Nová Ves V Horách – Culture, Trails and Cross-Border Experiences

Nová Ves V Horách combines an engaging local history with trails that connect cultural and natural experiences across the border. If you would like to choose between a museum, marked routes and cross-country skiing during your stay, you will find several clear points of interest here: the Novoveské Museum, the Church of St. Michael the Archangel, a local cycling route, hiking trails and well-maintained cross-country ski tracks.

Culture and History in the Village

The Novoveské Museum displays preserved exhibits depicting life in the village’s houses, as well as a school from an earlier period. The museum also includes wooden toys, whose local production began in the second half of the 18th century. Alongside the former everyday life, you can therefore encounter a specific local craft tradition. Everyday life, education in earlier times and local toy production thus stand side by side here.

The late Baroque Church of St. Michael the Archangel, together with the adjoining rectory from the second half of the 18th century, is an important cultural monument in Nová Ves v Horách. The church building was reconstructed between 1780 and 1784 and consecrated on 19 September 1784. For visitors interested in culture, the history of everyday life is thus complemented by the clearly dated architectural history of the church.

Cycling and Hiking Trails with Different Foci

For cycling, the Cyklostezka Nová Ves–Mníšek provides a local cycling route. The “Cyklotrasa: Nová Ves v Horách – zámek Jezeří” route is also suitable for pedestrians. From Nová Ves v Horách–Mikulovice, a red-marked, paved trail leads gently uphill to the junction of marked trails at Dřevařský rybník. This gently ascending paved section consequently has a different character from the cross-border connections and the educational trail.

The “Dvě země – jeden region” educational trail comprises 22 stations, more than 30 information boards, and more than 20 play and knowledge elements, and is classified as moderately difficult. The cross-border “Dvě země – jeden region” experience and educational trail ends after 12 km in Lesná at Horský hotel Lesná. For a trip with changing information and play elements, it therefore offers a distinctly different focus from the local cycling and hiking trails. The combination of 22 stations, more than 30 information boards, and more than 20 play and knowledge elements makes the route both informative and interactive; its classification as moderately difficult helps with day planning.

The Přeshraniční turistická stezka Nová Ves–Deutschneudorf is a cross-border hiking and tourist trail. The Jeřabina lookout tower was reconstructed and reopened to the public on 28 June 2009. The Lesná section of the route between Lesná and Český Jiřetín also contains the Krušnohorský lidový dům folk museum and the Chapel of St. Anthony.
