Discover Černá u Bohdanče

Černá u Bohdanče can be explored from several perspectives: its history reaches back to mentions in the 14th century, and the village centre features a wooden bell tower, a stone cross and a monument to the fallen. Cycling Route 4041 runs for 10 kilometres through the municipality. The Rajská struha and the summer use of the Písníky lakes are also part of the local landscape. If you are looking for a hotel for your stay, you can decide whether history, cycling or bodies of water should be your main focus.

Local history spanning several centuries

The first mentions of Černá u Bohdanče date back to the 14th century. Records show that in 1377, Albert of Cimburk sold the village to Opatovice Monastery. The first mention gives a broad timeframe, while the sale specifies a particular year and event.

A manorial register recorded milling as one of the trades practised in Černá u Bohdanče in 1588. This shifts the focus from the sale to local work: milling was part of the range of trades at the time, but it was not the only one.

The Cepl Mill on a stream dates from the 17th century. The village centre also features a wooden bell tower, a stone cross and a monument to the fallen. The tower and cross are immediately distinguished by their materials; the monument is identified by its dedication.

This sequence spans the 14th to the 17th century: the sale of 1377 and the record of a trade in 1588 fall between the first mentions and the mill. This allows the broad timeframe and two more precisely dated historical milestones to be distinguished.

Waterway and landscape

The Rajská struha flows through Černá u Bohdanče and empties into the Labe. Labiště pod Černou, a significant landscape feature, is located nearby. Their locations differ: the waterway runs through the municipality, while Labiště pod Černou lies in the surrounding area.

Cycling route, swimming and fishing

Cycling Route 4041 is 10 kilometres long and runs from Lázně Bohdaneč through Černá u Bohdanče and Živanice to Mělice. Černá u Bohdanče therefore lies between the starting point and destination in the listed sequence; the 10 kilometres refers to the entire route. Its length and the order of the places provide a concrete basis for planning your ride. As route conditions can change, check them before setting off.

The Písníky lakes Velká Černá and Malá Černá are used by local residents for swimming in summer. Velká Černá also serves as a fishing ground for the Přelouč branch of the Czech Fishing Union (Český rybářský svaz). These refer to different uses: summer swimming applies to both Písníky lakes, while the fishing ground is Velká Černá and is associated with the named branch.
