Jeviněves: Trails, Wine and History

Jeviněves offers three clearly distinct themes to consider when planning a trip: traces of historic fortifications, trails with their own character, and a guided wine tasting. Jevín and the old well are closely connected to the Dvořákova Trail; another red-marked route passes through Jeviněves. If you are looking for a hotel for a stay in Jeviněves, these details can help you decide whether culture, hiking or wine should shape your travel plans.

Castles and traces of fortifications

On the Jevín promontory above Jeviněves, remnants of the walls of a former castle and later fortress have been preserved. Jevín therefore highlights two successive uses of the hill. Hrádek illustrates a different form of fortification: the site includes a transverse ditch and a short, high rampart. Medieval masonry and pottery have been found in the southern rampart. The difference is revealing when considering the history of the area: the remains of the walls are the defining feature of Jevín, while at Hrádek it is the form of the fortification and the archaeological finds.

Hiking trails with different points of interest

The Dvořákova Trail follows the historic Prague–Dresden trade route. In Jeviněves, it runs below Jevín and passes the old well. Its description combines the historic route with a specific stop in the village.

A second, distinct red-marked hiking trail passes through Jeviněves. It runs from Roudnice nad Labem over the summit of Říp to Mlčechvost and Kralupy. When comparing the trails, you have different points of reference: the Dvořákova Trail follows the historic trade route and passes the well; you can identify the red-marked trail by its markings, the summit and the places named. This makes it easy to distinguish between the two different route options.

The well below Jevín

The well below Jevín was built around 1900 and is fed by a spring at the foot of the hill. The municipality maintains it, and it continues to serve local residents. Its construction date and function offer two perspectives on the well: it is a structure built around 1900 and a facility that still serves local residents today. If you plan to visit it specifically, check the current situation before your visit.

Planning a wine tasting

Jeviněvské vinařství offers guided wine tastings for groups of one to 30 people. Possible venues include the cellar, the bottling room, the outdoor terrace, Kozí chlívek or Maštal. If you are planning a group visit, check whether your party falls within this range and arrange the details before travelling. You can also confirm your preferred tasting venue when making arrangements.
