Okrouhlá Radouň: Chapel, cycling route and uranium mining

Okrouhlá Radouň brings together several distinct points of interest for planning your trip: a memorial with an adjacent park, the Chapel of St. Wenceslas, the Radouňská Rally, a named cycling route and the spoil heap left by uranium mining. This gives you a view of the town that ranges from memorial and architectural history to a motorsport event, a specific cycling route and an industrial-geological trace. If you are considering a hotel stay in Okrouhlá Radouň, these themes can help you match the purpose of your trip to the character of the town.

Local history: memorial and chapel

The memorial to the victims of the First World War and the adjacent park are part of the cultural heritage of the municipality of Okrouhlá Radouň. The municipality formally recorded this designation in an official resolution in 2011.

The smaller Chapel of St. Wenceslas has its own history: the municipality built it in 2012 and had it consecrated on September 28 of that year. In 2022, a bell tower was added to the chapel, also at the initiative of the municipality and with funding from the South Bohemian Region. The sequence marks two distinct points in time—the construction and consecration of the chapel, and the addition of the tower ten years later. Alongside the commemoration of the First World War, the chapel and its later addition also offer a glimpse into the town’s history.

Radouňská Rally and cycling route

The Radouňská Rally offers an event-related point of interest. For the 2026 edition, its service area was located in Okrouhlá Radouň. The organizer publishes overviews of the special stages, as well as information to help spectators find their way and identify access points along the route. These details serve different purposes when planning a trip: the service area places part of the event in Okrouhlá Radouň, while the spectator information helps with finding your way along the route. If you are planning a trip around the rally, include the specific event dates and spectator information in your plans, and check the published details in advance.

Another way to connect the municipality with a specific activity is the cycling route “SKRÝCHOVY, RADOUNĚ A ČERTŮV KÁMEN.” After the section from Kubalov, it leads to Okrouhlá Radouň; the route lists “Okrouhlá Radouň – památná lípa” as a stop. The description was last updated on January 27, 2022, and route details may change. Check the information before setting out. Unlike the rally, where navigation depends on the particular edition and spectator information, this option focuses on the stated route and whether its details are up to date.

The uranium mining spoil heap

Okrouhlá Radouň – halda adds another dimension to the townscape: it is an overgrown spoil heap left by uranium mining. Mining at Okrouhlá Radouň – halda took place from 1972 to 1989. The focus here is therefore on uranium extraction and its clearly defined time period, while the memorial and chapel offer different historical themes related to remembrance and architectural history.
