Černovice

Černovice is an interesting destination for travelers who want to combine natural features, local culture and a clearly described cycling connection. When choosing accommodation, the desired focus of your stay is particularly important: you may wish to focus on protected landscapes, historical points of interest in the village, traditional festivals or the route of cycle path 5142.

Nature Reserves and Distinctive Landscapes

One of the most impressive natural features is Habrová. The nature monument lies in the cadastral area of Černovice u Kunštátu. It protects an exceptionally well-preserved remnant of one of the highest-lying near-natural, hornbeam-dominated stands with a species-rich herb layer. There are also remarkable rock formations in the summit area of Habrová. This means that the site is not merely a name for nature research, but also offers a clearly distinguishable combination of forest community, species-rich vegetation and rocky landscape.

The Ploník nature reserve also extends into the cadastral area of Černovice u Kunštátu. It protects wetlands of landscape and botanical value as well as mature raised bogs. Another distinctive feature is Hersica, a nature monument in the cadastral areas of Černovice u Kunštátu, Hluboké u Kunštátu and Bedřichov. Its protected components include woodland bog communities, highly endangered spring snowflakes and near-natural alder stands.

A European protected area in the valley of the Chlébský Stream

The European protected area Údolí Chlébského potoka is part of the wider landscape context. It lies in the Hornosvratecká vrchovina highlands, in the valley of the Chlébský Stream between Chlébská and Černovice. This precise location describes the character of the protected area better than a general designation for a natural landscape: what matters is the valley, the course of the stream and its setting in the Hornosvratecká vrchovina highlands.

Church, Presbytery and Černovice Hody

In addition to nature, it is worth exploring Černovice’s notable cultural landmarks. The Church of Saint John the Baptist, with the adjoining cemetery, stands on a terrain terrace north of the historic center of the village. This location is a useful reference point if you want to get to know the village not only through its protected areas, but also through its architectural points of reference.

The presbytery in Černovice was selected as one of the 32 best-restored cultural monuments in the region. The tradition of the Černovice Hody also provides a distinctive point in time. This festival includes traditional dress, inherited customs and a dance celebration that brings the event to a close. In Černovice, the Hody traditionally take place on the third Sunday in October. Anyone wishing to organize their trip around regional culture can therefore take this date into account specifically.

Cycling and Further Research

For cyclists, the route of cycle path 5142 is a concrete point of reference. The cycle path runs along the Letovice–Hodůvka route via Kunštát, Sychotín, Hluboké u Kunštátu, Tasovice and Černovice. Černovice can therefore also be researched in connection with a cycling route described across several places, without equating the route with a single sight or a specific accommodation offer.

For further research, you can also compare Krhov, Prostřední Poříčí, Těchov, Lhota Rapotina, Vilémovice U Macochy, Černá Hora, Skrchov and Krasová.
