Radošov: Local History and Vávrovecký Pond

Radošov brings together a history rooted in tradition, a former school building now used as a cultural centre, an annual event and Vávrovecký Pond. These offer different starting points for planning a stay: you can focus on historical dates, a specific event date, or the pond and the Chapel of St Giles.

Local History and Cultural Centre

The first recorded entry mentioning Radošov dates from 1365. Another year of note is 1888, when a school was built in Radošov. The former general school building now serves as a cultural centre. The entry from 1365 and the school built in 1888 mark distinct points in time. The former school building’s current use gives local history a contemporary cultural focal point. The 523 years between the first mention in 1365 and the school’s construction in 1888 span a striking period in the history of the village.

Event: Dates and Formats

The event “Do Radošova ke kapličce sv. Jiljí” (To Radošov and the Chapel of St Giles) invites tourists to the Radošov Cultural Centre every year. Its fifth edition took place on 14 March 2026 and was advertised as both a walking and a cycling event. Refreshments and live music are part of the programme at the cultural centre. The two advertised formats offer different ways to get around. If you would like to plan your stay around the event, check the date of the edition relevant to your trip in advance.

Pond, Chapel and Route Section

Vávrovecký Pond lies between Radošov and Horní Smrčné. The Chapel of St Giles is located southwest of Radošov, by the pond. This makes the two spatial relationships clear: the pond is between the villages, and the chapel is southwest of Radošov. There is a small grassy beach at Vávrovecký Pond, with a gently sloping entrance to the water. If you plan to spend time on the shore, check current conditions before your visit. The chapel and the beach offer different points of interest: a cultural and historical landmark and a place to spend time by the water.

Another perspective is offered by the “Radošov & Horní Smrčné” section of the “Rokštejnský okruh s návštěvou pivovaru” route (Rokštejn Circuit with a Visit to a Brewery). Along this section, the route begins to descend towards the Brtnice valley. While the pond and chapel offer specific local points of interest, this section describes a direction towards the valley. You can therefore consider the route as a focus in its own right, alongside the historical and cultural landmarks.

Planning Your Stay Around the Occasion

The pond, chapel and route section offer further, distinct ways to experience the landscape. This lets you match the purpose of your stay with the themes that actually shape your trip.
