Nová Ves brings together several distinct points of interest for a stay: its first written mention in 1347, a chapel with a bell tower, and a memorial to local victims of the First World War. There are also annual events, a sports field on the edge of the village, and the boundary of the Přírodní park Džbán nature park, which runs through the village. For your planning, it is worth considering the event dates, the arrangements needed to use the sports field, and your personal interests in history or the landscape separately.
Chapel, Memorial and Local History
Nová Ves is first mentioned in writing in 1347. The chapel with its bell tower dates from around the 18th century; nearby, a memorial commemorates local victims of the First World War. These features represent different chapters: the village’s first written mention, the chapel, and the commemoration of war victims. The year 1347 marks the first mention, not the chapel’s construction date. Because the chapel and memorial are close to each other, they form a shared point of interest, although their historical significance is different.
Events Throughout the Year
The dětský den (Children’s Day) takes place every year in June. The Mikulášská nadílka, a St. Nicholas celebration for children, is also held annually, in December. These months mark two widely spaced occasions in the annual calendar: June for the dětský den and December for the Mikulášská nadílka. If you would like to plan your stay around either event, check the exact date before setting your travel dates. This way, you can arrange your trip around the actual event day rather than the month alone.
Sports Field by Arrangement
On the edge of Nová Ves is the paved multipurpose sports field “Víceúčelové hřiště.” The field is fenced, but can be used by arrangement. Keys and sports equipment can be borrowed from the municipal office. This makes using the field an activity worth planning in advance: arrange access before your visit if you would like the field to be part of your stay. Availability and arrangements may change.
Landscape and Activities
The boundary of the Přírodní park Džbán nature park runs through Nová Ves. An unnamed stream, a right-bank tributary of the Smolnický potok, also flows through the village. Another point of interest for outdoor activities is the wooden cross in the forest near Nová Ves. It is associated with “Pytlácká pomsta,” a context linked to hiking and cycling. These local features are easy to distinguish: the nature park boundary and the stream run through Nová Ves, while the cross is in the forest near the village.
Plan Your Travel Dates and Stay
When looking for a holiday apartment in Nová Ves, you can first consider whether an event should determine your travel dates. June is relevant for the dětský den, and December for the Mikulášská nadílka; check the exact date before making plans. If you would also like to use the sports field, arranging access in advance is a separate planning step. This keeps your travel dates and planned activities as two distinct decisions.
