory Nature Park protects an extensive mountain and foothill landscape with natural forests and meadows, bogs, ponds and spring areas. It also includes preserved historic features. These details bring together the natural environment and cultural heritage within a broad protected-area context. This is on a different scale from St. Linhart Church itself: the nature park represents a large landscape, while the church is a building with a precisely known date.

St. Linhart Church

St. Linhart Church in Pohorská Ves dates from 1787. It has a single nave and a small wooden tower above the west façade. “Single-nave” describes a church with one nave; together with the year of construction and the tower’s position, this provides a brief architectural overview.

The history of Pohorská Ves dates back to the second half of the 18th century. The year 1787 falls within that period and gives the church a precise construction date alongside the broader historical context of the village. If you would like to connect local history and architecture, you can consider these two points in time together.

The church is being restored gradually and is developing into a venue for liturgical and cultural activities; the programme may change. At the adjacent tourist information centre, visitors can look inside the church and learn about the restoration. If the restoration status or the opportunity to look inside is important to your plans, check the current visiting options in advance.

The information centre in Pohorská Ves provides information about the region and events organised by the municipal administration and the Terezie Beautification Association. This offers a point of reference for regional topics and events, in addition to the building’s history. Check specific dates before your trip.

Cycling: two different route descriptions

Two different route descriptions are also available for cycling. The cycling tour “From Budějovice through the Novohradské Mountains” passes through Malonty and Pohorská Ves; this is where the tour reaches its highest point. Cycling Route 1193 runs from Pohorská Ves via Huťský rybník and Pohoří na Šumavě to Dolní Příbrání.

The first description highlights a high point along the tour. The numbered route, by contrast, gives a specific sequence of a starting point, intermediate locations and a destination. This distinction can help you choose: you can either use the highest point on the described tour as your guide or follow the named locations along Route 1193. Check the current route details and surface before setting off.
