Břevnice lies above the stream of the same name. There are two different starting points to consider when planning your visit: a terrain route between Břevnice and Ronovec, and architectural and commemorative landmarks at several locations. First consider whether a hike with a clearly defined distance or the local history should play a greater role in your stay. This will help you decide on a focus before including individual routes and historic sites in your plans.

Hiking routes with different points of interest

The Břevnice–Ronovec terrain route is six kilometres long; a different distance can be agreed upon. This gives you a specific indication of the route’s length while leaving room to choose a different distance if that better suits your plans. The Břevnice–Ronovec field programme begins and ends at Břevnice railway station. For this programme, the railway station is therefore both the starting point and the endpoint. The length of the terrain route and the field programme’s starting and ending points answer different questions when planning a tour.

A yellow-marked hiking trail passes through Břevnice. From Břevnice, another yellow-marked trail leads to nearby Ronovec Castle. Cycle route No. 4157 also passes through the village. Your choice depends on the point of interest you are looking for: Břevnice as a place a route passes through, Ronovec as the destination of a trail, or a route to cycle. These details offer different ways to tailor your tour to your destination and mode of transport. You do not have to combine the routes into a single outing.

Before setting out on a hike, check the current route and access conditions, especially for the trail to Ronovec Castle.

A manor house, an estate, and historic crosses

An 18th-century Baroque manor house stands on the southwestern edge of the village. Near the entrance to the Břevnice estate, a stone Baroque cross bearing a symbolic depiction of Christ stands between two lime trees. The cross is dated 1760. The manor house and the cross are different historic points of interest: one is on the edge of the village, the other by the entrance to the estate. The date and depiction give the cross its own distinct context alongside the building.

The former Lažany manor farm, northeast of the village, belongs to Břevnice. South of the Lažany farm, an 1872 cast-iron cross stands at the edge of a wood. The two crosses can be distinguished by their materials and dates: the cross near the entrance to the estate is made of stone and dates from 1760; the one at Lažany is made of cast iron and is dated 1872. Their locations also distinguish them: one stands by the entrance to the estate, the other south of the farm at the edge of a wood. These landmarks help you tell the two crosses apart in the context of local history.

If you are looking for a holiday apartment, you can use the main focus of your trip as your first planning filter: should the terrain route, with its adjustable length, take priority; should Ronovec be your hiking destination; or are you more interested in the historic village with its manor house and crosses?
