Nehodiv: Nature and Village History

Nehodiv brings together nature, an educational trail and historic landmarks in the village. When planning your trip, you can focus on different aspects: the Dolejší dráhy Natural Monument draws attention to protected and endangered plants, while the Stehlíkova Educational Trail links flora and fauna with local and landscape history. In the village, there is also a chapel, a shrine and an old lime tree. If you are looking for a hotel in Nehodiv, these specific features can help you get a sense of what your planned stay has to offer.

Natural Monument and Landscape

The Dolejší dráhy Natural Monument lies about one kilometre southwest of Nehodiv, on the south side of the road to Štipoklasy. It covers former village meadows with numerous protected and endangered plant species. The location details give you specific reference points: the direction, approximate distance and side of the road. The site brings together the meadows’ former use by the village and the plant life of the natural monument.

The landscape around Nehodiv is also shaped by the 706-metre-high Stírka hill. This highlights two distinct landscape features: a natural monument with former meadows and protected plant species, and a hill whose elevation is specified. Each gives the landscape description its own focus.

Circular Route and Educational Trail

The Pohoří–Myslív–Nehodiv–Loužná circular route is part of the area around the Stehlíkova Educational Trail. It passes through Nehodiv and offers beautiful views of the landscape. The educational trail itself has seven stops. It covers flora and fauna, as well as the history of the villages and the landscape, following in the footsteps of the writer Ladislav Stehlík. Nature and local history are presented alongside the landscape.

When comparing the two, their focus is especially useful: the educational trail is defined by its seven stops and themes, while the circular route is defined by the sequence of places listed and its landscape views. This can help you decide when planning your trip whether you would rather explore the educational trail’s varied topics or focus on the circular route’s landscape perspective.

Sacred Sites and Village Square

In the centre of Nehodiv, a reconstructed chapel dedicated to Saint John of Nepomuk stands in the village square. It was built in 1950. Separate from this is the shrine of Saint John of Nepomuk in Nehodiv, which stands on the site of a former Baroque chapel. Its connection to the site of an earlier religious building adds another historical reference to the information about the chapel in the centre.

An old lime tree also stands in the village square. Its trunk circumference is more than three metres, and it has stood here for nearly 300 years. The time references for these village landmarks differ: the chapel has a stated year of construction, while the tree’s age is approximate. Together with the shrine’s location, they offer several different points of connection with local history.
