Theresiendorf – Nature Park, St. Linhart Church and Cycling Routes

Nature, architectural history and cycling offer three different perspectives on a stay in Theresiendorf. The Novohradské hory Nature Park is also located within the administrative area of the municipality of Pohorská Ves. St. Linhart Church and two cycling route descriptions that present Pohorská Ves in different ways round out the picture. You can therefore plan your trip around the landscape, a specific building or a cycling route.

Nature and landscape

The Novohradské hory Nature Park protects a vast mountain and foothill landscape with near-natural forests and meadows, bogs, ponds and spring areas. Preserved historic features are also among the protected aspects. This makes the nature park interesting not only for its landscape but also for its cultural history. Its varied landscape features give travellers who want to include nature in their choices a broader perspective than a single type of landscape can offer.

St. Linhart Church and local history

St. Linhart Church dates from 1787. It has a single nave, with a small wooden tower above the west façade. A single-nave church has one main nave. This describes the layout of the interior, while the small tower is a distinct feature of the exterior. The history of Pohorská Ves dates back to the second half of the 18th century; the church’s construction in 1787 falls within this period. A general historical context for the village and a precisely dated building thus stand side by side.

At the adjacent tourist information centre, visitors can look inside the church and learn about its restoration. If this visit is important to your plans, ask about access before you go. The information centre in Pohorská Ves also provides information about the region and events organised by the municipal administration and the Terezie Beautification Association. Regional information and event listings answer different questions: one helps with general orientation, while the other concerns specific dates. Check event dates in advance if they are a deciding factor for your travel period.

Cycling and route planning

Two routes are described in different ways for cyclists. The cycling tour “From Budějovice through the Novohradské Mountains” passes through Malonty and Pohorská Ves, and reaches the highest point of the tour. Cycling Route 1193 runs from Pohorská Ves via Huťský rybník and Pohoří na Šumavě to Dolní Příbrání. The first tour focuses on the places it passes through and the highest point reached, while the second highlights the sequence of the named places. This distinction can help you decide whether a tour’s highest point or a sequence of specific places is more useful for your planning. Check the latest route details before setting out; for Route 1193, you should also check the surface conditions.
