Discover Nemcice

If you are looking for a hotel in Nemcice, its historical and cultural sites, marked trails and viewpoints may help you decide whether the municipality suits your travel plans. A protected watermill, chapels and a former coaching inn add to the hiking and cycling routes. The destinations offer different highlights, so it is worth considering culture, outdoor activities and scenery when planning your trip.

Watermill and milling history

Brachtlův Watermill, house number 7, has been listed as a protected cultural monument since April 3, 2024; the Ministry of Culture confirmed its protection. It is situated on a millrace of the Zlatý pásek stream. Some of the mill's technical equipment, dating from the late 19th century to the 1940s, has been preserved. This specific building is part of a broader historical context: today, a system of eight mills runs along the stream; there used to be nine. The surviving equipment and the changing number of mills offer two different perspectives on milling history.

Chapels and distinctive buildings

Němčice is home to a chapel dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, dating from 1883. Another architectural landmark is a unique former wooden coaching inn with a shingled mansard roof. Its construction and roof form provide a different architectural accent from the watermill. Near Končiny, a pilgrimage chapel of the Virgin Mary stands beside a spring, with a Stations of the Cross next to the chapel. For a historical and cultural focus, you can consider milling technology, older building styles and religious sites separately, rather than limiting your plans to a single building.

Hiking trails and cycling route

A marked blue hiking trail passes through Němčice and leads to the hamlet of MANDLU. In the eastern part of Němčice, a marked green hiking trail runs along road III/35851 towards Přívrat. The marked cycling route 4145 is described as running from Sloupnice via Vlčkov and Němčice (Člupek) to Svinná. For planning purposes, the route details can therefore be distinguished by activity: the blue and green markings identify hiking trails, while 4145 identifies the cycling route. These descriptions offer different points of reference, depending on whether you plan to travel on foot or by bike.

Views and scenery

Kolouška Hill rises above Němčice to 394 metres and offers wide-ranging views across the Svitavy District. From Zhořský kopec, at 542 metres, the view stretches across the Litomyšlsko region to Vysoké Mýto. Zhořský kopec is therefore 148 metres higher, and the views described from each place also differ. The sources of the Němčický potok, also called Zlatý pásek, are near Člupek. The surroundings of Člupek offer walks through forests and to the Svinná valley. The landscape thus features both named viewpoints and destinations for walks.

When choosing what to focus on during your trip, you can take advantage of these differences: the watermill and other buildings offer a cultural highlight, while the trails and viewpoints draw attention to outdoor activities and scenery. If you are looking for a hotel for a trip to Nemcice, these specific themes can help you decide whether the destination matches your interests.
