Velký Beranov: Chapel and Cycling Route
Accommodation in Velký Beranov
Velký Beranov offers two distinct points of interest: the chapel dedicated to Saint Anne, with a wooden bell tower beside it, and the Jihlava–Třebíč–Raabs cycling route, which passes through the town. History, community life and active routes therefore provide themes around which you can shape your stay.

Chapel and Cultural Life
The Chapel of Saint Anne was built in 1837. On April 16, 2025, a wooden bell tower was erected beside it. The two dates mark different periods: the chapel’s year of construction places it in the 19th century, while the precise date marks the newer tower. The combination of a historic religious building with a more recent feature thus offers a tangible point of interest for anyone who enjoys discovering individual cultural sites and their history while travelling. Its dedication to Saint Anne gives this connection a specific name.
The cultural centre, with its dance hall, offers residents opportunities to take part in cultural activities. Alongside the historic religious building, it points to a communal aspect of cultural life in Velký Beranov.
The Beranov Pilgrimage in Historical Perspective
Another glimpse of community life takes us back to 2013. A community newsletter from the third quarter described the sports and children’s day during the Beranov pilgrimage as an event organised annually by TJ. That year, the day took place on Saturday, July 27. The example links the Beranov pilgrimage, as described at the time, with sports and a children’s day. If you would like to plan your stay around an event, check its current dates.
The dates serve different purposes: 1837 is the year the chapel was built, April 16, 2025 is the date the tower was erected, and July 27 is the date of the event in the reported year of 2013.
Cycling Route Through Velký Beranov
For active days out, the Jihlava–Třebíč–Raabs cycling route is a specific point of interest: it passes through Velký Beranov. About one third of the route is developed as a cycle path; most of these sections can also be used by inline skaters. The route as a whole runs mostly away from main roads, usually along country and forest tracks or traffic-calmed roads. These are two distinct planning considerations: the proportion of cycle path describes how the route is developed, while the information about country and forest tracks and traffic-calmed roads characterises the route in general. When choosing between cycling and inline skating, bear in mind that the skating information applies to most developed cycle-path sections, not to the entire route as a rule. Check current route conditions before setting out on a cycling trip.
Getting Around and Choosing Accommodation
When looking for a holiday apartment, your planned transport can also be a consideration. Think about whether you would like to include the town’s cultural attractions, a cycling trip or public transport in your daily plans. Jihlava urban bus line 12 serves Velký Beranov; check the current timetable before travelling by bus.
