Discover Cernov: Culture, Tradition and Landscape

Černov combines designated cultural monuments, an authentically preserved tradition, and distinctive landscape features. This creates a destination whose character is revealed not only through individual sights: local history, the mining and ore-processing settlement of Cvilínek, regional folk culture, and the surrounding mountains offer different ways to experience a stay.

Cultural History in Černov

Several specific reminders of the past can be found in the village itself. The Boží muka monument in Černov is designated as an immovable cultural monument. The second floor was added to the school building in 1884. The school operated for more than a century and was closed in 1977. Another distinctive building is House No. 7, which is designated as an architecturally valuable farmhouse. Together, these facts show different aspects of the village’s history—from religious remembrance and public education to rural architecture.

A Preserved Vysočina Tradition

The tradition of the Obchůzka lucek has been authentically preserved in Černov. Its cultural significance extends beyond the village: at the end of 2024, the Obchůzka lucek in Černov and Chrástov was included, under number 12/2024, in the List of Intangible Elements of Traditional Folk Culture of the Vysočina Region because of its uniqueness and authenticity.

Cvilínek and the Traces of Mining

Cvilínek is a particularly vivid link to the past: an exceptionally well-preserved 13th-century mining and ore-processing settlement in the valley of the upper reaches of the Kamenička, 550 m northeast of the centre of Černov. The settlement’s age connects Cvilínek with an early period in the history of Černov and its surroundings. The surviving elements make the former working methods understandable: at Cvilínek, wooden channels and channel systems carried water into wooden basins where ore was washed. The site thus combines a specific landscape setting with the history of mining and ore processing. When planning your excursions, the site therefore combines a specific landscape setting with vivid traces of historical work and technical ore processing.
