Nová Víska: Hotels and Accommodation

Nová Víska is located in the Ore Mountains (Krušné hory) at an altitude of approximately 650 metres above sea level and among hills. The settlement lies in the upper or middle section of a slope with a gradient of more than 8%. Permanent grassland and almost no development characterise the landscape.

Nature

The cadastral area of Nová Víska u Domašína belongs to the Podmilesy area, a European Site of Community Importance (CZ0420160). This area protects near-natural dry grasslands and shrub formations on calcareous soils with significant orchid populations.

The valley of the Podmileský potok stream and its tributaries lies between Domašín and Louchov. In the Podmilesy area, the valley contains an almost continuous ash-alder floodplain forest.

History

Nová Víska was first mentioned in 1526 in connection with the settlement presumably founded by Cistercians from Grünhain as Nova vila. Nová Víska belonged to the Přísečnice estate; the settlement's historical German name was Neudorfel.

As a result of depopulation, the settlement was officially abandoned on 1 January 1979. Only a few houses remain of the extensive settlement of Nová Víska u Domašína. The Puschhof estate fell into ruin in 1728; a sheepfold was later located on its site.

Culture

The wayside cross stood on an old road above the former village of Nová Víska (Neudörfl), in the direction of the small settlement of Krčma (Kretscham). It is tentatively dated to the second half of the 18th century; a carved axe is depicted on the wayside cross.

The wayside shrine from Nová ves dates from 1901. The viewpoint “Vyhlídka u kříže a Kepsteinu” is located near the wayside cross and Kepstein. From Nová Víska, there is a view of the Tušimice power station.

Settlement Structure

The upper and lower parts of the settlement of Nová Víska form a single unit. There are currently 15 buildings in Nová Víska.
