Revnov combines village history with cycling routes that pass through the village. The chapel, former school and other buildings offer tangible historical and architectural points of interest. For travel planning, you can also choose a field path with views of Chotoviny and one of two route descriptions.

Village History and Notable Buildings

The first written mention of Revnov dates from 1542. A much more recent date marks the history of former school No. 37: it was built in 1912. A commemorative plaque on the building honours Ludvík Bednář, the former headmaster. A hundred-year-old oak trees can be seen behind the school. Here, an early written record and several tangible traces of the village’s more recent history come together in one place.

Revnov’s architectural heritage includes, in addition to former school No. 37, a chapel and building No. 36. There are also groups of rural buildings, Nos. 7, 8 and 13, and Nos. 11, 18 and 28. Buildings Nos. 22, 23, 24 and 32 are listed as a group of folk architecture. The examples therefore range from individual buildings to groups of rural buildings. The village layout and rural residential buildings are also among the village’s urban planning assets.

The chapel is maintained, and its tower houses a bell. There is a bench in front of the building where you can rest. One of the regular events in Revnov is “Loučení s létem” (Farewell to Summer). If you would like to plan your trip around it, check the event dates for your planned travel period.

Field Path, Views and Landscape

A field path leads from the village square past a wayside cross and offers views of Chotoviny. This is a practical way to explore Revnov on foot: start at the village square, pass the wayside cross, and take in the view of Chotoviny.

The cadastral area of Revnov lies within Jistebnická vrchovina Nature Park. This geographical setting complements the village features described here without replacing the individual buildings and paths: the school, chapel and named groups of buildings are relevant for exploring the architectural heritage, while the field path from the village square is described as a viewpoint. The village’s history and its landscape setting can therefore be considered as separate aspects of trip planning.

Cycling Routes Through Revnov

Cycle Route No. 11 passes through Revnov. From there, it continues along a field path towards the ruins of Borotín Castle and the village of the same name. Another signposted tour, “Za Jistebnickým kancionálem,” is 48 km long and runs from Tábor via Chotoviny and Revnov to Borotín. For this tour, both the total distance and the sequence of named places are specified.

The difference between the route descriptions can help you choose: the 48 km tour describes a longer sequence of places and gives the total distance, while Route No. 11 focuses on its passage through Revnov and its onward direction towards Borotín. Check the route and conditions before setting off, as route conditions can change. This lets you plan according to the route actually described, rather than assuming a suitable distance based on the place name alone.

Accommodation in Revnov

Holiday accommodation is available year-round in former school No. 37. Built in 1912, the building bears a commemorative plaque to the former headmaster Ludvík Bednář and is also a specific accommodation option for a trip to Revnov. Check availability before you arrive. The cycling routes, historic buildings and field path offer different ways to plan your stay in Revnov.
