Horní Radouň offers several distinct points of interest for a trip: cycling route 1239, a museum of motorcycles and bicycles, and the Chapel of St. John of Nepomuk. The surrounding landscape is another attraction.
Landscape and cycling route
Near Horní Radouň lies Najdecké čihadlo, the highest peak in the area at 692 m above sea level. This provides a specific reference point for elevation, adding a landscape perspective alongside the town centre and its cultural attractions.
Cycling route 1239 passes through Horní Radouň and runs from Červená Lhota Castle through the town to Žirovnice Castle. The two castles provide clear endpoints for the route; Horní Radouň lies between them along the route described. If you are planning a cycling trip, you can therefore include the town as part of this specific route. This is a different way to plan your trip from a stay focused on the museum collection or the chapel.
Museum and chapel
The Museum of Motorcycles and Bicycles is located in the former local school in the town centre. The collection includes about 80 motorcycles from fifteen Czechoslovak manufacturers, as well as motorcycles from abroad. This is an approximate figure; the collection may change. If you plan to visit the museum, check in advance what is currently on display.
The Chapel of St. John of Nepomuk is a plastered brick building with a square floor plan, dating from the first quarter of the 19th century. Its polygonal bell tower has a dome. These details cover several aspects of its architectural character: construction and materials, shape, period and tower design. A square floor plan describes the shape of the building as seen from above; polygonal refers to a shape with several sides. The floor plan and tower can therefore be understood as distinct architectural details. Brick is the building material; plaster forms the coating on the exterior surface.
This comparison can help you choose the focus of your trip: the cycling route follows a named course between two castles; the motorcycle collection is the main attraction at the museum; and the chapel draws attention to its architectural form and bell tower. Najdecké čihadlo adds a high point in the landscape to the cultural and route-related attractions. First decide which of these themes you would most like to shape your trip; this can also help you choose accommodation to suit your priorities.
