Kamenná: Educational Trail, Culture and Landscape

Kamenná represents a combination of landscape, paths and culture. The approximately six-kilometre-long Krajinou humanity educational trail leads through the countryside around Chvalkov, Kamenná, Kondrač and Slavče and passes through varied terrain. For your own planning, this route can be considered a separate focus alongside cultural and scenic points.

Nature and Paths

At 682 metres, Kondračská hora is one of the viewpoints along the Krajinou humanity educational trail. In favourable weather conditions, the České Budějovice Basin, the Třeboň Basin and the Novohrad Mountains can be seen from a viewpoint on Kondračská hora.

Two KČT routes run along road III/1546: Route 1128 leads from Chvalkov to Kamenná, while Route 1191 leads from Kamenná to Rychnov u Nových Hradů. The different types of paths can be categorised according to the form of movement, the landscape theme and the connections named in each case. This allows you to distinguish between a themed route, a viewpoint and the two routes when planning your day.

The differences therefore lie not only in the names of the paths, but also in their form: the educational trail is described as a themed connection between several places, while the KČT information names two connections between places, each with its own direction. This allows you to choose your route according to your preferred focus and the stated direction of travel.

Culture and History

The Church of the Holy Trinity (kostel Nejsvětější Trojice) stands in the settlement of Kondrač, which belongs to the municipality of Kamenná. It is considered an important cultural monument; most of its furnishings are Neo-Gothic and date from 1866–1868.

The Krajinou humanity educational trail presents seven important humanists from around the world on seven information panels. In the vicinity of Kamenná, on the eastern side of Kamenská hora, stands the Zaječí pramen Chapel, built in the South Bohemian folk Baroque style.

In the vicinity of Kamenná, the path to the Zaječí pramen Chapel leads from Žumberk; it branches off from the blue-marked path before Kamenná. During the carnival season, the Staročeská koleda is held regularly in Kamenná. Cultural stops, landscape views and the route can be weighted separately for your own planning, without prescribing a fixed order.

Other Places

Other places you can discover from this location page include Dubiken, Jivno, Kolodeje Nad Luznici, Závraty, Rimov, Vitín, Gutwasser and Chraschtian.

When comparing a holiday apartment in Kamenná, you can consider travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions as different details of the respective offer side by side. This keeps the accommodation question separate from the location facts described, while allowing you to distinguish between the educational trail, views, cultural monuments, local history and the weekday bus connection when planning.

History and Transport Connections

The settlement of Kamenná was a typical old German settlement with two rows of farmsteads along a road approximately 600 metres long.

On weekdays, a bus service with 14 departures connects Kamenná with Trhové Sviny and Rychnov u Nových Hradů.
