Discover Tlumačov: Church, Chapel and Landscape

Tlumačov is located in the Český les - Domažlice Nature Park. In the village, the parish church of Saint Martin and the chapel at the northwestern edge of the village square provide architectural landmarks. Nearby is Kubíčkova skála, also known as Velká skála. This lets you distinguish between architectural history in the village and a landscape attraction beyond it when planning your visit.

Parish Church of Saint Martin

The parish church of Saint Martin is an important cultural monument. Its surviving structural features and details provide valuable evidence of medieval and modern-era architecture. Its oldest known form dates from the period after 1289. This date refers to the oldest known form and is not a single construction date for the entire building. For travelers interested in religious architecture, this brings together an early historical point of reference and evidence from several periods.

Chapel by the Village Square

The chapel at the northwestern edge of the village square is a hexagonal building with a pyramidal roof and a small, sheet-metal-clad bell tower. It is an example of a village chapel from the early 19th century. Hexagonal refers to a floor plan with six sides; pyramidal describes a roof shape that tapers toward the top. The two buildings also differ in age: the oldest known form of the parish church dates from the period after 1289, while the chapel is classified as an example from the early 19th century. A small bell tower is a small, tower-like structure that houses a bell.

Kubíčkova skála and the Viewpoint

Kubíčkova skála, also known as Velká skála, is a hill 513 meters high, northwest of the Chod village of Tlumačov. It lies about one kilometer from Tlumačov. The figures describe different things: 513 meters is the hill’s elevation, while approximately one kilometer is its distance from the village. A viewing platform was built on the summit in 2012, when it was freely accessible. From the platform, the view extends over the Kdyňská pahorkatina with the peaks of Koráb and Rýzmberk, the Bohemian Forest in the Nýrsko area, and the Czech-Bavarian border ridge. The panorama thus brings together uplands with named peaks, the Bohemian Forest and the border ridge. If you plan to visit the hill, check the platform’s current access arrangements before your visit.
