Řevničov: Village History and Trails Through Nature

Řevničov combines medieval traces, preserved local history, and marked trails with a protected natural area. This creates different options for planning your trip: you can discover historical details in the village, take a manageable hike, or make Cycle Route 8192 the focus of your day.

History in the Villagescape and Living Traditions

Řevničov was founded on the basis of a charter of foundation signed by John of Luxembourg on 4 November 1325 in Münnerstadt, Bavaria. The Church of Saints Peter and Paul in Řevničov is mentioned as early as 1352 and was later rebuilt in the late Baroque style. The historic village square has been preserved to this day. Another notable building is Oličova Vila, House No. 138, an architecturally interesting building made of hand-worked Džbán marlstone.

The historical points of interest are therefore not isolated from one another: the village square, church, chapel, and villa give a tour several thematic stops between older village history and later architecture.

The local festivals also give the village its own annual rhythm. Řevničovské posvícení is held every year on the third Sunday in October. Řevničovská pouť is celebrated on the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul. The Chapel of Saint Anne dates from 1830 and adds to the historical points of interest in the village.
