Discover Chomle

When choosing a hotel in Chomle, your decision may depend on which aspects of the town interest you: the history of coal mining, a walking trail, or church architecture. The time periods range from the area’s mining history to a specific year of operation; as for the buildings, the focus is on both the overall design of a church and a distinctive detail inside it.

Mining History in Chomle

The Chomle stop is on the Za přírodou a historií Radnicka educational trail. A panel featuring photographs of miners provides information about coal mining in the Chomle and Vejvanov area. The period shown runs from 1545 to 1980 and spans more than 400 years. This places the region’s mining history in a long-term perspective; the panel links the dates to specific locations and photographs of miners.

In 1947, the Ferdinand Mine in Chomle was operating and produced 2,000 tonnes of coal per month. This monthly figure complements the panel’s long historical period with a snapshot of the mine in operation. The mine was beyond Chomle, in the direction of Vejvanov. The information provides different temporal and geographical reference points: the educational trail covers mining history from 1545 to 1980, while the production figure describes a specific monthly output in 1947.

Trails and Navigation

The educational trail comprises three circular routes: Radnický, Hylákův, and Šternberský. Their names help you distinguish the trail’s routes; the Chomle stop focuses on mining, with its photographic panel. The educational trail’s signage is being updated. Check the current trail markers on site.

The Okruh Radnice circular route passes through the valley of the Chomelský potok to Chomle. For this route, both the valley and destination are named, while the three circular route names and the mining stop provide specific points of reference on the educational trail. Conditions on the Okruh Radnice may change; take this into account when planning. You can consider the routes according to their respective descriptions: here, the circular routes and mining stop; there, the route through the valley to Chomle.

Church Architecture

Kostel sv. Markéty is a low, single-nave church dating from the second half of the 15th century. It stands on a rise in the western part of Chomle. Its presbytery contains a small tabernacle in the form of a chapel with a canopy vault, carved from a single stone. The church can be understood in terms of its date, architectural form, and location; the tabernacle stands out for its distinctive form and the fact that it was made from a single stone. This offers an architectural perspective ranging from the building as a whole to a single crafted element.
