Discover Kuřimská Nová Ves

Kuřimská Nová Ves combines a distinctive landmark with nature and sports. The Church of Saint Anthony of Padua defines the village; the Pláně natural monument and the recurring Antonínský Kros are also part of its character. Two old memorial lime trees and far-reaching views in good visibility complete the picture. If you are looking for a hotel, you can first consider whether local history, nature or an event is the main reason for your trip.

Church and local history

The Church of Saint Anthony of Padua is the defining landmark of Kuřimská Nová Ves. It dates from 1937. A cemetery adjoins the church, and two memorial lime trees, about 300 years old, also stand there. Alongside the building, the cemetery and trees therefore offer tangible points of reference for the village’s history.

The dates emphasize different things: a year of construction is recorded for the church, while the age of the lime trees is only approximate. This contrast brings together a 20th-century building and trees estimated to be about three centuries old. Those interested in the village’s character will find a clear focus here, bringing the church, cemetery and memorial lime trees together.

Pláně and nature

The Pláně natural monument lies within the cadastral area of Kuřimská Nová Ves and is classified as IUCN Category IV—a habitat and species management area. It is home to protected and endangered plant and animal species, almost all typical meadow species, and numerous junipers. The description therefore encompasses both the diversity of meadow species and rare or endangered plants and animals.

In good visibility, views extend across the wider surroundings. Together with Pláně, these views offer a different focus from the local history surrounding the church: here, the landscape and nature take centre stage. When planning your trip, you can choose between the cultural interest in the village and its natural attractions without treating the two as interchangeable.

Antonínský Kros and summer events

Antonínský Kros is a recurring cross-country race. The tenth edition took place on Saturday, 13 June 2026, at the sports complex in the municipality of Kuřimská Nová Ves. The main course runs along forest and field roads or trails and has an elevation difference of 117 m. The terrain and elevation difference are two concrete details that help convey the nature of the course.

The sports complex is also part of the municipality’s events programme: various cultural events take place there in summer. The cross-country race is described as a recurring event, while summer is specified for the cultural events. If you would like to plan your trip around an event, check the specific date relevant to your stay in advance.

Plan your stay to suit you

You can prioritize these themes according to your travel interests: the church, adjoining cemetery and memorial lime trees represent the historical focus; Pláně and its plant and animal life offer a connection with nature; and the cross-country race and summer events bring the sports complex into focus. If you are looking for a hotel in Kuřimská Nová Ves, this distinction can help you clarify the purpose of your stay. In good visibility, you can also enjoy views across the wider surroundings.
