Discover Kublov

Kublov lies in the Křivoklátsko Protected Landscape Area. Two specific highlights can help you choose a destination: hiking trails associated with Velíz and cultural sites, including a protected heritage zone. The trail descriptions differ: one educational trail is described by its length and elevation gain, while another is described by its hillside route and views. There is also a birthplace with a clear architectural classification, as well as a monument that can be visited by prior arrangement.

Hiking trails with different highlights

The “Po stopách J. L. Zvonaře” educational trail is marked in red, is four kilometres long, and has an elevation gain of 164 metres. It leads to 595-metre-high Velíz. This gives you specific details on the route length, elevation gain, and destination—useful facts for planning a hike.

The “Lesní panorama Velíz” educational trail offers a different experience. It follows the slope of the distinctive hill and offers views of the Brdy and the Křivoklátská Highlands. Unlike the specific route details for the other educational trail, the focus here is on the hillside route and the named vistas. This gives you two different points of reference when choosing: measurable trail details or views of particular landscapes.

For a route through the village, the “Zelená stezka – přes hřebeny” is worth considering: it passes through Kublov and includes a marked turnoff to Velíz. This describes a route through the village, while the two educational trails offer different highlights in their details about the route, destination, or views.

Cultural heritage and folk architecture

On Velíz above Kublov is the protected heritage zone, with the Church of St John the Baptist and a monastery fragment with a monastic site. The zone comprises the church, the rectory, the mortuary, an outbuilding, the perimeter wall, the medieval monastery fragment, and the monastic site. The protected site thus includes several features; the focus is on the ensemble, not just one building.

Zvonařova roubenka, the birthplace of J. L. Zvonař, offers a different perspective on architectural history. It is a typical example of Central Bohemian folk architecture from the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. Unlike the heritage zone on Velíz, it is a single birthplace whose classification brings together biography and regional building style. The J. L. Zvonař monument can be visited by prior arrangement. Confirm the appointment with the municipality before your arrival.

A dated cultural event

The Staročeské máje festival returned to Kublov in 2026 after a four-year break. The programme included a Czech and a Moravian Beseda. If you would like to include a possible future edition in your travel plans, check the event date before booking.
