Hvozdná: Educational Trail, Theatre and Church History

You can choose where to stay in Hvozdná based on specific interests: the educational trail explores the names of its locations, the Church of All Saints offers historical points of interest, and Divadlo Hvozdná represents the amateur theatre tradition. If you are considering Hvozdná as a destination, you can tailor your visit to your interests in place-name history, sacred art, theatre and cycling.

Educational Trail and Cycle Route

The Hvozdná educational trail has nine stops. Information boards explain the place name of each location and how it originated; the trail is dedicated to the recipients of the Hvozdná Municipality commemorative medal. The focus is therefore not only on the stops, but on the place names themselves: if you enjoy tracing how local names came about, each stop offers its own topic. The trail’s distinctive approach is to connect the place names with their respective locations rather than treating them simply as labels.

Cycle route 5036 offers another specific point of reference for planning a bike ride. From Hvozdná, the route to the U Větřáku junction follows this cycle route and has a steady incline. If you would like to include a cycling leg in your visit to Hvozdná, this gives you a named destination and a specific feature of the route.

Church of All Saints

The Church of All Saints in Hvozdná was built in 1784. The altar painting, created in 1890, represents another period in the church’s history: alongside Czech patron saints, it depicts the so-called Fourteen Holy Helpers. The historic bells also include two large bells dating from 1598 and 1642. The building, altar painting and bells thus point to different periods. The church dates from the late 18th century, the painting from the late 19th century, and the two bells bear the years 1598 and 1642.

Theatre History

The amateur theatre tradition in Hvozdná dates back to 1909; the Divadlo Hvozdná theatre building opened in 1929. The start of the local theatre tradition and the opening of the building are therefore twenty years apart. The Kroužek divadelních ochotníků from Hvozdná was selected five times for the national showcase of rural theatre companies in Vysoké nad Jizerou. These details provide specific dates for both the long-standing tradition and the history of the theatre building.

Argalaška and Cultural Events

The municipal magazine dated 23 March 2026 describes a concert tradition by Jiří Březík that continues in the area of the Argalaška pond. The same issue mentions that the Lovka grounds are used for other cultural events.

For the Argalaška pond, the operator offers day, weekend and annual fishing permits. Day permits allow one carp and two crucian carp; weekend permits allow two carp and four crucian carp. Annual permits are available in limited numbers. If fishing is part of your travel plans, compare the permits by their respective catch limits and check that your preferred permit is available before travelling.
