Discover Ochoz: History and Walks in the Pilávka Valley

Ochoz offers a range of reasons to plan a trip: historic chapels, walks in the Pilávka Valley and Ochozská kyselka. If you are looking for a hotel in Ochoz, first consider whether local history, time outdoors or a specific event date is your main priority. This helps connect your search with the themes you want to shape your stay.

Chapels and Local History

Ochoz is first mentioned in 1351. The Chapel of St. Wenceslas stands by the school and dates from 1884. The Chapel of St. Libor stands at a crossroads on the old trade route towards Kladky. Its original chapel dates from 1669; it was rebuilt in 1910. The dates can be distinguished by their significance: 1351 marks the first mention of the town, 1669 the original Chapel of St. Libor, and 1910 its renovation. The local history thus brings together an early reference to the town and two separate milestones in the history of one building.

Walks and Ochozská kyselka

The entire valley of the Pilávka River invites you to go for walks; take the local ground conditions into account. Ochozská kyselka lies in the valley near the former Ochozský mlýn and is considered a popular excursion destination. At one spring, water can be drawn using a hand pump beside a wooden pavilion. However, Ochozská kyselka is currently found only at this one spring, which is in poor condition. There is a practical difference between a walk in the valley and a visit to the spring: local ground conditions matter for your walk; if you want to draw water, check on site whether the condition of the spring allows it.

Náš Mlýn and Special Occasions

The Náš Mlýn project is dedicated to reviving Ochozský mlýn in Rakovské údolí on the edge of Ochoz u Konice. DEN U NÁS is a 24-hour gastronomic experience that brings together nature, traditions, crafts, art and cuisine. The concept therefore extends beyond a single culinary focus. If several of these themes interest you, combining them offers a distinct reason to travel, alongside visiting the chapels or walking in the valley.

Náš Mlýn also offers a venue for wedding receptions. Guests can rent the rooms for a few days to host a private event. This is a different occasion from DEN U NÁS: with a room rental, you plan your own celebration, while the gastronomic experience brings together various themes. If a wedding or another private event is the reason for your trip, the option of renting for several days is the relevant detail.

Plan Around an Event Date

One of the major events in Ochoz is Svatováclavské vepřové hody; the date may vary. If you want to visit for this event, check the specific date in advance. Unlike the historical dates associated with the chapels, the event date determines the details of your trip planning.
