Kuřimská Nová Ves can be explored through three distinct interests: its landmark church, the Pláně natural monument and the recurring Antonínský Kros. When planning a trip, it is therefore helpful to consider your reason for visiting. The church and natural monument provide place-based focal points, while the race and summer cultural events are more closely tied to specific dates.
Church and memorial lime trees
The Church of Saint Anthony of Padua is the landmark church of Kuřimská Nová Ves and dates from 1937. A cemetery adjoins the church, and two memorial lime trees, around 300 years old, stand beside it. The contrast between the church’s dated construction year of 1937 and the trees’ approximate age makes two different historical time scales visible. For travelers interested in religious heritage or old trees, this local setting offers specific points of interest.
Pláně and its natural features
The Pláně natural monument lies within the cadastral area of Kuřimská Nová Ves and is classified as IUCN Category IV — a habitat/species management area. It is home to protected and endangered plant and animal species, almost all typical meadow species, and numerous junipers. The category focuses attention on habitats and species, while the specific varieties found there make this nature focus tangible. For travelers choosing a place for its natural features, Pláně is a clear point of interest.
Views in clear weather
In clear weather, the view extends across the surrounding area. Alongside the specific natural features of Pláně, this offers another way to appreciate the landscape: here, the focus is on the vastness of the surroundings; there, on habitats and species. The two perspectives appeal to different interests in nature.
Antonínský Kros and cultural events
The Antonínský Kros is a recurring cross-country race. The 10th edition took place on Saturday, June 13, 2026, at the sports complex in the municipality of Kuřimská Nová Ves. The main course follows forest and field roads or trails and has an elevation gain of 117 m. The two course features answer different planning questions: roads and trails indicate the terrain, while the elevation figure adds information about the elevation profile. If you are considering the race as a reason to travel, you can take both into account when preparing. If you are planning a trip around a future edition, check its date before traveling.
Various cultural events take place at the sports complex in Kuřimská Nová Ves during the summer. The two types of events differ when it comes to choosing when to travel: the cross-country race is associated with a specific edition and its date, while the cultural events take place during the summer season. If you want a particular event to determine your stay, check its date before booking accommodation. The specified Kros edition and the cultural events take place at the same sports complex.
