Horní Bludovice: Nature and Cultural Heritage along the Lučina

During a stay in Horní Bludovice, nature, river landscapes, and local history can be explored at specific sites. In the south lies the Stará řeka Natural Monument; the Lučina shapes the layout of the municipality. There are also named cultural sites and a traditional walking event.

Nature and River Landscapes

Stará řeka is a protected natural monument on the southern edge of Horní Bludovice. It was designated a natural monument in 2002, covering an area of 1.42 hectares. The protected area includes a former, originally naturally meandering course of the Lučina; the landscape also features remnants of a softwood floodplain forest and a wetland. The stated area gives the natural monument a precise spatial extent, while the description of the old river course explains what characterizes the protected landscape.

The Lučina flows through Horní Bludovice and divides the municipality into two parts. It is therefore both part of the landscape history of Stará řeka and a defining feature of the municipality’s layout. From Kohout Hill, you can enjoy a view over Horní Bludovice and the surrounding area. These two facts emphasize different aspects: the river explains the division, while the hill offers views of the municipality and its surroundings.

The Radegast CykloTrak runs through Horní Bludovice. If you want to include this route in a cycling tour, consult current cycling maps for the route. This will help you plan your specific tour according to the current route.

Cultural Sites in the Municipal Districts

The local cultural sites are located in different municipal districts and represent various forms of cultural heritage. In Prostřední Bludovice, the statue of Saint John of Nepomuk is designated a protected cultural monument. In Nová Dědina, a statue of the same saint is one of the local attractions; the wooden bell tower in Záguří is also among the attractions of Horní Bludovice. The exact wording helps distinguish them: in Prostřední, its status as a cultural monument is emphasized, while the other two sites are described as attractions.

Another religious site is the Chapel of Saint John of Nepomuk in Špluchov, consecrated in 1930. The year of consecration adds a clearly dated site to the local selection. The statue, bell tower, and chapel represent different forms of local cultural heritage and offer various points of interest for planning your trip.

Walking Event and Club Life

Bludovické šlápoty is a traditional walking event organized by the municipality of Horní Bludovice. If you want to plan your trip around it, check the current dates in advance. This lets you decide whether to plan your stay mainly around the named natural and cultural sites or around a specific event date.

The football pitch in Dědina, by the Lučina, offers another glimpse of local club life. FC Horní Bludovice uses it for district competition matches and for adult and children’s training. The walking event is organized by the municipality, while the pitch is focused on matches and training for the local club. These two aspects offer different insights into organized activities in the area.
