Přezletice between a cycling route and archaeology

Přezletice combines a cycling route that runs through the village with the Early Paleolithic archaeological site of Zlatý Kopec and the Zlaťák community center. These features offer different points of interest when planning your trip: cycling, archaeological history, and regular local programs. The landscape, with its agricultural land and avenues of fruit trees, adds a distinct impression of the village to these themes.

Cycling route 0034: route and character

Cycling route 0034 passes through Přezletice and connects Horní Počernice with Ctěnice along a route that is 12 kilometers long in total. The route through the village is therefore part of a longer connection; the stated distance refers to the entire route, not just a section in Přezletice. This makes it possible to consider Přezletice both as a destination for cycling and as a stop along a longer route.

The route follows roads with light traffic, short sections of cycle paths, and local roads. The information about route length and road surfaces is complementary: the distance describes the route’s extent, while the sections on roads and cycle paths describe its character. This allows you to take the village’s cycling connections and the route as a whole into account separately when planning your trip.

Archaeology at Zlatý Kopec

Zlatý Kopec in Přezletice is an important Early Paleolithic site for paleoanthropological research. A hearth at the site is among the oldest evidence of the use of fire in Europe. For a trip focused on archaeology, this is a specific site connected to a topic from early human history.

An oval foundation wall was also discovered there, interpreted as the ground plan of an above-ground hut. This interpretation makes a possible dwelling a second topic alongside the use of fire. At Zlatý Kopec, evidence of the use of fire and the interpretation of a possible hut ground plan can therefore be considered side by side.

Landscape and local character

Přezletice is characterized by flat agricultural land with high-quality soils. Streets are generally lined with avenues of fruit trees of varying ages. These features describe the village beyond its archaeological significance: agriculture, flat terrain, and avenues are part of its landscape.

If you would like to consider the surroundings as well as a historical topic when choosing a destination, the flat agricultural landscape and avenues of fruit trees offer a second perspective to guide you. This allows you to see Přezletice’s archaeological history and landscape character as distinct reasons for your interest in the village.

Zlaťák community center

The Zlaťák community center offers another point to consider when planning your trip. It includes a café where passersby can also stop for coffee, and hosts regular programs for children, parents, seniors, and the general public.

For planning purposes, you can consider the two offerings separately: the café is also intended for passersby, while the programs are aimed at several age groups and the general public. If you would like to include a particular program in your stay, check the relevant event dates in advance.
