Discover Vanůvek

Vanůvek combines traces of local culture with clearly identified route connections. A tall stone wayside shrine stands in the southern part of the village; the Roštejn Route runs from Telč via Vanůvek to Řídelov, while Cycle Route No. 16 passes through the cadastral area. The landscape of the Jihlavské vrchy around Vanůvek is suitable for cycle tourism. This gives you various starting points for planning your trip: architectural forms, local landmarks and route information appeal to different interests.

Wayside shrine and traces of local culture

A tall stone wayside shrine stands in the southern part of Vanůvek. Its base features diamond-point rustication, a strikingly faceted treatment of the stone surface. Above it rises a slender stone column with a square, prominent capital. The shrine also includes a chapel with a pronounced concave roof. The term “diamond-point rustication” refers to the geometrically faceted design of the base. Together with the column, capital and roof, the structure can be understood as a sequence of distinct forms: from the worked base through the slender vertical element to the concave finish. For travelers interested in architectural details, the wayside shrine offers a specific point of interest.

A cross is also one of the local sights and stands by the road toward Vanov. The two landmarks can be distinguished by their locations: the wayside shrine is in the southern part of Vanůvek, while the cross is located along the road toward Vanov. Ateliér Živá fantazie, a ceramics workshop in Vanůvek, adds another cultural dimension. This brings a craft theme and a distinct connection to ceramics alongside the local landmarks and architectural forms.

Routes and landscape

The Roštejn Route runs from Telč via Vanůvek to Řídelov and is 47 km long in total. The sequence of named places and the total distance give you two specific reference points for understanding the route. As route details may change over time, check the latest information before making specific plans. This will help you take the route and distance into account when planning your trip.

Cycle Route No. 16 runs from Slavonice to Přibyslav Hlinsko and passes through the cadastral area of Vanůvek. Its geographical reference differs from that of the Roštejn Route: the cycle route is identified by its endpoints and the cadastral area, while the Roštejn Route names Vanůvek as a stop between Telč and Řídelov. The landscape of the Jihlavské vrchy around Vanůvek is also suitable for cycle tourism. This places specific information about a cycle route alongside a general description of the landscape that may interest cycling travelers.

Getting there by scheduled bus

Vanůvek has scheduled bus service, with a stop in the built-up area of the village. This gives you a specific point of reference for arriving in the village. Check the current timetable before traveling so you can plan your connection accordingly. The bus stop and route connections offer different points of reference for planning your trip: the arrival point in the built-up area on the one hand, and the named routes or cycling region on the other.
