Středokluky: Church, pond and trails

Středokluky can be understood through its architectural history, waterways and routes: the Church of St. Procopius stands in the central village square, a pond is connected to Natura 2000, and cycling and hiking routes pass through the village. There is also a sculpture group on the southern outskirts and a children’s playground at the sports complex. If you are planning a hotel stay, these different themes can help you weigh your interests for the trip: cultural heritage, connections with nature or outdoor activities.

Church of St. Procopius and historic complex

In the centre of Středokluky, the Church of St. Procopius stands in the village square. It is surrounded by the wall of a former cemetery, with niche chapels. The central Chapel of the Holy Cross is built into the eastern section of the enclosing wall. Thus, the church complex comprises not only the church building but also the cemetery wall and the chapels integrated into it. Both its central location and the layout of the enclosure are therefore important to its architectural context. Those interested in architectural history can consider two aspects of this complex together: the church’s location in the village centre and the design of the former cemetery boundary.

Another cultural landmark is the sculpture group of St. Ludmila and St. Wenceslas. It stands on the southern outskirts of Středokluky, on the road from Kněževes to Běloky. Its location is clearly different from that of the church in the village square: this is a named landmark on the southern outskirts, while the church is in the centre.

Pond and nature conservation

Rybník Pod Panskou pond lies between the “Koupaliště – Plovárna” sports complex and the D7 motorway. It is part of the Natura 2000 network; its bypass channel serves as a habitat for the stone crayfish. Two different connections should be noted: the Natura 2000 network applies to the pond, while the specifically named habitat function applies to its bypass channel. This distinction gives a more precise picture of the waterbody’s ecological significance. If connections with nature are important to you when choosing a destination, the pond offers a specific point of interest related to both the protected area and the stone crayfish’s habitat.

Cycling route and hiking trail

A cycling route and a hiking trail are available for planning activities. Cycling route 0079 passes through Středokluky. A green-marked hiking trail also passes through the village, running between Tuchoměřice, Černovičky and Běloky. The routes can be identified using different details: the cycling route is numbered 0079, while the hiking trail is identified by its green markings and the three place names. You can choose the route information according to whether you plan to get around by bike or on foot. Local conditions on the cycling route may change; check the hiking trail markings on site.

Children’s playground at the sports complex

A children’s playground is located on the edge of the “Koupaliště” sports complex and near the Na Plovárně restaurant. Facilities and access arrangements may change. If the playground is important to your plans, check these details before your visit.
