Landscape and Nature
Všenice is situated on a gently northward-sloping hillside above the floodplain of the Korečnický Stream. The Korečnický Stream is a right-bank tributary of the Berounka. To the north, the built-up area merges into the natural areas of the Korečnický Stream floodplain; this floodplain forms the natural landscape setting of Všenice.
Všenice lies in the Berounka Nature Park. The nature park protects the preserved landscape character of the deeply incised Berounka Valley and its tributaries, rock outcrops, adjacent forest complexes and agricultural landscapes, as well as cultural landscape landmarks and historically valuable settlement architecture.
Všenice is a suitable starting point for hiking routes along the Korečnický Stream to the Berounka.
Všenice railway station is located on railway line 176, Plzeň–Radnice.
Culture and History
Pyrite shale was mined in V Potocích until 1880. The foundations of the former Berk excursion inn are still visible beside the stream. The tunnels of the former mine extended beneath Lavičky and Kašákův lesík; today, they have been filled in.
On 16 August 2015, the chapel in Všenice was reconsecrated and dedicated to Saint Francis of Assisi. During this reconsecration, the chapel was given back its bell, which had been donated by Jiří Šimek.
The park areas on the village square in Všenice, with a memorial to citizens who fell in the world war, are considered locally significant assets. Other locally significant assets of Všenice include individual examples of rural architecture, as well as historically valuable features of a blacksmith’s workshop dating from the 15th century.
