Schömitz: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
The landscape around Schömitz takes on unusual forms at the Šemnická skála phonolite hill. The Ohře, the freely accessible cavities of Skalky skřítků and the remains of a stone chapel are also among the tangible facets of the place.
Nature and Water
Šemnická skála is a phonolite hill with unusually shaped rocks and other geomorphological features. Climbing is prohibited throughout the Šemnická skála natural monument.
In the bed of the Ohře below Karlovy Vary, quartzite and granite blocks form the “Kamenné stádo”. In the rapids between Muzikov and Dubina, large potholes are particularly well developed; swirling water has worn them into the quartzite and granite blocks.
Skalky skřítků comprises pseudokarst cavities formed in volcanic breccia. The area belongs to the municipality of Šemnice and is freely accessible.
Cycling Route and Paddling
Šemnice is a suitable starting point for paddlers travelling in groups by boat on the Ohře.
The local cycling route 2249 is classified as moderately difficult and leads through Dubina, Šemnice u Mostu and Pulovice.
History and Townscape
The stone chapel of Šemnice was built in 1826 at a crossroads on the western edge of Šemnice.
Today, only the foundation-wall remains of the surrounding masonry of the stone chapel of Šemnice survive; they are completely overgrown with dense vegetation.
