Nemojany: Hiking, Chobot and Cultural History

Nemojany offers several points of interest to consider when choosing a place to stay: walks and hikes in the Rakovecké údolí Nature Park, cycle route 5071, Chobot Pond and historic buildings. If you are looking for a hotel for a visit to Nemojany, you can first consider whether you are more interested in trails, cycling, the pond or cultural history. The local features provide different points of reference for each of these interests.

Walks, Hiking and Cycling

Today, Nemojany is a starting point for walks and hikes in the Rakovecké údolí Nature Park. This identifies a specific natural area for planning these activities on foot. Cycle route 5071 offers a different point of reference: it passes through Nemojany and is 32 kilometres long. This lets you distinguish between the two options—the nature park and hiking on the one hand, and a numbered cycle route with a stated total length on the other.

This distinction helps you tailor your stay to your preferred activity, without combining walks and the cycling route into a single tour. If you are interested in route 5071, you can use its length as a concrete point of reference for further planning; if you want to explore on foot, Nemojany is a starting point for hikes and walks in the Rakovecké údolí. Both are relevant when getting your bearings in Nemojany, but they describe different ways of getting around.

Chobot Pond and Practical Information

Chobot Pond covers about 4.3 hectares and is associated with sport fishing. Its location can also be pinpointed: from the centre of Nemojany, the pond is just under one kilometre away in the direction of Pístovice. Parking is available at the Nemojanský mlýn Hotel. Check the parking option again before your visit, before relying on it.

Visitors using wheelchairs can visit the pond with assistance; however, access to the water is not adapted. Check these conditions again before your visit. This clearly distinguishes between visiting and accessing the water: assistance makes the described visit possible, but does not mean that access to the water is adapted.

The historical area figure for the Chobot mill estate also provides context for the pond: the historic mill estate included a 3.24-hectare pond. This figure describes the property at the time, not the current water surface area. It stands alongside the approximate figure of 4.3 hectares and refers to a different period and context.

Cultural Monuments and Local History

Boží muka is an important example of small-scale sacred architecture in the landscape around Nemojany. The historicist structure was built around the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, or in the early 19th century. It stands outside the built-up area, on the road to Brno. Following exemplary restoration in 2022, Boží muka received second place in 2023 in the Jihomoravský kraj competition for the best-restored cultural monument of 2022, in the Small Structures category.

The Chapel of St John of Nepomuk in Nemojany dates from 1855. A wayside shrine stands by the former Imperial Road in Nemojany. These different structures and dates offer various starting points for exploring local cultural history, rather than reducing it to a single monument.

The historic Chobot mill is also among the features handed down through local history: it was powered by water. The historic Chobot mill estate also included the aforementioned 3.24-hectare pond. The mill’s operation and the historical area figure place the pond in a different context from its approximate area or its association with sport fishing.

Further Points of Reference

The Brno–Přerov railway line runs along the edge of Nemojany. Below the church on the hill is a viewpoint that faces mainly south. These details add two different points of reference: the course of the railway line at the edge of the village and the direction the viewpoint faces. Together with the hiking, cycling and cultural attractions, they can help you choose which aspects of Nemojany matter most for your stay.
