Všemina: Hiking, History and Regional Discoveries

Všemina combines marked hiking trails with traces of history, a reservoir, and regional traditions. The Všeminský trojlístek hiking network has 14 seats for hikers; its marked trails lead to points of interest and viewpoints around Všemina. This makes the village a suitable starting point for a trip in which you can combine nature, history, and unique local experiences.

Hiking Trails with Notable Destinations

The Red Clover Trail is Všemina’s most important and longest circular hiking trail. It passes the St. Hubertus Monument, which stands at the highest point on the edge of a meadow. Those taking the trail from Hranice reach the monument via a red-marked trail; the walking time is approximately 30 to 40 minutes. This time indication should be understood as a rough guide and can be taken into account when planning your day.

An alternative route to the St. Hubertus Monument leads past the hotel along the yellow-marked trail to the chapel on Papradná and then onto a red-marked trail. This allows you to include different marked trails in your plans, depending on the route you prefer. For families with different interests, it may be worthwhile to plan the day not only according to the length of a route but also according to the destinations that can be reached along the way.

Church, Castle Site, and Monuments

The cultural side of Všemina includes the parish Church of St. John of Nepomuk. It was built between 1780 and 1784 as a simple Baroque structure made of rubble stone and bricks. The church’s new organ was completed in 2010 and ceremonially blessed on March 5, 2011. Those interested in religious architecture and local history will find a specific historical connection here, without having to limit their stay to a purely hiking trip.

Hrádek is a former castle site between Všemina and Dešná. Archaeological investigations confirmed the presence of a Púchov culture settlement and traces of a palisade fortification there. The Železov Monument offers a different point of interest: it consists of two steel plates, each 2.4 meters high. Its defining feature is a cross of St. John of Nepomuk oriented toward the church in Všemina. These diverse sites make trip planning more varied, as historical themes and visible monuments each offer their own destinations to visit.

Reservoir, Horses, and Regional Experiences

The Všemina Reservoir is a multipurpose water reservoir used, among other things, for individual recreation and fish farming. Swimming and water sports at the reservoir are undertaken at your own risk. If you would like to plan time by the water in addition to hiking, you should take this information into account when organizing your day.

Ranch Všemina offers horseback rides and excursions into nature accompanied by an experienced instructor. A day at the ranch may include caring for and training horses; weekend courses focused on riding training are also offered. This provides another opportunity to give your trip a different theme than that of a classic hiking tour.

Taste and Tradition in Všemina

At Všeminský kotlík 2025, the prepared goulash dishes were judged both by a professional jury and through a public vote. In 2025, the competition was the second edition of a wild game goulash cooking contest and formed part of the municipality’s program marking the end of the holidays. The event should be regarded as a past example of regional food culture. The traditional, now practically forgotten craft of Všemina also included the production of “čagany”.

A traditional New Year’s Eve hiking trip to Kámen na Kršlu serves as a farewell to the past year.
