Discover Nevolice: Village Square, Landscape and Cycling Route

Nevolice combines rural history with an open cultural landscape and several documented routes for exploring on foot or by bicycle. The village is particularly interesting if, while travelling through the Czech Republic, you are looking not only for a sight, but want to combine traces of everyday life, historical narratives and landscape in one manageable destination.

This gives you different points of focus when choosing where to stay: In the village, you can discover a chapel, memorial, folk architecture and literary connections; outside the built-up area, arable land, permanent grassland, copses and paths shape the landscape of Nevolice.

Village Square with Chapel and Commemorative Culture

The Chapel of St. Martin stands in the middle of the village square. It was built in 1879 and is dedicated to Saint Martin, who is regarded as the patron saint of farmers. Directly next to the chapel is the memorial to those who fell in the First World War. Its form makes it particularly distinctive: it is a cone-shaped granite pylon on a base of cyclopean masonry.

The memorial was erected on 30 May 1926 and commemorates six local citizens who did not return from the First World War. Thus, alongside the chapel's religious association, the village square also contains a specific historical memorial site. Farmstead No. 36 is another testimony to the local building culture and an example of Nevolice's folk architecture.

Alois Jirásek and the History of the Village

Nevolice also has a connection to Czech literary history. The prominent writer Alois Jirásek attended a dance event here in 1882 at the U Vachurů inn. At the same time, he collected material in Nevolice for his novel Psohlavci. Anyone interested in places where literature and regional tradition meet will find an unusually specific point of connection here.

Economic history is also part of the village landscape: a cooperative steam-powered mill was established in Nevolice. This reference adds an aspect of communal work and local development to the visible religious and architectural landmarks.

Cycling and Hiking in the Cultural Landscape

Cycling Route 2014 runs through the Nevolice area. It is 56 kilometres long and gives your travel planning a clear cycling focus, without requiring you to get to know the village solely through individual buildings. A tourist route also runs through Nevolice. For exploring on foot, a field path is also significant; it runs parallel to an old hollow-way route and is used as a tourist path.

A possible historical branch of the Řezenská stezka trade route led from Stráž via Nevolice to Domažlice. This possible historical course should not be equated with a trade route that still exists unchanged today.

Fields, Trees and Biocorridor

Most of the Nevolice area consists of arable land and permanent grassland. The landscape is structured by copses, tree-lined roads, remnants of avenues of trees in the fields and scattered trees. South of Nevolice, the Nevolický potok flows through a biocorridor. This combination of agriculturally used land, individual woody structures and the watercourse describes the character of the landscape more precisely than a general promise of nature.

You can then check accommodation with Nevolice as the destination of your search, without inferring specific amenities, prices or availability of individual properties from the village's location.
