Discover Nehvizdy: History, Sports and Trails
Nehvizdy combines preserved cultural heritage with sports facilities and specific routes for cyclists and pedestrians. The town therefore offers various starting points for a trip: you can explore the history of the parish church of St. Wenceslas, visit the monument to Operation Anthropoid, or include active pursuits around the sports complex, tennis facilities and cycling trail in your plans.
St. Wenceslas and the Historical Heritage
The parish church of St. Wenceslas has been documented as a parish church since 1361. The small building is originally Romanesque or early Gothic and dates from the end of the 13th century. The church precinct of St. Wenceslas is the more significant preserved area of historical heritage in Nehvizdy. This provides a clear cultural focus for your tour, making the town’s history visible in a specific building. For visitors interested in culture, the church is therefore a tangible starting point for getting to know not only the town’s present-day offerings but also its historical character.
The Anthropoid Monument
Another historical point of reference stands on U Hřbitova Street near the Nehvizdy sports complex: the monument to the parachute drop of Operation Anthropoid. The sandstone monument is shaped like a parachute. Three bronze rods, or parachute cords, bear the names of the paratroopers and the title of their mission. The combination of sandstone, the parachute shape and bronze elements gives the memorial site a clearly recognizable visual design. The location is easily accessible to visitors. This makes it possible to combine a visit to a historical memorial site with other destinations in the town without reducing the monument’s significance to merely a tourist attraction.
Sports, Tennis and Dance
The Nehvizdy sports complex has an athletics track, a football pitch, a beach volleyball court and tennis courts. The selection thus ranges from running and ball sports to tennis and offers various possibilities for an active day. At the Sokol Nehvizdy tennis complex, the reconstructed tennis courts with artificial surfaces and new fencing are used extensively; during the summer months, the complex is rented to the general public. For children and young people, the DIGA dance school offers courses in classical and modern dance, flamenco, dance gymnastics, Czech folk dance, hip-hop and musical theatre dance. The APOLLÓNIE course takes place at Pražská 14 (ZUŠ), 250 81 Nehvizdy, in classroom No. 10. The precise room information provides the course with a specific venue.
Getting Around on Foot or by Bicycle
Cesta u sv. Anny is accessible and can be used by bicycle or on foot as far as the railway tracks in Mstětice. It provides access to the railway station and, after a few dozen metres on the road, connects to the cycling trail in Mstětice.
