Voitersreuth: Cycling Routes, Nature and Village History

If you are looking for a hotel in Voitersreuth, you can first consider the place in terms of the topics that interest you: cycling connections, the layout of the farmsteads, protected nature and local history each offer a different perspective. These features make Voitersreuth (Vojtanov) a destination worth exploring.

Cycling Routes and Connections

Local cycling route 2065 starts at a junction in the centre of Vojtanov, where it connects to cycling route 36. It runs from Vojtanov via Hazlov to Polná. The route is 9 km long, or 14 km with detours. The two distances therefore refer to the route without and with detours, respectively.

A regional route description, last updated in 2008, states that National Cycling Route 23 connects to local route 2065 on the outskirts of Vojtanov and passes through the town at kilometre 17. For orientation, these details should be distinguished from the connection to cycling route 36, which is at a junction in the centre. At its connection to route 2065, cycling route 36 links Český les with Krušné hory. The local route, the national connection and the link between the two named regions should therefore be considered separately.

Nature and Settlement Pattern

The U Sedmi rybníků Nature Reserve is located in Vojtanov. Alongside the routes, nature is another feature of the place; its other distinctive characteristics range from groups of farmsteads to railway history.

The farmsteads in Vojtanov are arranged in groups, and there is no central village square. Historically, the village never had a church, rectory or cemetery either. Its residents belonged to the parish in Horní Lomany. The grouped farmsteads describe the settlement pattern, while the parish identifies its historical religious affiliation.

Cultural Monuments and Local History

Rural property No. 12 is a protected cultural monument dating from around the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. Rural property No. 14 in Vojtanov was also declared a cultural monument, in 1992/93. The dates refer to different aspects: for No. 12, they indicate the property's historical period; for No. 14, the year it was declared a cultural monument.

The historical landscape also includes a mill on the Vonšovský potok: a mill called “Die Dorfmuhle” once stood there in Vojtanov.

The Vojtanov město stop is on the Cheb–Vojtanov–Aš railway line. Historically, the railway connection between Cheb and the German town of Reichenbach contributed to the development of Vojtanov and to the construction of the Nádražní čtvrť district east of the original Vojtanov. The railway connection is therefore relevant both to the location of the named stop on a line and to part of the town's development. Nádražní čtvrť developed east of the original Vojtanov and is part of the history of this development.
