Vacation apartment in Tašov: Rocks, forests and culture

Tašov is an old Slavic foothill village with elongated development in a hollow at the southeastern foot of Kukla Mountain (674 m), in the central part of the Bohemian Central Uplands. The village may be particularly interesting for you if nature, distinctive rocks and historic buildings are among your main interests. When choosing a vacation apartment or holiday house in Tašov, it is worth aligning your excursion plans with these different areas of experience.

Rocks, forests and trails around Tašov

The Tašov area lies within the České středohoří Protected Landscape Area. Its natural assets include extensive forests and a varied landscape with a richly structured relief. The Tašovské skály are particularly striking: the rock group comprises 17 hard, locally weathered phonolite massifs. The rocks are up to 15 metres high, while most routes are between 5 and 10 metres long. Tašovské skály are also regarded as a climbing area of local importance.

There are also specific options for planning an active day. In the vicinity of Tašov, Dlouhý vrch offers a marked main viewpoint and three hiking trails. From the Tašov–Ovčárna signpost location, a marked cycle path also runs along the foot of Dlouhý vrch and then reaches the road near Myštice. This allows you to choose between a hike, a viewpoint and a bike tour when planning your day, without losing sight of the village's distinctive landscape features.

Folk architecture and the chapel

Several examples of folk architecture have been preserved in the centre of Tašov. These include partly log-built or half-timbered two-storey houses with arcades and projecting structures, boarded gables, as well as recessed arcaded passageways decorated with carvings. These preserved architectural elements give the village a vivid architectural character and complement the natural experiences with a cultural focus.

About 0.7 km southeast of Tašov, the Baroque pentagonal Chapel of Saint Mary Magdalene stands on a wooded rise along the road to Rýdeč. It was built in 1707 and is a pentagonal central building with a dome; a rectangular sacristy is located on its northern side. The chapel thus combines a clearly recognisable architectural form with a specific historical date.
