Újezd U Rosic – Springs Route and Historic Chapel

Újezd U Rosic combines a notable historical landmark with a landscape that can be explored along a springs route or on a day trip. For your travel planning, the question is therefore less about compiling a long list of sights and more about choosing the right focus: Would you like to learn about the history of the town, experience the landscape along the Chvojnice stream, or combine both?

The Chapel of St. Francis in the Historic Town Center

The Chapel of St. Francis dates from 1852 and is part of the historic town center of Újezd u Rosic. It is also the only surviving historic building in Újezd u Rosic. However, its history goes back further: The chapel was originally built as a bell tower. The building therefore tells not only of a single year of construction, but also of the earlier function it served in the town.

There is another special connection with Saint Francis Seraphicus. A Mass is celebrated in the Chapel of St. Francis on the feast day of Saint Francis Seraphicus. Visitors interested in sacred buildings, local history, and regional traditions can include this cultural aspect in their travel plans. A visit to the chapel can serve as a peaceful counterpoint to a more active day in the countryside.

The Foothill Ridge and the Chvojnice Stream Valley

Most of Újezd u Rosic lies on the ridge of a foothill upland. Its southwestern part slopes down toward the valley of the Chvojnice stream. This topography gives the town two different perspectives: on the one hand, its position on the ridge is central; on the other, the landscape opens toward the valley. For travelers who enjoy exploring on foot, this description provides practical guidance for choosing their day’s itinerary without reducing the town to a single type of experience.

“Springs and Water in Újezd u Rosic”

The landscape becomes particularly vivid on the “Springs and Water in Újezd u Rosic” excursion. The route leads to the numerous well-maintained springs in Újezd u Rosic and is suitable for a full-day trip. According to the route recommendation, it begins at Maťova studánka. The excursion then leads from the confluence along the left bank of the Chvojnice Reservoir to the V Oltáříčkách spring, and then via field paths to Újezd u Rosic.

The town is therefore the destination of this described route. Families who would like to combine different interests can plan the springs route as a nature experience and add the Chapel of St. Francis as a cultural focus. Those looking for accommodation should therefore first decide whether the local history or the full-day excursion will shape their stay.
