• A statue of the Virgin Mary dating from 1893 stands on the west side of a pond in Vinary.
• Stone axes and hearths point to prehistoric settlement, probably dating from the 4th century.
• The Návesák pond used to be larger, extending as far as the present-day clubhouse, the statue of the Virgin Mary, and the fire station.
• Vines were once grown and wine produced on the northern slope of Vinary.
• Adults and children can fish at Návesák for a fee.

Archaeological finds of stone axes and hearths point to early settlement. Their dating to the 4th century is probable. Vinary’s history therefore extends beyond individual monuments to traces of human presence whose dating is explicitly tentative.

Among the features dated to later periods are the stone cross with its statue of the Crucified Christ on the village square and the statue of the Virgin Mary on the west side of the pond. The cross stands at the far end of the village pond; the statue of the Virgin Mary dates from 1893. Together with the probable early settlement, these represent several periods: prehistoric traces, the cross from 1751, and the statue of the Virgin Mary from 1893.

Návesák used to be larger than it is today. Its former extent reached as far as the present-day clubhouse, the statue of the Virgin Mary, and the fire station. These specific landmarks help place the former landscape in context, rather than considering the pond only as a body of water in its own right.

The distinction between its former and present size is important for understanding the timeline: the landmarks mentioned indicate how far the pond once extended. They are part of the landscape’s history. Návesák is also associated with fishing for a fee, which raises practical questions about local regulations.

Adults and children can fish at Návesák for a fee. If you include this activity in your travel plans, check the local fishing regulations for current permit details. This helps distinguish the fee information from the regulations relevant to planning.

The former winegrowing tradition is also part of local history: vines were once grown and wine produced on the northern slope of Vinary. This agricultural past adds another facet of the village to its archaeological and architectural traces from different periods.

The Silvestrovský fotbálek, a football match traditionally held by Vinary’s firefighters, is a well-known end-of-year event. Municipal listings include events for 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. If you want to plan your visit around an event, check the dates for your travel year.

Children’s days also have specific dates in the past. On June 2, 2024, a children’s day with Večerníček was held on the sports field by the clubhouse: fairy-tale characters set up activity stations for children, who received a sweet reward for completing them. The Kloboukový dětský den took place in Vinary in 2025. These dates give you an idea of past events, but do not replace checking the calendar for your planned travel year.
