Discover Neuměřice: History and Cycle Route 202

Neuměřice brings together several themes to consider when choosing a place to stay: archaeological traces, the Chapel of the Virgin Mary of Svatá Hora and Saint Ludmila, its location in the valley of the Svatojiřský Stream, Cycle Route 202 and a disc golf course. When planning your trip, it is worth considering these aspects separately: the chapel and the finds offer a glimpse into the history of the village, while the stream and cycling route provide different geographical points of reference. This can help you decide which themes best suit your travel interests.

Chapel and archaeological traces

The Chapel of the Virgin Mary of Svatá Hora and Saint Ludmila was built around 1798–1800. Its later history includes two reconstructions: in 1991 and again in September 2016. In between, a new bell was consecrated in September 2007. The bell consecration was a separate occasion, distinct from the two building projects; the dates can therefore be understood as several milestones in the chapel’s history.

Archaeological finds offer a much earlier time frame: these include the remains of a prehistoric settlement with refuse pits, as well as a skeletal grave. The difference from the chapel lies in the historical perspective: here, traces of an earlier settlement sit alongside a later religious building. These different material remains add a perspective on settlement and building history to the history of the village.

Martin Bacháček’s astronomical work brought him into contact with Tadeáš Hájek z Hájku and Johannes Kepler. This connection offers a biographical perspective on the history of science alongside the archaeological and architectural traces.

Valley and Cycle Route 202

Neuměřice lies in the valley of the Svatojiřský Stream, which is about 25 kilometres long. It rises near Libušín, flows to Kralupy nad Vltavou, joins the Zákolanský Stream there, and empties into the Vltava. The figure of about 25 kilometres describes the length of the stream; for Neuměřice itself, its location in the valley is the immediate geographical point of reference.

Cycle Route 202 passes through Neuměřice and runs via Kralupy nad Vltavou, Žižice, Slaný, Královice, Neprobylice, Třebíz and Panenský Týnec to Louny. For trip planning, this differs from the stream: the stream describes the village’s valley setting, while the cycle route provides a specific route through Neuměřice and a sequence of other named places. If cycling is an important reason for your trip, this gives you a clear point of reference when choosing a destination.

Leisure activities in Neuměřice

The disc golf course in Neuměřice adds a distinct leisure option to the historical and geographical themes. The municipality describes it as suitable for children, families, athletes and seniors. This offers a different kind of activity from the cycle route: disc golf is a specific leisure facility, while the cycle route passes through the village and continues to Louny. When choosing a place to stay, you can therefore consider whether local history, a cycling route or disc golf best matches your travel interests.
