Chuderov: Viewpoints, Trails and History

Explore Chuderov through its hills, viewpoints and traces of history. The local destinations offer different highlights: at Radešín, the focus is on its elevation, rock and prehistoric hillfort; at Zámecký vrch, views are complemented by the history of a fortified site. Marked trails and St Martin’s Church round out the picture.

Landscape and trails

According to the municipality’s 2024 land-use plan, the administrative area of Chuderov lies within the České středohoří Protected Landscape Area. The named hills and viewpoints add specific landmarks for orientation to this geographical setting.

The Chuderovské okruhy include a four-kilometre extension of the blue-marked hiking trail from Žežice to Vyhlídka Vladimíra Horáka. The blue marking and stated length give you two concrete details to identify this section. There is a hikers’ shelter at Vyhlídka Vladimíra Horáka, on the trail from Radešín. You can reach the summit of Radešín from four directions: from Chuderov, Sovolusky, Radešín and Chuderovec.

Radešín and its history

Radešín, above Chuderovec, is 552 metres high and consists of trachyte. A prehistoric hillfort once stood on the mountain. Radešín therefore brings together a precise elevation, a specific type of rock and a historical reference at one named location. The hillfort belongs to the past; the elevation and rock type describe the mountain.

Two viewpoints

Zámecký vrch offers views of the Elbe Valley and the peaks of the Bohemian Central Highlands. The hill can be reached via the road between Chuderovec and Arnultovice. At the beginning of the 14th century, a wooden fortified site stood on Zámecký vrch; it was burned down in 1348. The views and history provide two distinct points of interest: the views take in the landscape, while the site belongs to the medieval past.

Vyhlídka na zelené lies above Chuderovec on a green-marked trail. From there, views extend to the crest of the Ore Mountains and the northern part of Ústí nad Labem. The named sights differ from those at Zámecký vrch: there, you see the Elbe Valley and the peaks of the Bohemian Central Highlands; here, the Ore Mountains crest and the northern part of Ústí nad Labem. This lets you distinguish between the two viewpoints according to the landscapes that interest you most.

St Martin’s Church

St Martin’s Church in Chuderov has a single nave. Its chancel has a polygonal end and is set apart from the nave. The nave has a gabled roof, while the chancel has a hipped roof; there is also a roof turret. The nave and chancel are thus described as separate parts of the building, each with a different roof form. A polygonal chancel end describes the chancel’s faceted shape; gabled and hipped roofs name the roof forms above the two parts of the building. Alongside the hills and historic sites, the church is a distinct architectural highlight in Chuderov.
