Kameničky is a village in the Pardubice Region of the Czech Republic. Administratively, it belongs to Trhová Kamenice, and the settlement of Filipov is subordinated to Kameničky. It has around 770 inhabitants. The village of Kameničky is situated in the Žďárské vrchy nature reserve, located in the Bohemian and Moravian Highlands region. Because of its rough weather and difficult living conditions, the area has been nicknamed the "Czech Siberia". Conversely, its beautiful countryside, including the springs of the River Chrudimka, have attracted numerous visitors; it also received an award for the most beautiful Czech village in 2001. The name "Kameničky" is derived from "Kamenice", an older name for the river. Kameničky's parish church, Holy Trinity, is attested from 1350. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, painter Antonín Slavíček often visited Kameničky. He and many other artists frequented the village after Karel Václav Rais published a book about the area. Today, the villagers periodically operate art exhibitions and maintain a Slavíček gallery. Multiple cultural heritage monuments are located in Kameničky, including the Baroque-styled church (originally wooden), the statue of St. John (1723), the statue of St. Florien (1779), a monument to World War I victims, and additional farmhouses and other historic buildings. A shrine to St. Mary sits at the foot of Volák Hill, and a wooden cross in Filipov is the area's largest. ==External links== * (Village website ) (cz) * (pořad Posvícení Českého rozhlasu Pardubice věnovaný Kameničkám ) * (Fotogalerie ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kameničky」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
