Přelíc: Church, Bell Tower and Džbán Nature Park

Přelíc appeals to travellers who want to combine cultural history and landscape in a single destination. The town offers both specific historical details and opportunities for outdoor activities. For your travel planning, you can therefore choose a focus on cultural history, the landscape or a combination of both.

Cultural history with unusual details

The Church of Saints Peter and Paul in Přelíc is a building dating from the second half of the 14th century. At its main entrance, it has a Romanesque portal made of marlstone, richly decorated with 23 quatrefoil motifs. The construction period, material and ornamentation give the site a clearly defined cultural-historical profile and offer several specific starting points for exploring its history. The combination of its medieval construction date, marlstone and 23 quatrefoil motifs directs attention to architectural details that can be readily connected with the history of the town.

In the western part of the cemetery in Přelíc stands a hexagonal wooden bell tower from the 17th century on a stone base. The bells also bear distinctive historical traces: the largest bell was cast in 1679 by Prague bell founder Bedřich Schönfeld; the middle bell dates from 1486 and bears a relief of Saint Peter. The bell tower can thus be explored through its shape, material and dated details.

Prehistoric traces in the surrounding area

The pagan burial ground uncovered near Přelíc in 1894 provides evidence of prehistoric settlement in the area. This finding broadens the perspective beyond the ecclesiastical buildings: the town's history thus includes not only the heritage of later centuries, but also an indication of much earlier settlement.

Hiking on the edge of Džbán Nature Park

A green-marked hiking trail runs through Přelíc. The town is also located on the edge of Džbán Nature Park, which was established in 1994. These two details give your travel planning a clear landscape perspective: you can view Přelíc as a destination with a historical focus or choose a stay in which the trail and natural environment play a greater role. Those who do not want to seek historical sites and nature in separate destinations can take both themes into account when choosing the location.

Accommodation and practical orientation in the town

When looking for accommodation in Přelíc, you can therefore first decide whether your stay should focus primarily on cultural history, the landscape or a combination of both. For your journey, you can also take into account the Přelíc, samota bus stop, which is served by bus route 627. This provides a specific public-transport connection for planning your visit.
