Discover Nová Ves v Horách

Nová Ves v Horách brings together local history with cycling, hiking and seasonal recreational activities. The Novoveské Museum and the late Baroque Church of St. Michael the Archangel offer different perspectives on local history. There are also trails with specific route features and an educational trail with stations and information boards. When planning your trip, you can consider whether culture, a route or winter activities should be the main focus.

Cultural history in the town

The Novoveské Museum displays preserved exhibits depicting life in the town’s homes, as well as a school from an earlier time. This brings everyday life and learning into focus. The museum also has wooden toys. Local production of these began in the second half of the 18th century—a craft tradition that connects a visit to the museum with the town’s history.

Another historical landmark is the late Baroque Church of St. Michael the Archangel, with its adjoining rectory. Together, they are considered an important cultural monument in Nová Ves v Horách. The church building was rebuilt between 1780 and 1784 and consecrated on 19 September 1784. Its construction took place in the second half of the 18th century, the same period in which local production of wooden toys began. The museum and the church therefore offer different ways to explore the same era.

Educational trail and routes

The “Dvě země – jeden region” (Two Countries – One Region) educational trail has 22 stations, more than 30 information boards and over 20 play and learning features. It is rated as moderately difficult. Its difficulty rating and specific details about the stations and features can help you compare different trails by their character.

The “Cyklotrasa: Nová Ves v Horách – zámek Jezeří” (Nová Ves v Horách – Jezeří Castle cycling route) is also suitable for pedestrians. Although its name identifies it as a cycling route, its stated suitability for pedestrians also makes it relevant to travellers who want to explore on foot. Check the current route conditions before setting out.

A local cycling route is the Cyklostezka Nová Ves–Mníšek. Here, too, you should check the route conditions before setting out. From Nová Ves v Horách–Mikulovice, a red-marked paved path climbs gently to the junction of marked trails at Dřevařský Pond. The surface, ascent and destination are clearly specified; before setting out on this route, you can also check the condition of the path and its markings.

Local recreational options include well-maintained cross-country ski trails. They are a seasonal option: snow conditions and trail maintenance may vary. Factor these conditions into your plans if cross-country skiing is to be a focus of your trip.

The Přeshraniční turistická stezka Nová Ves–Deutschneudorf is a cross-border hiking trail. Check trail conditions and border regulations before setting out. The Jeřabina Lookout Tower was reconstructed and reopened to visitors on 28 June 2009. If you plan to visit the tower today, check access arrangements in advance.

Plan your journey

The municipality’s visitor information includes timetables for bus services to Nová Ves v Horách. As timetables are subject to change, it is best to check them before travelling. This will help you coordinate your journey with planned visits to the museum, the church or one of the trails.

There are two clear options to focus your trip around: the town’s cultural monuments and museum exhibits, or its various routes and recreational activities. If you are looking for a hotel, you can take your travel dates and the planned focus of your stay into account together.
