The marked regional cycling route no. 241 passes through the village, while the Zábrdka stream flows through Horní Bukovina.

The various destinations appeal to different interests for a day out. The cycling route and riding facility represent active pursuits, while Zábrdka, Mimřina, the chapel, the circular village green and Kristiánov complement the character of the village from landscape, religious and historical perspectives. This means that different priorities for different interests can coexist within the village without requiring a specific travel itinerary in advance. Those looking for accommodation in Horní Bukovina can therefore choose their preferred focus from cycling, landscapes, horse riding and cultural history.

Cycling and Views

The marked regional cycling route no. 241 runs through Horní Bukovina. Cycling is therefore a clearly identifiable part of the village's profile, without any particular route length or difficulty level being assumed. For experiencing the landscape, the Zábrdka stream provides another specific point of reference: it flows through Horní Bukovina and is therefore an immediate part of the village landscape.

Mimřina is a special viewpoint. From there, views extend to Bezděz and Drábské světničky. The viewpoint complements the route and the stream with an elevated perspective on the landscape. Those who would like to combine different interests when planning their trip will therefore find both a marked cycling connection and a place with distant views in Horní Bukovina.

Kristiánov and Sacred Sites

The Kristiánov agricultural farm complex is located in Horní Bukovina. Its history goes back to 1834: Kristián Waldštejn had the dilapidated estate buildings of the farm rebuilt; the farm was subsequently renamed “Kristiánov” in his honor. The local history can thus be traced through a specific complex whose name still refers to this development today.

Horní Bukovina is also home to the Chapel of Saint John of Nepomuk. It provides another cultural landmark in the village. A circular village green, meaning a village green laid out in a circle, is also part of the village's distinctive appearance. These different points of interest also make Horní Bukovina appealing to travelers looking for small discoveries of cultural history in addition to an active pursuit.

Horse Riding for Different Levels

Jízdárna Žák in Horní Bukovina is open to beginners, advanced riders and groups. The facility includes stables, an indoor riding arena and an outdoor riding area. The riding offer is thus described according to experience level and group size, while not being limited to a single type of stay. Together with the cycling route, this creates a diverse picture of the possible activities, while the viewpoint, chapel and Kristiánov offer different focuses.
