Roudná combines a riverside location with a layered history: the Lužnice flows through the village, while Janov is associated with church history and remembrance. In the summer months, holidaymakers and anglers visit Roudná. When choosing where to stay, you can first consider whether you are more interested in the riverside location, a walk, or the historic sites.

Riverside setting, summer visits and hiking

The Lužnice flows through Roudná and provides a clear geographical reference point for getting your bearings. Roudná is popular with holidaymakers and anglers in the summer months. Summer recreation and fishing are different reasons to visit from the church and remembrance history of Janov. A green-marked hiking trail also passes through Roudná. If you like to include a walk in your stay, this gives you a specific hiking option.

Churches in Janov: construction, consecration and regional role

The Church of Saint John of Nepomuk in Janov was built in 1712 and consecrated in 1716. The year of construction and the year of consecration refer to different milestones, not conflicting dates. Historically, the church developed into the religious center of the surrounding communities of Roudná, Sedlečko, Myslkovice, Košice and Doubí. Its role thus extended beyond Janov. A chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Help stands near the church. The church and chapel have different dedications. Their proximity makes it easy to compare these two sacred landmarks.

Pilgrimage tradition in Roudná

Roudná has its own tradition: pilgrimages have been held there for as long as anyone can remember. According to tradition, they are said to have set the beginnings of permanent settlement in motion. Thus, alongside the religious center in Janov, Roudná has its own pilgrimage tradition.

Remembrance and a cultural monument

Another part of the history can be seen in the cemetery in Janov. The remains of an unknown concentration camp prisoner are located there. They were found in the winter of 1944/45, after a death transport had passed the Roudná stop. The reference to the stop also anchors the events in Roudná’s history, while the cemetery marks the place where the remains were found in Janov. A large linden tree, listed as a cultural monument, also stands in front of house no. 15 in Janov. It broadens the view of local heritage beyond the churches and cemetery.

Autokemp Pohoda: location and surroundings

Autokemp Pohoda is set in attractive grounds at a former sand quarry, near the Lužnice and about 10 km south of Tábor. The approximate distance locates the campsite in relation to the town; the sand quarry and river provide further geographical points of reference for its location. The site’s former use as a sand quarry and its proximity to the Lužnice give it a different landscape character from the historic sites in Janov.
