Discover Telnice U Brna

Telnice U Brna combines local cultural history with several clearly named cycling routes. When planning your trip, it is worth keeping these topics distinct: the church, monuments, and historic educational trail offer insights into different aspects of the town’s history, while the cycling routes lead in different directions and connect to other routes. There is also a range of sports at the Orlovna and a traditional festival held in June. You can therefore tailor your stay to the topics that interest you locally.

Church and local history

The parish church in Telnice is dedicated to Saint John the Baptist. Only the Romanesque tower of the original church has survived to this day. Thus, the dedication of the parish church and a surviving part of the older church building stand side by side. If you are interested in architecture, this distinction offers a specific point of reference: the tower points to the original building, while the dedication names the saint to whom the parish church is dedicated.

Local religious art also includes the Baroque statue of Saint John of Nepomuk, dating from 1740. This precise date marks a different historical point of reference from the Romanesque tower. A triangular chapel at the end of V Dědině and Růžová streets was probably built on a mass grave of fighters. The chapel is therefore another, different kind of memorial site; its connection with the mass grave is probable.

The Historic Educational Trail

The Historic Educational Trail in Telnice presents life in Telnice and Cífer at the beginning of the 19th century. Its nine stops have information boards, and the start and finish are at Masaryk Square. The route is about two kilometres long. Its subject, sequence of stops, and circular route make it a distinct activity and give your visit a specific historical focus. If you plan to take the trail, check the route information before your trip, as details may change.

Cycling routes and activities

There are several different options for cycling in Telnice. Cycling Route No. 5063 runs from the church to the crossroads near Sokolnice. The Brno Cycling Route passes directly through Telnice and connects to the trail to Mohyla Míru. From Telnice, you can also follow Cycling Route No. 473 towards Újezd u Brna. The cycling routes in Telnice are part of the Moravské vinařské stezky. When choosing a route, you can therefore use the stated direction or the relevant connection point as a guide.

Orlovna Telnice offers spinning, bowling, tennis, ricochet, power yoga, and a fitness studio. It is also open to non-members of Orel. Activities and access options may change, so check the current conditions before visiting. The listed activities cover different forms of exercise and complement the route options with another way to stay active in town.

Festival and nature

The traditional Telnické hody festival takes place in June. If you would like to combine your trip with the festival, check the specific event dates in advance.

Another point of interest is the Písky natural monument near Telnice. Sand-loving flora grows in the floodplain of the Litava stream. Alongside local history and cycling routes, the nearby natural monument and the distinctive plant life in its floodplain offer separate topics to explore.
