Čermná in the Krkonoše Mountains: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Čermná stretches along both sides of the valley of the Červený potok at an average elevation of 450 metres. The village combines a long history with remarkable examples of traditional architecture and a cycle route that passes directly through Čermná.

Landscape

The surroundings of Čermná are suitable for excursions in both winter and summer. Cycle route 4300 runs through the village; Čermná is located at kilometre 6.00. The route is classified as moderate to difficult and runs over asphalt, gravel and paved surfaces.

Culture and History

Čermná was established in the 13th century before the beginning of German colonisation. The first written record dates from 1362. At that time, the first known owner of the municipality, Tyček of Ivanovice, farmed here.

The history of the Church of St Wenceslas also goes back a long way: the original church in Čermná was built in 1384. The present Church of St Wenceslas was completed in 1915 after the former church had been demolished in 1913. The local church was also the source of a Gothic Madonna and Child discovered by chance, dating from the late 14th or early 15th century.

Numerous traditional log houses have been preserved in Čermná. Two groups south of the stream are considered particularly noteworthy.

Cycle Route

The Komenského cesta path connects to cycle route 4300 and leads through Čermná to Vlčice. Thus, within the village area, a route running through Čermná, the section at kilometre 6.00, various road surfaces and the route’s moderate-to-difficult classification all come together.

Events

Local events held in the church include an Advent concert and other events. Local traditions in Čermná also include the “Memoriál Františka Štočka” firefighters’ competition. The annual Čermská pouť, featuring a full-day programme for children and adults, was scheduled to take place in Čermná on 9 July 2022.
