Nosálov: Hotels and Accommodation

Nosálov is listed as a protected heritage reserve. The village lies approximately 6 km north of Mšeno in the picturesque, hilly landscape of the Polomené hory at an elevation of 382 m and stretches along the southeastern slope of Vrátenská hora. Nosálov also serves as one of the gateways to the Kokořínsko–Máchův kraj Protected Landscape Area.

Landscape

Several marked hiking and cycling loops run around Nosálov. The village is also a starting point for hiking trails of varying difficulty leading into the eastern part of the Polomené hory. Vrátenská hora lies directly on a marked blue hiking trail and cycle route No. 143. Selnerovo hradiště is approximately 150 metres from a marked green hiking trail; the roughly two-hectare-long, narrow spur features ramparts dating from the Early to High Middle Ages.

Nature and Views

The Vrátenská lookout tower offers views across all of northeastern Bohemia, the Ralská pahorkatina and the Česká Lípa region. The panorama extends from Bezděz Castle to the Jizera Mountains, Ještěd and the western Krkonoše Mountains. The Vrátenská lookout tower is open to the public at designated times.

Petrovina, also known as Vítkova jeskyně, is an approximately 15-metre-long pseudokarst cave that was artificially enlarged in the Middle Ages. Petrovina Cave can be reached via a steep path and is considered a popular destination for hitchhikers, tourists and people wishing to explore mysterious underground spaces. Cikánský kámen is a naturally hollowed-out rock grotto that probably served as an overnight shelter and resting place for travellers on their way to Žitava. Today, Cikánský kámen is considered a popular resting and leisure spot for hikers.

Culture and History

The village heritage reserve in Nosálov includes the niche chapel of the Holy Trinity on the village square; an inscription dates it to 1808. Nosálov is a well-preserved, compact village with an extensive layout around the village square, complemented by more recent buildings. In 1842, Nosálov had approximately 95 small hop gardens.
