Bochovice

Bochovice can be identified by several specific features: the Chapel of St. Anne, a memorial in the village square, and a farmstead with remnants of Art Nouveau ornamentation. The hilly landscape and the Bochovice–Mrákotiny geological site also shape the view of the surrounding area. When planning your trip, you can consider whether architectural styles and local history, or landscape and geology, should play a greater role in your stay.

Chapel of St. Anne

The Chapel of St. Anne in Bochovice is a bell tower with a chapel on the ground floor; the building dates from 1887. Its design brings together two aspects that can be considered side by side: the bell tower and the chapel space on the ground floor. Regular services are not held there. If you plan to attend a service, check the current situation in advance. For visitors interested in architectural styles, the chapel offers a clearly defined focus, while other local features are more closely connected with remembrance and decoration.

Memorial and Farmstead

A memorial to the fallen stands in Bochovice’s village square. Another local feature is farmstead No. 3, whose carved gable retains remnants of Art Nouveau ornamentation. The two features create different points of focus. The memorial commemorates the fallen, while the farmstead displays ornamentation on a single gable. If you are interested in cultural history, you can explore two different aspects of the townscape: a memorial in the village square and a decorative trace on a farmstead.

Landscape and Elevation

Bochovice is part of the Třebíčsko Nature Park; the landscape is predominantly hilly. The village has hills more than 550 metres high. The nature park designation and the terrain describe the landscape in different ways: one through its landscape classification, the other through the height of its hills. If you also choose your stay based on the character of the landscape, you can consider these features alongside the built features of the village.

Geological Site and Access

The Bochovice–Mrákotiny geological site is located in fields northwest of Bochovice, between the 568-metre elevation point and the village. The name identifies the site; its location in the fields and its relation to the elevation point place it in the landscape. This adds a specific geological point of reference to the local features.

The site can be reached by car without restrictions or a driving ban; the access route comes to within 250 metres of it. Check field conditions on site. When planning a visit to this landscape feature, take into account both the stated distance from the access route and the conditions in the fields.

Cycling in Bochovice

A regional article from 2024 describes cycle route 5112 as passing through the cadastral area of Bochovice. Cycling adds another point of reference for planning your trip alongside the village’s local and landscape features. Different interests can therefore be combined: architectural styles and local history, geology and landscape, and a cycle route whose course is associated with the cadastral area.
