Nová Ves U Leštiny: Dýňový svět and the church

For your trip planning, Nová Ves u Leštiny combines a seasonal attraction at Statek u Pipků with church features in the village. If you are looking for a hotel for your stay, your preferred travel dates are a sensible starting point: Dýňový svět is tied to autumn, while the filial church of Saint Procopius the Abbot and an interesting relief on a church offer a different cultural theme.

Dýňový svět in autumn

The Dýňový svět event takes place every year from mid-September to early November. Exact dates may vary from year to year; check the dates for the relevant season if you want to plan your stay around it. Visitors can carve pumpkins into Halloween figures of their own design. This gives the event a clear hands-on focus. Pumpkins suitable for cooking are also available; this offer may vary depending on the harvest.

The gardens at Statek u Pipků have a nature-themed playground with attractions made of wood and straw, including a wooden maze. Children may climb onto a combine harvester under supervision. The program thus combines pumpkin carving with play activities and an explicitly supervised climbing activity. If you are traveling with children, you can consider these specific activities when deciding whether to visit.

The visit also offers the opportunity to observe sheep, goats, horses, a pony, a piglet, and rabbits at close range. The animals available may change. If observing animals is important to you, take this possibility of change into account when planning.

Church features and travel by train

The village is home to the filial church of Saint Procopius the Abbot. There is also an interesting relief on a church in Nová Ves u Leštiny. For your trip planning, the dedication of the filial church and the relief can be considered as two distinct cultural features. The dedication identifies the filial church; the relief is a single artistic feature on a church in the village. This cultural experience differs from a visit to the pumpkin event, which is available only during a limited period.

Nová Ves u Leštiny railway station is on line 230 “(Prague –) Kolín – Havlíčkův Brod”. The line designation is a specific reference point for planning your train journey, but it does not replace checking the timetable for your travel date. Check current train connections before choosing your arrival day. If you are traveling to the event, check the seasonal dates and train connections for the same day.

When deciding on your trip, distinguish between the season and the specific date: the event takes place from mid-September to early November, but the exact date varies. The animals available may also change. Plan your visit according to the specific seasonal information.
