When planning a trip to Nová Ves u Chýnova, you can explore several themes: historic buildings and settlement features, as well as a hiking route from Chýnov to Chýnovská jeskyně that passes through the village. St. Anne’s Church, a wayside shrine, the village green and a road bridge offer tangible points of connection with the village’s history. The hike has a different focus and can be assessed using the stated difficulty rating and elevation change.

St. Anne’s Church and Local History

St. Anne’s Church was built in 1875 by Josef and Anna Strnadovi. It was renovated around 1930 and again in the 1990s. A mass is celebrated there every year on the feast day of Saint Anne; the tradition continues to this day. If you would like to plan your trip around this date, check the exact date locally in advance.

A wayside shrine of unknown age has been adapted in more recent times. The religious buildings therefore include both precisely dated features—such as the year the church was built—and a monument whose age is unknown.

Village Green, Settlement Pattern and Buildings

The broad, grassy village green was once used as pasture for domestic poultry. From the 18th century onward, small houses were gradually built on it. The change took place over time: the former pasture use gave way to gradual construction, rather than a single start to building across the entire area.

The layout of Malá Ves also offers a distinct indication of the settlement pattern: the village quarter was laid out on a horseshoe-shaped plan. Another local feature is the stone cross in front of František Prokop’s farm in Nová Ves u Chýnova. It was made by the stonemason Studenovský.

In the village quarter of Nová Ves u Chýnova, a road bridge crosses the Kozský potok. It is a solid, single-arch stone structure, built partly of bricks. “Single-arch” describes the structure’s form; the reference to bricks adds to the description of its materials. The bridge also blends sensitively into the natural terrain.

Nová Ves u Chýnova and Turovec lie on a roughly 8 km² deposit of Permian sandstone. Most older buildings and religious monuments in the surrounding area are made from local Permian sandstone. The connection with this material therefore extends beyond individual buildings: it encompasses both the geological deposit and the widespread use of the stone in older buildings and religious monuments in the surrounding area.

Hiking Route to Chýnovská jeskyně

A hiking route from Chýnov to Chýnovská jeskyně passes through Nová Ves u Chýnova, Dobronice and Chotčiny. It is rated easy and has an elevation change of 279 m. The difficulty rating and elevation change are two different points of reference for planning: the first indicates the stated level of difficulty, while the second describes the route’s change in elevation. Check current trail conditions and access before setting out.

This allows you to choose between focusing on local history or hiking without conflating the route with the individual historic buildings. If you include the hike in your plans, take the trail conditions into account; if you are interested in the village’s history, you will find specific dates, material features and different settlement patterns.
