Jarov U Blovic: Chapel, Hills and Cycle Path

Jarov U Blovic offers clear points of reference for travellers who want to get to know a Czech locality through its history, its paths and destinations in the surrounding area. The school building in Jarov was built as a one-class school in autumn 1875. Jarov is also home to the Chapel of the Virgin Mary. Together with the local landscape features, this provides an orientation in which cultural details and outdoor destinations can be considered separately.

The local history is first reflected in the school building. The former school building in Jarov contains a sports room used for table tennis. The building’s former function and its current use as a place with a sports room belong to different periods and should therefore be viewed accordingly.

Other distinctive points are located within the village and along the roads around Jarov. There is a cross in the eastern part of Jarov. A statue of Saint Joseph stands at a crossroads south of Jarov. The Saint Joseph Cross stands on the road towards Kokořov. These three place references differ in location and designation, thereby providing specific points of reference for orientation around Jarov. The cross in the east, the statue south of the village and the Saint Joseph Cross towards Kokořov represent separate local points of reference.

The hill Dus [Měcholupy u Blovic] is located in the vicinity of Jarov. The 582 m-high hill Dus can be reached on foot northeast of Jarov. Mount Buzrakov (Plánický hřeben) is located in the vicinity of Jarov. The 589 m-high hill Chroustov lies west of Jarov. These destinations indicate different directions and elevations, without implying a shared route or a specific amount of time required.

The mountain Nad Moráskem and Mount Radyně are located in the wider regional surroundings of Jarov. The church “Plzen Barholomaeus Cathedral” is also located in the wider regional surroundings of Jarov. For planning purposes, it is therefore possible to distinguish between points in the immediate vicinity, destinations with a specified direction and places situated farther away in the wider region.

Cycle Path No. 2148 runs through the whole of Jarov. Cycling is therefore one of the explicitly mentioned features of the locality. Jarov also has two ponds. Those who want to view Jarov not only through its buildings but also through its paths and bodies of water will find several clearly identified elements within the locality. The cycle path and ponds complement the buildings and religious markers with further specific local points of reference.
