Discover Čelechovice

Čelechovice can be considered for travel planning through three distinct aspects: the town’s history and buildings, the landscape between Haná and the foothills of the Oderské vrchy, and a named cycling route. If you are looking for a hotel for a stay in Čelechovice, these topics can help you match the character of the destination to your own interests. The following local features offer concrete points to consider when making that decision.

Landscape and orientation

Čelechovice lies in a valley amid gently rolling loess hills. At the same time, the town is situated at the transition between Haná and the last foothills of the Oderské vrchy. These descriptions refer to different scales: the valley defines the town’s location, while the transition places it within the wider landscape. The Kopřivnice stream flows through Čelechovice. For a broad sense of the region, the town is also halfway between Přerov and Olomouc.

Getting there and transport

A lowest-class road passes through Čelechovice; no railway runs through the town. Take both details into account when planning your journey and check transport conditions before setting out.

History and traditions

The first written mention of Čelechovice dates from 1190. In the same year, the town was owned by the Olomouc Chapter. The date therefore connects two distinct historical details: the earliest written record and a contemporary ownership relationship. A much later point of reference is the Chapel of St. Anthony and St. Vendelin, which dates from 1825. It stands beside the road in the town centre. After a severe storm, it was reconstructed in 2005. Traditional Hodové Masses are held in the chapel; if you would like to include one in your travel plans, check the current dates locally. The Hodové celebrations were held from 14 to 16 June 2024, from 13 to 15 June 2025, and from 12 to 14 June 2026. For a future trip, check the dates for the relevant year. Two memorial crosses in Čelechovice are also part of local commemorative culture.

Hradisko, nature monument and cycling route

South of Čelechovice, outside the built-up area, the wooded slopes of the 300 m-high Hradisko rise above the surroundings. A symbolic mound at the summit commemorates the founding of the Czech state. The nearby protected natural monument “Přírodní památka Lhotka u Přerova” is also located on steep slopes around the Olešnice stream; rare xerothermic vegetation is protected there. The two places offer different points of interest: at Hradisko, the memorial site is set among wooded slopes, while Lhotka focuses on protecting rare xerothermic vegetation.

For cycling enthusiasts, the “Okolo mikroregionu Dolek” cycling route passes through Čelechovice. It offers a different focus from the chapel and memorial crosses: here, the emphasis is on a cycling route through the town, while those are specific cultural sites within the municipality.
