The Chapel of Saint Anne and the Jihlava–Třebíč–Raabs cycling route are two specific points of interest for a stay in Velký Beranov. A wooden bell tower stands beside the chapel, and the cycling route passes through the town. Together, they create a clear contrast between a cultural-historical theme and an activity along a route.
Chapel and Bell Tower
The chapel is dedicated to Saint Anne and was built in 1837. The wooden bell tower was erected beside it on April 16, 2025. This brings together, in one place, a building from the 19th century and a more recent addition. The dates refer to different things: 1837 is the year the chapel was built, while 2025 is when the tower was erected. Visitors interested in sacred buildings will find a clear chronological contrast here and a specific reason to view the town through the lens of its architectural history.
Cycling Route and Activity Options
The Jihlava–Třebíč–Raabs cycling route passes through Velký Beranov. About a third of the entire route is built as a cycle path; most of these sections can also be used by inline skaters. For the most part, the route runs away from main roads, usually along field and forest tracks or traffic-calmed roads. These are different details to consider when planning: the approximate proportion describes how much of the route is built as a cycle path, while the types of roads indicate the character of the route as a whole. The information about inline skating applies to most of the built cycle-path sections, not to the entire route. Check the current route and conditions before setting out.
Cycling and inline skating can be considered separately based on this information: the route passes through the town, but the inline-skating information applies to most of the built cycle-path sections. If you are planning an activity, you can take this distinction into account when choosing the right route.
Public Transport and Local Cultural Life
Jihlava’s MHD (urban public transport) line 12 serves Velký Beranov. If you plan to use this connection, check the current timetable before travelling. Another aspect of local cultural life is the cultural centre, which has a dance hall. It offers residents opportunities to take part in cultural activities. Alongside the chapel, these municipal cultural activities are also part of the town’s character.
A Historical Event Notice
A municipal newsletter from the third quarter of 2013 described the Sports and Children’s Day during the Beranov pilgrimage festival as an annual event organized by TJ. That year, the day took place on Saturday, July 27. The date is therefore clearly specific to 2013.
Choose Accommodation Based on Your Travel Interests
When looking for a holiday apartment, you can first consider whether you would rather base your stay around the cycling route or the cultural-historical sites of the chapel and bell tower. When comparing specific options, their location in relation to your own plans will be important. You can also take the transport connection and the current timetable for line 12 into account when planning.
