Discover Bácovice

When planning a trip to Bácovice, there are several different attractions to consider: a blue-marked historic trail passes through the village, the preserved Červený Mlýn mill is located in the cadastral area of Bácovice, and a route classified as challenging passes via the “Bácovice roz.” waypoint. There is also a viewpoint at an elevation of 574 metres and a sports field that is freely accessible around the clock. This makes it easy to plan your stay around specific interests: a trail, a cycling tour, or the history of buildings and the village. If you are looking for a hotel for your trip, these topics can help you get a sense of Bácovice as a destination.

Historic trail and viewpoint

The blue-marked historic trail passes through Bácovice and runs between Červená Řečice and Pelhřimov. Before reaching Bácovice, a path branches off behind the chapel to a viewpoint at an elevation of 574 metres. If you plan to visit it, bear in mind that access and trail conditions may change; check the current situation before your visit. For orientation, these are two distinct points of reference: a marked connection between places and a viewpoint with an elevation listed.

Cycling route: distance and difficulty

The “Trasa po pokladech Pelhřimovska” cycling route is 53 kilometres long and classified as difficult. It passes via the “Bácovice roz.” waypoint. Compared with the historic trail, its distance, difficulty rating, and waypoint can be set against the blue markings and route between Červená Řečice and Pelhřimov. This lets you distinguish between the two routes by their respective nature and specific planning details. Practical route information may change; check the latest details before setting out.

Buildings and architecture

The preserved Červený Mlýn mill is located in the cadastral area of Bácovice. The wayside chapel near Bácovice received new interior plaster and new doors during a volunteer repair project; the work was reported on in 2016. The mill and the wayside chapel represent different aspects of building history: the preservation of a mill and specific work on a nearby chapel.

Farmhouse No. 3 contains a two-bay barn dating from the first half of the 19th century; its features include a groin vault and stone columns with plain capitals. A capital is the top part of a column. The terms refer to different architectural elements: the vault describes the ceiling’s form, the capitals the tops of the columns, while the two-bay layout characterizes the barn’s design. For architecture enthusiasts, this makes not only the building’s age but also its specific construction features tangible.

Location and sports field

Bácovice lies on the left bank of the Hejlovka River. The term “left bank” is defined in relation to the direction of the river’s flow and specifies the village’s geographical location. The sports field in Bácovice is freely accessible around the clock. For travellers who want to do more than just follow a route, it offers another option in its own right; its round-the-clock access provides a clear point of reference for planning your day.
