Discover Starý Bozdechov

For a stay in Starý Bozdechov, local memorial sites and cycling routes through the village and its surroundings offer different areas of focus. If you are looking for a hotel for a trip here, you can choose your destination based on local history or cycling. The specific places and tours below offer starting points for doing so.

Memorial Sites and Local History

A memorial plaque commemorating the local partisan movement is located at the former school building in Starý Bozděchov. Another local feature is the bell structure known as Šrák: it consists of two poles connected to each other. A memorial and a specific type of structure thus stand side by side. If you are planning your trip around local history, you can consider the memory of the partisan movement and the form of the Šrák as separate aspects. A historic route is also part of this subject: it later became a road and connected the Bozděchov fortress with Jindřichův Hradec. This route represents a different historical context from the local memorial plaque: it was a link between the fortress and Jindřichův Hradec.

The names and types of other memorial sites can also help you find your bearings: Kaplička u Starého Bozděchova is a chapel in the cadastral area of Starý Bozděchov; Kříž severně od Starého Bozděchova is a wayside cross in the same cadastral area. Památník stromu svobody ve starém Bozděchově is also a memorial site there.

One limitation concerns Kříž v poli u Starého Bozděchova: the wayside cross lies ploughed into a field and has no access path. Check the conditions on site if you are considering a visit.

Landscape and Cycling Routes

A notable tree in Starý Bozděchov is one of the area’s landscape features. The Stržená hráz natural monument is also located nearby; it covers 8 ha and was designated a natural monument in 1977. These represent two different scales for understanding the natural environment: a single landscape feature in the village and an extensive natural monument in the surrounding area.

A cycling tour starting in Nová Včelnice passes through Nový Bozděchov and Starý Bozděchov, then continues through the forest past several ponds. A longer tour in the area goes via Horní Radouň, Starý Bozděchov and Bukovka to the Stržená hráz natural monument. From Bukovka, it follows cycling route No. 1215 and then either a blue-marked hiking route or a convenient unmarked forest path. In terms of choosing a route, the first tour includes forest and ponds after passing through the villages; the longer route connects additional named places with the natural monument and offers two options from Bukovka. This lets you choose between the cycling options based on the routes described and the stated destination.
