Horní Bojanovice: Culture, Folk Costume and Cycling Route

Horní Bojanovice offers several specific points to consider when choosing a destination: a church with a medieval history and Romanesque floor plan, a local folk costume tradition, and a cycling route that passes through the town. If you are looking for a hotel in Horní Bojanovice, you can weigh up whether architectural history and customs or cycling and scenery will shape your trip more. There is also an annual June event and visitor attractions with their own conditions.

Landscape and natural features

Horní Bojanovice lies on the southern foothills of the Ždánický les, in the area known as the Boleradická vrchovina. This description links the broader forest area with a more precisely named subregion. The cadastral area includes oak-hornbeam forests, floodplain forests and alder forests, as well as downy oak forests and rocky forest-steppe habitats. The natural features thus encompass a range of forest and habitat types. This aspect of the landscape adds a distinct perspective to the town’s cultural and historical themes when planning your trip.

Church and architectural history

The Church of Saint Lawrence dates from the 13th century. It has a unique Romanesque floor plan and Renaissance bells. The building thus brings together a medieval date, a distinctive floor plan and bells from a later period. If you are interested in religious architecture, the church offers several specific features that shed light on the town’s history.

This historical context is complemented by the Chapel of Saint Florian, which dates from the mid-18th century. The comparison takes you from a building dating from the 13th century to a second religious site from a later period. Horní Bojanovice thus has two distinct historical landmarks.

Folk costume and Hody

The folk costume of Horní Bojanovice belongs to the Haná-Slovak group of folk costumes. Its festive form is worn at Hody celebrations and weddings. The krojované Hody of Horní Bojanovice take place on the feast day of Saint Lawrence, August 10. Thus, the folk costume is associated with specific festive occasions, while the local celebration has a fixed date on the calendar. The exact Hody program may vary; if you are planning to visit on August 10, check that year’s program.

Cycling route, wineries and planning your visit

The Velkopavlovická Wine Cycling Route passes through Horní Bojanovice. If you plan to use this route, check the local signage. The Expedice Krajem André event also takes place every June, on a route that passes through Horní Bojanovice. If you plan to attend, it is a good idea to check that year’s program.

Modern wineries in Horní Bojanovice are open to visitors; access may vary from one winery to another. So coordinate any planned visit with the winery in question. The pools at Koupaliště Horní Bojanovice may only be used during the swimming pool’s operating hours. If you plan to visit, schedule your trip around those hours.
