Chotutice: Nature, Railway Connections and Local History
Accommodation in Chotutice
When planning a trip to Chotutice, there are several specific points of interest to consider: the railway station on line 012, the war memorial in the town center, the Chapel of the Virgin Mary and the Lom u Radimi Natural Monument nearby. There is also the annual BramboraÄŤka Cup. Depending on whether you want to focus on railway connections, local history, a geological natural feature or an event date, you can choose different priorities for your stay. The following details about the town can help you organize these interests before you plan.
Railway connections for planning your trip
Chotutice railway station is on line 012, on the Pečky–Bečváry and Bošice–Kouřim routes. This makes the railway a clear point of reference when planning your trip. If you plan to travel by train, check the timetable for your travel dates before you set out; train services and timetables may change.
Lom u Radimi Natural Monument
The Lom u Radimi Natural Monument is near Chotutice, between the southwestern edge of Radim and Chotutice railway stop, on the left bank of the Výrovka. It protects an example of Upper Cretaceous littoral facies. This technical term describes the geological character of the protected site; the reference to the Upper Cretaceous also places it in a geological time period. This makes it possible to connect an outing with a specific natural-history topic. The natural monument can be reached via a turnoff from the green Pečky–Kouřim hiking trail or by following the signs for the Cestou za trilobity educational trail. If you would like to combine a walk with a geological theme during your stay, this outing makes a distinct focus.
Townscape and places of remembrance
The war memorial stands in the town center at the intersection of Průběžná and Viselecká streets, surrounded by a park. In Chotutice, a lime-tree avenue leads to a cross. These features offer different points of reference: the intersection and park define the setting of the memorial, while the cross is the destination of the avenue. The cross in Chotutice was restored in 2022 at the municipality’s expense. This restoration adds a clearly dated historical layer to the townscape.
Chapel and building history
The Chapel of the Virgin Mary has a two-phase building history. It was originally built in 1805 as a Neoclassical chapel with an unknown dedication, then remodeled in the Art Nouveau style in 1909 according to plans by engineer Josef Koněrze. The year 1805 dates the original construction, while 1909 marks the later remodeling; the original dedication is not known. This allows architecture enthusiasts to clearly distinguish between the building’s construction and its later remodeling.
The chapel, cross and war memorial offer different historical perspectives: the chapel is notable for its building phases, the cross for its dated restoration, and the war memorial for its location in the town center. This can help you weigh the focus between architectural history and finding your way around town.
BramboraÄŤka Cup
The Bramboračka Cup is an annual football tournament in Chotutice. In 2026, Malá Kopaná in Chotutice is the designated venue. If the Cup is important to your reason for traveling, check your travel dates against the specific event date. Unlike the permanent architectural and natural features, this reason to visit depends on the date.
