Nová Ves: History, Nature and Local Events

Nová Ves offers several points to consider when choosing a place to stay: its first written mention in 1347, a chapel with a bell tower, two recurring annual events, and a sports field on the edge of the village. There are also connections to the nature park and a forest cross associated with hiking and cycling. If you are looking for hotels in Nová Ves, you can weigh up whether local history, a particular month, or nature and activity-related interests are most important for your trip.

History spanning different periods

The first written mention of Nová Ves dates from 1347. The chapel with its bell tower is dated to approximately the 18th century; a memorial to local victims of the First World War stands near the chapel. It is important to distinguish the dates: 1347 marks the first written mention, while the chapel is dated only approximately. The chapel and the memorial offer different cultural points of interest: a building with an approximate date and a tribute to local victims.

Sports field available by prior arrangement

The asphalt multi-purpose sports field “Víceúčelové hřiště” is located on the edge of Nová Ves. The field is enclosed and can be used by prior arrangement. Keys and sports equipment can be borrowed from the municipal office. If you plan to use the facility, arrange it in advance and check how to borrow the equipment. The asphalt surface and multi-purpose function describe what is available; prior arrangement is the practical step required for use.

Annual events in June and December

The dětský den (Children’s Day) takes place every year in June. In December, the Mikulášská nadílka (St. Nicholas celebration) for children is held annually. The two events take place at different times of the year: one in June, the other in December.

Nature park boundary and stream

The boundary of the Přírodní park Džbán Nature Park runs through Nová Ves. An unnamed stream also flows through the village and is a right-bank tributary of the Smolnický potok river. These two details describe different geographical relationships: one concerns a park boundary, while the other describes the course of a waterway and its classification as a tributary. Together, they provide a specific natural connection to the village’s location.

Forest cross associated with hiking and cycling

The context “Pytlácká pomsta” refers to a wooden cross in the forest near Nová Ves and is associated with hiking and cycling. The cross is therefore a specific point of interest for both activities. Its location in the forest distinguishes it from the nature park boundary and stream that run through the village. If hiking or cycling is of interest to you, you can take this into account alongside the geographical features when choosing your destination.

What affects your plans

The different features of the village do not all require the same planning: for events, the specific date matters; for the sports field, prior arrangement is needed. History and natural features, by contrast, help you understand what Nová Ves has to offer.
