Dolní Vidim between Rock Architecture and Village Culture
Dolní Vidim combines a part of the village situated in the valley and focused on recreation with rock architecture, historic building forms, and links to cycling and hiking trails. This creates a destination for your travel planning where local culture and outdoor activity can be experienced together.
Dolní Vidim is the valley-set, predominantly recreation-oriented part of Vidim. Most of Vidim’s two-storey log and half-timbered houses are located in Dolní Vidim.
Carved cellars and rock dwellings have been preserved in the sandstone bedrock of Dolní Vidim. These spaces complement the above-ground village structure with areas worked directly out of the rock.
Which historic traces shape the village?
The historic traces include Starý zámek. These are the modest remains of a rock castle probably founded in the 13th century. At Starý zámek, a room carved out of the rock, a cistern, and beam sockets have been preserved.
House No. 67 is a two-storey log house with a three-part, two-wing floor plan of the so-called stable type. The wooden core of House No. 67 has been dated to 1792. House No. 67 in Dolní Vidim is listed in the Central Register of Immovable Monuments.
Which cycling and hiking trails are there near the historic sites?
Cycle Route No. 0012 runs through Dolní Vidim. It follows mostly Class III roads and connects the village with Dobřeň to the east. For a cycling trip, the fact that the route runs mostly along Class III roads remains a specific planning factor.
Starý zámek lies directly on the blue-marked hiking trail and about 50 metres from Cycle Route No. 0012. The rock niche chapel is located directly on the blue-marked hiking trail and Cycle Route No. 0012. At the wooden bell tower, the distance to the blue- and green-marked hiking trails is approximately 300 metres; at the same time, it is located directly on Cycle Route No.
What special features are part of the local culture?
