Discover Boharyně: Church, River and Cycle Routes

Boharyně and its district of Homyle lie on both banks of the Bystřice. The river gives the description of the area a clear geographical reference point, alongside its ecclesiastical history, the mill complex and two cycle routes with specified lengths. This makes it possible to plan your stay around specific themes: local history, waterside scenery and cycling.

Church and Local History

The Baroque Church of St. Bartholomew in Boharyně was built in 1650 and altered in 1783. The two dates mark distinct stages in its architectural history: first its construction, then a later alteration. Today, the church is a branch church; previously, it was a parish church. It also shapes the local skyline. This building thus brings together architecture, institutional history and a visible role in the community.

Other historical points of interest include a statue of St. John of Nepomuk dating from 1808 and the cemetery cross. The cross was restored in 1905 and consecrated on 27 August of that same year. These details span the Baroque church, an object from the early 19th century, and two dated events in 1905. This makes it possible to distinguish the different milestones in local history.

The Boharyně mill complex is a separate point of interest: it was declared a cultural monument on 3 February 2003. This date marks its designation as a cultural monument. Together with the church, the complex adds another protected cultural asset to the area's historical attractions.

Waterways and Nature

The millrace runs along the eastern edge of the settlement and flows back into the Bystřice in the cadastral area of Roudnice. The river itself is another focus: in the Boharyně area, the Bystřice Natural Monument lies in the riverbed of the Bystřice. The stretch of river downstream from Boharyně is also home to the rare freshwater pearl mussel Unio crassus. This makes it possible to distinguish the course of the millrace, the natural monument and the species mentioned as separate aspects of the waterside landscape.

Cycle Routes and Bus Service

Two cycle routes with specified lengths are listed. Cycle route 4291 is 15 kilometres long and runs from Praskačka via Libčany, Boharyně and Trnava to Kratonohy. Cycle route 4291A runs from Boharyně to Zvíkov and is 2.5 kilometres long. The comparison shows a clear difference in length: the 15 kilometres of route 4291 are six times the 2.5 kilometres of route 4291A. Check the local signage before setting out.

Bus route 102 (611102) connects Hradec Králové, Libčany, Boharyně and Nový Bydžov. The timetable is valid from 14 December 2025 to 12 December 2026. Check the timetable details before travelling and compare the validity dates with your travel date. This allows you to consider the bus service as a separate planning option alongside the two cycle routes.

The themes offer different points of emphasis: the church, statue and cemetery cross provide dated points of reference for local history; the millrace and the Bystřice follow different courses; and the two cycle routes can be compared by length. These specific details can help you choose Boharyně according to the focus of your trip.
