Rohle: Cultural Monuments, Reservoir and Cycle Paths

Rohle combines a basin landscape surrounded by wooded hills with the Rohelnice stream, two cycle paths running through the village and a remarkable selection of cultural monuments. This creates a destination where nature, water, cycling and history can be combined in a variety of ways. The village offers several specific starting points for planning your days, especially for families with different interests.

Basin Landscape and Cycle Paths

Rohle lies in a basin landscape whose central feature is the Rohelnice stream. The wooded hills surrounding the village define its landscape character. Two designated cycle paths run through Rohle for active exploration: Cycle Path 6114 connects Nedvězí with Šumperk. Cycle Path 6232 runs from Rohelská bouda to Zábřeh. The different starting and end points help you incorporate the two routes into your travel plans in the direction you prefer, without presupposing distances or travel times.

Rohle Reservoir and Historical Traces

The Rohle Reservoir is located in the cadastral area of Rohle and is considered an attractive tourist destination. It is occasionally used for recreation and fishing. It therefore adds another thematic focus to the cycle paths and cultural monuments. The village also has a long history: surviving sources mention Rohle from 1356 onward; the first indications date from around 1290.

Cultural Monuments with Specific Details

The Church of St. Martin is a Neoclassical church, also classified as being in the Empire style, dating from 1802–1803. Next to it, in a niche, is the sculpture of an angel, a work made of dark sandstone from the end of the 19th century. The Calvary sculpture group is a cultural monument dating from 1808.

Other testimonies include the Statue of St. Florian, a cultural monument made of Maletín sandstone from the first third of the 19th century, and the Holy Trinity Column. This immovable cultural monument made of Maletín sandstone dates from 1835. The Kupecký House is a listed vernacular building from the first half of the 19th century; its long veranda is supported by sandstone columns.

The Statue of St. John of Nepomuk in Rohle dates from 1833. Rocha stands in the Rohle cemetery; its restoration was financed through a collection. House No. 65 is also part of the village’s historical character: the building was added to the list of cultural monuments of the Czech Republic in 1999 and bears registration number ÚSKPČR 49759/9-51.

Which Focuses Suit Your Stay

If you are looking for nature and activity on your trip, the two cycle paths lead in different directions and thus offer different planning options. The reservoir represents recreation and occasional fishing, while the church, sculptures and historic buildings enable cultural discoveries. When choosing your accommodation, you can therefore first decide whether water, cycling or Rohle’s history should be the focus of your stay.
