Vincencov between Haná and the Drahanská vrchovina

Vincencov lies at the transition between Haná and the Drahanská vrchovina. This location connects two landscape regions and gives the village a geographical setting. Fields, pastures and forests shape the horizon; the surrounding agricultural land is also part of the landscape. The Chapel of St. Florian is another local landmark, one of particular significance to Vincencov.

The Chapel of St. Florian and local remembrance

The Chapel of St. Florian is a local landmark and an important symbol of Vincencov. A memorial plaque to the victims of the First World War is located at the chapel. Two specific themes thus come together at this site: the chapel as an important symbol of the community and remembrance of the war victims. If you are interested in local landmarks and remembrance, this connection offers a clear cultural point of reference. You can view the chapel and the memorial plaque as related, but distinct, aspects of the place.

Landscape between Haná and the Drahanská vrchovina

The area around Vincencov is shaped by agriculture and includes fields, copses and forests. Fields, pastures and forests also define the village’s horizon. The landscape therefore includes both cultivated land and wooded areas. The Předina region offers a broader regional perspective: it encompasses agricultural land, waterways and ponds, meadows and forests, as well as the flat Haná and the first hills of the Drahanská vrchovina. The landscape names can therefore be understood at two different scales: Vincencov lies at the transition between Haná and the Drahanská vrchovina, while the information about Předina describes the landscape of the region.

Water features are also mentioned. A tourism profile, last updated in 2006, names the Kelčický potok, which flows through Vincencov, and the small pond Rybníček along its course. Rybníček is the name of the pond; the Kelčický potok is the waterway. An older village profile also mentions a view from Vincencov over Haná and lists Sv. Kopeček and Sv. Hostýn as prominent points. If this view is important to your plans, check conditions on site.

Compare cycling routes by length

The Předinou za poznáním nature trail includes two marked cycling routes: one 45 kilometres long and one 21 kilometres long. There is a 24-kilometre difference between the stated lengths. The shorter route is therefore a specific alternative if you want to compare the lengths of the two routes. The figures give you a direct comparison of route distances for planning your trip; they do not determine which route is right for you.

The route page was last updated on 8 April 2009. Before setting out, therefore, check the current signage and facilities rather than relying on this information. Together with the landscape and the named local features, this provides a varied picture of Vincencov: the chapel adds a cultural accent, while the geographical location and different route lengths offer further points of reference for planning your trip.
