Discover Nyklovice

Several themes come together in Nyklovice for a stay: a hiking route through the village, early local history, two chapels, and an area within the Svratecká hornatina Nature Park. Hiking, architecture, and landscape offer different possible focuses for a trip to Nyklovice.

Hiking the route through Nyklovice

The Vír–Chlum–Nyklovice–Hlásnice–Svojanov hiking route passes through Nyklovice; most of it follows walking and field paths. This gives you two separate points to consider when planning: the route’s connection to the village and the type of paths that predominate. The route answers whether Nyklovice is part of its course; the information about walking and field paths describes the largest share of the route. If hiking is a focus of your trip, you can take both details into account. The route offers a different focus from the chapels and the village’s historical development.

Local history and early references

Nyklovice was first mentioned in 1335 under the name Mikulášovice (Mikulovice). The village was also donated to Doubravník Monastery by Jeruši, daughter of Jimram of Aušperk. These two references raise different questions about local history: the first mention records the name used at the time, while the donation identifies a person, her family connection, and the monastery that received it. These early historical references differ from the later construction dates of the two chapels; they add names, people, and an institutional relationship to the picture of Nyklovice.

Two chapels, two construction dates

The Chapel of St. John of Nepomuk was built in 1864 on the village square in Nyklovice and is listed as a cultural monument. The Chapel of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross was built in Nyklovice in 1934 and is considered a feature of the village’s architectural identity. The construction dates are 70 years apart. The details given for the two chapels also differ: the first is associated with the village square and its protected status; the second with the year 1934 and the village’s architectural identity. If you are interested in local history and architecture, these dates and connections provide a specific cultural and historical focus.

Nature park and café

The southern part of the Nyklovice municipal area, south of road II/375, lies within the Svratecká hornatina Nature Park and covers approximately 217.13 hectares. This describes a geographically limited area and an approximate size; it refers to the southern section of the municipality. This differs from the hiking route: the route passes through Nyklovice, while the nature park designation applies to the southern part of the municipal area. When planning your trip, you can therefore distinguish the route from the landscape designation.

Tři lipky Nyklovice café serves coffee and tea. If you plan to visit, check in advance whether these are currently available, as availability may change.
