Discover Ohnišov

Ohnišov combines a bowl-shaped valley setting with marked opportunities for hiking and cycling, as well as specific details about the town’s history. When planning a stay, you can therefore focus on different aspects: landscape, outdoor activities, or architectural history. The traditional Cikánské toulky and the opportunity to visit the Church of St. Cyril and Methodius by appointment also provide points of reference for timing and arrangements. If you are looking for a hotel in Ohnišov, you can first decide which of these aspects of the town matters most for your trip.

The valley landscape

Ohnišov lies in a bowl-shaped valley at the confluence of three streams. The shape of the valley and the confluence describe two aspects of the landscape: its terrain and its waterways. There are also two viewpoints within the Ohnišov area. These features can help you factor the character of the landscape into your travel plans.

Hiking and cycling

A marked hiking trail runs through Ohnišov, and a marked cycling route also passes through the town. The two routes offer different starting points for an excursion on foot or by bike. Before relying on the markings in your plans, check locally whether they are up to date. This way, you can choose a route to suit your preferred way of getting around.

Cikánské toulky in April

The traditional Cikánské toulky is a hiking event in Ohnišov that has taken place without interruption since 1975, on the last Saturday in April. Its recurring date creates a different planning rhythm from the marked routes through the town: it is tied to a specific Saturday. Participants can choose from several hiking or cycling routes in the area around Ohnišov; the routes on offer may vary from one edition to another. This means that both the area covered—through the town or its surroundings—and the specific route selection differ. If the event is central to your trip, check the date and the routes available for that edition.

Church and local history

The Church of St. Cyril and Methodius was built by local residents through their own efforts. It was consecrated on the last Sunday in October 1895. The construction and consecration date provide two specific historical reference points: a community effort and a precisely dated event. Visitors can arrange a visit by appointment; make sure to arrange this in advance.

The Masaryk School building is also part of Ohnišov’s architectural history. Built in 1934, it is one of the town’s two dominant buildings and part of the local school complex. Its year of construction establishes when it was built, while its status as one of the town’s defining buildings also describes its importance in the townscape. In Ohnišov, you will find different architectural points of reference for the town’s history.
