Several different points of interest can help you decide whether Chrtníč is right for your stay: the Radinovka stream, the C2 Field Path, the history of the former village of Radinov and regular community events. They make it easier to compare the landscape, historic places, walking destinations and events as different reasons to visit. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, these topics can help shape your stay.
Stream and landscape
The Radinovka stream, which flows through Chrtníč, divides the village into two parts and is a right-bank tributary of the Sázavka River. Forests cover 150 hectares of the municipality’s total area of 661 hectares, or just under a quarter. The stream divides Chrtníč itself, while the forest area refers to the municipality as a whole. This brings together a specific feature within the village and a broader landscape perspective.
History of Chrtníč and Radinov
Chrtníč was founded at the beginning of the 14th century as part of the colonisation activities of Vilémov Monastery. The first written mention of Chrtníč in the Land Tables dates from 1391. The beginning of the 14th century marks its founding; 1391 is its first written mention. Radinov was originally a village with a fortress and a rectory. The Early Gothic Church of St Bartholomew in Radinov was dedicated to St Bartholomew around 1250 and remains at the site of the former village. Its dedication around 1250 places it earlier in time than the founding of Chrtníč at the beginning of the 14th century.
The C2 Field Path and its destinations
The C2 Field Path begins in the built-up area of the municipality of Chrtníč and is just under 1.0 km long. It provides access to the surrounding farmland, the isolated settlement of Radinov, and the Church of St Bartholomew with its local cemetery. The church links the path with the history of the area: it stands at the site of the former village of Radinov and is one of the destinations accessible via the C2. Check local surface conditions before setting out; they may change.
Regular community events
Regular community events held in Chrtníč include balls. A Masopust carnival procession and the raising of a maypole are also regular parts of community life. These events offer a different focus for a stay than the field path or historic sites. If you would like to plan your travel dates around a particular event, check the specific date before you travel.
Planning Sunday services
Sunday services at the filial Church of St Bartholomew are listed at 3:00 p.m. in winter and 4:00 p.m. in summer. The schedule was updated on 24 March 2026; check the current time with the parish before your visit. The summer time is one hour later than the winter time. The historical context and the service time answer different questions: the church remains at the site of the former village of Radinov, while the times given are for Sunday services.
