Revnov: Cycling Routes and Built Heritage

Revnov offers several specific points to consider when choosing where to stay: Cycle Route No. 11 passes through the village, another signposted tour goes through Revnov, and its built heritage ranges from individual buildings to the village settlement structure. The first written mention of Revnov dates from 1542. When planning your stay, you can consider cycling, local history and event dates as different aspects of your visit.

Cycling around Revnov

Cycle Route No. 11 passes through Revnov; from there, it follows a field path towards the ruins of Borotín Castle and the village of the same name. The signposted 48 km cycling tour “Za Jistebnickým kancionálem” runs from Tábor via Chotoviny and Revnov to Borotín. These provide different ways to plan your route: Route No. 11 indicates the direction from Revnov towards Borotín, while the second tour gives the total distance and the sequence of places. You can therefore decide whether to focus your plans on the stretch leading out of Revnov or on the marked tour with its stated distance. Check current route conditions before setting off.

Surroundings and landscape

The cadastral area of Revnov lies within Jistebnická vrchovina Nature Park. A field path leads from the village square past a wayside cross and offers a view of Chotoviny. These details provide different scales of orientation: the nature park places the cadastral area within a wider landscape, while the path indicates a starting point in the village and a view of Chotoviny.

Buildings and local history

A clearly identified point of reference for local history is the former school at No. 37, built in 1912. A memorial plaque to former headmaster Ludvík Bednář is on the building; century-old oaks can be seen behind the school. The construction date and memorial plaque connect the school’s history with the memory of a person; the oaks add to the view of the area behind the building.

Architectural heritage includes the former school at No. 37, the chapel, the building at No. 36, and the groups of rural buildings at Nos. 7, 8 and 13, and Nos. 11, 18 and 28. Another group of folk architecture comprises houses Nos. 22, 23, 24 and 32. The village settlement layout and rural residential buildings are also part of the town-planning heritage. Thus, the built heritage encompasses individual buildings, groups of buildings and the structure of the village.

Chapel, events and accommodation

There is a bell in the tower of Revnov’s chapel. A bench stands in front of the well-maintained building, where you can rest. “Loučení s létem” is one of the events held regularly in Revnov. Check the dates when planning your trip if you would like to attend. For accommodation planning, it is also relevant that holiday accommodation is available year-round in the former school at No. 37. Check availability before your trip.
