Discover Choratice: History, Cycling and Natural Landscape
Accommodation in Choratice
Choratice combines local history, cycling and protected landscape within a compact area. The village was first mentioned in writing in 1205. At the same time, the Sázava Cycle Route 1/B runs through Choratice and provides direct access to the surrounding area. For families and other travellers who would like to combine cultural discoveries with active days, this combination provides a good basis for further planning.
History and Villagescape
A visible cultural landmark is the Chapel of the Virgin Mary in Choratice. No regular services are held in the chapel. Those exploring the village can therefore view it primarily in the context of local history and the village landscape, without assuming that regular services are held there.
The settlement structure of Choratice includes former agricultural farmsteads around the village square. The historic character is therefore found not only in a single building but also in the arrangement of the former farmsteads. The written mention dating from 1205 and this preserved structure provide two different points of reference in time for visiting the village.
Cycling Around Sázava
The Sázava Cycle Route 1/B runs through Choratice. In addition, recommended circular cycling routes around Sázava are up to 30 km long. The cycle touring routes starting from Sázava combine roads, minor roads and forest paths. This creates various options for planning a day: one route passes through Choratice, the circular routes are up to 30 km long, and the routes starting from Sázava connect several types of paths. On a tour, you can plan Choratice as one section or choose a route starting from Sázava. The length of up to 30 km gives the circular routes a specific framework for a day trip. If you are travelling with children, you can take this length into account when planning your day. The different types of paths can also be incorporated into planning breaks and the pace of the day.
Orientation in the Natural Landscape
In the northern part of the cadastral area of Choratice, a protected area belonging to an supraregional ecological corridor extends into the area. In addition, according to the assessment of the Czech Nature Conservation Agency AOPK, the entire administrative area of Choratice is considered an area of importance for migration. In the north, the protected area concerns part of the cadastral area; by contrast, the AOPK assessment refers to the entire administrative area.
Which Location Suits Your Search?
When looking for a hotel in Choratice, the location within the village area may be relevant alongside your planned activities. The D1 motorway is located near the southern part of Choratice, while road II/110 runs through the northern part. The two transport routes are therefore located in different areas of the village. When choosing accommodation, its location can be taken into consideration for orientation within the village.
