Nová Ves – Oslava Nature Park and Trails to the Springs

Nová Ves lies on the edge of Oslava Nature Park and combines a scenically appealing location with a remarkable local history. At the same time, Nová Ves is a former wine-growing village – a historical reference to the character of the place, which today arouses curiosity mainly through its nature trails, springs, and local traditions. If you are looking for accommodation for a varied stay in the Czech Republic, you will find specific starting points here for excursions, exploring the village, and quiet days in the surrounding area.

Springs and marked trails in the surrounding area

One destination north of Nová Ves is Svatá voda. It is a plentiful spring of very pleasantly tasting mineral water in a side valley.

An asphalt forest road leads from Nová Ves to Studánka U Berana; the route then continues along the yellow-marked trail, and the spring is 1.5 km from the village. Studánka U Berana – also known as Pramen U Dobré vody or Pramen lásky – is one of the most abundant water sources in the Oslava river basin. It is also located on the yellow-marked trail between Senorady and Oslavany. Near Nová Ves, this trail runs from Oslavany through the Oslava Valley to Senoradský mlýn. This makes it possible when planning to compare different sections of the route and destinations instead of heading for just a single viewpoint.

Sports complex and local tradition

Nová Ves's school sports complex includes a covered multipurpose hall with a telescopic structure for ball sports. The complex also includes an indoor swimming pool with complete facilities. These amenities are part of the local infrastructure and give the village an additional, sports-oriented character alongside its trails and springs. A distinct tradition is represented by the Rozmarýnové hody, which traditionally take place in Nová Ves every year at the end of September. For families wishing to combine experiences in nature with an insight into local customs, this event provides a clear cultural point of reference.

History that remains visible in the wider surrounding area

Nová Ves was founded around 1410 after the abandoned settlement of Řevušín, which was mentioned in 1230. The local history also includes the Majer stonemason family, which originated in Nová Ves. Its members created stone crosses and statues that are still scattered throughout the wider surrounding area. Those who wish to take note of not only the landscape but also historical traces during their stay will find a second layer here alongside the springs and trails.

Nová Ves as a starting point for planning your trip

Nová Ves may be considered as an accommodation base if you wish to combine Oslava Nature Park, marked trails, springs, and the history of the village.
