Rohle: Cultural Monuments and Cycling Routes

Rohle lies in a basin landscape surrounded by wooded hills. The Rohelnice stream forms the axis of the basin. Cultural monuments in the village, two cycling routes passing through Rohle, and the Rohle Reservoir in Rohle’s cadastral area are different points of reference for planning a trip.

Cultural Monuments in the Village

The Church of St. Martin in Rohle is Neoclassical and dates from 1802–1803; it is also classified as Empire style. In a niche beside the church is the sculpture of an angel, a work in dark sandstone from the late 19th century. The church and sculpture are closely situated, but differ considerably in the periods in which they were created.

Other sculptural works include the Calvary Sculpture Group, a cultural monument dating from 1808. The Statue of St. Florian is also a cultural monument; it is made of Maletín sandstone and dates from the first third of the 19th century. The Column of the Holy Trinity is an immovable cultural monument made of Maletín sandstone, dating from 1835. The Statue of St. John of Nepomuk dates from 1833. The dates 1833 and 1835 are close together, while the Calvary Sculpture Group dates back to 1808.

The Merchant’s House adds an architectural monument to the sculptural works. This protected folk building dates from the first half of the 19th century; its long veranda is supported by sandstone columns. While the type of stone and period of creation are the main features of the sculptural works, the veranda and its columns define the architectural character of the Merchant’s House.

The Statue of St. Roch stands at the Rohle cemetery; its restoration was funded by a collection. House No. 65 was added to the list of cultural monuments of the Czech Republic in 1999; its listing number is ÚSKPČR 49759/9-51. For this house, the year 1999 marks its inclusion on the heritage list.

The village’s history can also be placed in context: Rohle is mentioned in surviving sources from 1356 onward; the earliest references date to around 1290. These two dates distinguish earlier references from the surviving mentions.

Cycling Routes Through Rohle

Two cycling routes pass through Rohle. Cycle Route 6114 connects Nedvězí with Šumperk. Cycle Route 6232 runs from Rohelská bouda to Zábřeh. Both routes pass through Rohle, but have different endpoints.

This gives you a concrete point of comparison for planning your trip: Route 6114 connects Nedvězí and Šumperk, while Route 6232 runs from Rohelská bouda to Zábřeh. You can compare the two numbered cycling routes by their stated connections before shaping the rest of your plans around them.

Landscape and the Rohle Reservoir

Another point of interest is the Rohle Reservoir. It is located in Rohle’s cadastral area and is considered an attractive place for tourists. It is occasionally used for recreation and fishing. This adds a different focus to the cultural monuments: occasional recreation and fishing. If you plan to take part in either activity, check the conditions locally.

The different themes can thus be clearly distinguished: the architectural and sculptural works offer a way to explore the village’s history, the cycling routes differ in their endpoints, and occasional recreation and fishing are associated with the reservoir. Together with the basin landscape and the Rohelnice, they create a picture of the village that brings together cultural history, cycling connections, and landscape.
