Dubicko – Culture, Nature and Events

Dubicko brings together several named cultural monuments, the artificial Lake Hosena and events of various kinds. Its historical story spans a church with a medieval core and a statue dating from 1889; specific features of the lake include a planted island and a shallow shoreline zone. This offers several themes to consider when planning your trip: sacred history, nature or events, each with its own format.

Cultural Monuments and Historical Connections

The Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross has a medieval core and a bell dating from 1476. These two details point to different aspects of its history: “medieval core” describes the older part of the building, while 1476 is the year of the bell. The bell’s date therefore does not automatically date the entire church. If you are interested in the building’s history, you can consider the period and the precisely dated object separately.

The other monuments highlight different aspects. The statue of Saint John of Nepomuk dates from 1889. The atonement cross illustrates criminal law as it developed in the Middle Ages and continued into the early modern period; the focus, therefore, is on a legal-historical interpretation, not merely the dating of an object. The cuboid wayside shrine to Saint Francis of Assisi stands on the left side of the road to Hrabová. Its shape and dedication distinguish it from the church and statue as a different type of monument. Together, these objects offer different ways to explore local history: a sacred building, individual monuments and an interpretation of the history of law.

Lake Hosena and Its Natural Features

The artificial Lake Hosena adds a landscape perspective to the area’s history. Oaks, ash trees and birches have been planted on an island. The northeastern shoreline zone is another ecologically significant feature: it is shallow and provides a habitat for aquatic organisms. The island and shoreline thus represent two different aspects of the lake—the trees on the island and the shallow habitat along the edge. If you are considering natural features as well as cultural monuments when choosing a destination, the description of Hosena offers a specific point of interest.

Events in Different Formats

The 12th annual DUBIÁDA is the 2026 edition of a sports afternoon for children at the multi-purpose field behind the Sokol clubhouse in Dubicko. In Dubicko, a 9.5-kilometre hiking event is called “Pochod ke sv. Josefu.” This makes it easy to distinguish the DUBIÁDA as a children’s sports afternoon, while the hiking route is the specific point of comparison for the Pochod.

The Dubicko municipal fishing association also organizes fishing competitions for children and adults; dates vary. The fact that both age groups can take part distinguishes these competitions from the children’s sports afternoon at the DUBIÁDA. If a fishing competition is relevant to your trip, check the date.
