Roseč: Nature, Fossils and Family Experiences

Roseč between protected landscape, village culture and family experiences

Roseč lies on the edge of the Třeboňsko Protected Landscape Area and is suitable as a starting point for hikes and cycling tours. At the same time, the village combines historical landmarks, an unusual fossil museum and a wide range of family activities. Hikes and cycling tours are presented alongside a tour of the village, not instead of the historical sites. If you would like to combine nature, culture and shared experiences during your stay, you will find several clearly distinct highlights here.

Historical details in the village

The Church of Saint Simon and Jude in Roseč was built in 1551 in the Renaissance style. The building has a single nave and features a tower, a rectangular chancel and a two-storey sacristy. This makes the church an architectural highlight for a cultural tour of the village.

A statue of Saint John of Nepomuk dating from 1722 stands in Roseč village square. It is considered a relatively rare work in the region by a folk-art master. Farní stodola was built at the beginning of the 19th century as a farm building for the local parish church and complements this sequence of village historical landmarks. The church, statue and Farní stodola each add a different accent, representing a sacred building, village square and former farm building.

Fossils and the history of the Earth

The Muzeum Fosílií Roseč was established in 2008 and presents the development of the Earth through a unique collection of fossil plant and animal finds. The collection includes plant and animal finds from across Europe and traces the development of the Earth since the Cambrian period. The geographical range of the finds complements the chronological scope and makes the museum an independent cultural attraction alongside the village's history. This gives you a separate excursion focus that combines an experience of nature with the history of the Earth without being limited to a single era.

Nature and destinations in the surrounding area

Family experiences with exercise and water

Léto v kukuřici offers a corn maze, a large straw castle, trampolines, beach volleyball and football.

You can therefore assess Roseč according to your preferred focus: hikes and cycling tours, village history and culture, fossils and the history of the Earth, or a more active family day.
