Revnov in the Czech Republic – Village History, Nature Park and Cycling Routes

Řevnov Between Village History and Nature

Řevnov is a destination for travelers who want to combine village history with landscapes and cycling tours. The village settlement layout and rural residential buildings are among the settlement’s urban-planning values. Its cadastral area lies within the Jistebnická vrchovina Nature Park. This gives Řevnov a clear contrast between its historic village character and the nature-park landscape.

Historic Traces in the Village Landscape

The first written mention of Řevnov dates back to 1542. There is a bell in the chapel tower. The former school in Řevnov, house number 37, was built in 1912. A commemorative plaque honoring the former headmaster Ludvík Bednář is located on the former school building. Hundred-year-old oak trees can be seen behind the building.

The architectural values in Řevnov include the former school No. 37, a chapel, building No. 36, the groups of rural buildings at Nos. 7, 8 and 13, as well as Nos. 11, 18 and 28, and the group of folk architecture at Nos. 22, 23, 24 and 32. A walking tour can include individual house numbers as well as connected groups of rural buildings.

Chapel, Field Path and View

The well-maintained chapel in Řevnov has a bench in front of the building where visitors can rest. From the village square, a field path passes a wayside cross and offers a view of Chotoviny. The nature park provides the broader landscape setting, while the path from the village square offers a specific experience in the surrounding area. Exploring on foot thus combines a resting spot at the chapel with a path offering a view.

Řevnov on Several Cycling Routes

Cycling route No. 11 passes through Řevnov; from there, it follows a field path toward the ruins of Borotín Castle and the municipality of the same name. Another option is the signposted, 48 km cycling tour “Za Jistebnickým kancionálem”. It leads from Tábor via Chotoviny and Řevnov to Borotín. The Tábor–Prčice–Tábor cycling route also passes through Chotoviny and Řevnov. The three routes differ in terms of day planning: The “Za Jistebnickým kancionálem” tour is 48 km long, while route No. 11 focuses on the field-path section and the direction toward Borotín. The Tábor–Prčice–Tábor route adds another section passing through Řevnov to these two routes. The fixed total length and the field-path section address different planning considerations.

Events and Accommodation

Events regularly held in Řevnov include “Loučení s létem”. Year-round accommodation for vacationers is available in the former school at Řevnov 37. The former school thus combines architectural history, remembrance and an overnight accommodation option at the same address.
