Discover Nova Ves I

When looking for hotels for a stay in Nova Ves I, the local cultural and natural attractions offer a useful starting point. The Church of Saint Wenceslas, with origins dating to around 1300, points to the history of the place. On Bedřichov Hill are a monument with a multilingual commemorative plaque and the Bedřichova vyhlídka viewpoint. Lom u Nové Vsi adds opportunities for nature observation; a cycling route, a nature trail, and an annual commemorative event appeal to other travel interests.

Church and memorial sites

The Church of Saint Wenceslas has origins dating back to around the year 1300. Together with its entire complex, it is listed in the Central List of Immovable Cultural Monuments of the Czech Republic. The listing therefore includes both the church building and the entire complex.

A new commemorative plaque was unveiled at the monument on Bedřichov Hill on 18 June 2005; it bears Czech, German, and English texts. This multilingual memorial adds a clearly dated point of reference to the area's long history. Bedřichova vyhlídka is southwest of Nova Ves I on Bedřichov Hill, 279 metres above sea level.

Lom u Nové Vsi Natural Monument

Lom u Nové Vsi Natural Monument lies one kilometre west of Nova Ves I. A significant amphibian population is found in the pond there, including Triturus vulgaris and Triturus cristatus. Amphibians are visible depending on the season. Lom also has geological and paleontological significance and serves as a refuge for endangered species and biological communities.

For orientation, note the location and the turnoff separately: 500 metres beyond the village, an unmarked field track branches off to the left from the Nová Ves I–Velim road. Field conditions can change; check the state of the track before visiting.
