Discover Pětikozly

Pětikozly combines local history with a clear connection to cycling, offering two different ways to plan your trip. The townscape, memorial features, and historic estate are complemented by a cycling route that places the village within a longer route network.

A Municipal Chronicle with a Clear Time Frame

The municipal chronicle of Pětikozly was started in 1935. In retrospect, it was written from the earliest history of the municipality through to 1938. For you, this provides a clear time frame: the account begins with the origins and extends to an explicitly specified year. This adds a chronological perspective to the individual points of interest in the village. Those who enjoy following historical connections while on holiday will find a starting point here for viewing Pětikozly as a place with its own historical narrative.

The Townscape and Memorial Features

Pětikozly features folk architecture. If you pay attention to regional building styles while exploring, you can consciously make this aspect of the village a focus. Pětikozly also has a memorial cross. The architecture and the cross create different points of emphasis: here, the townscape is central; there, a single memorial feature takes centre stage. Together with the municipal chronicle, they provide various starting points for a quiet exploration of the village and its past.

The Former Pětikozly Hunting Lodge

The history of the former Pětikozly hunting lodge is particularly complex. It has been documented as an estate recorded in the land register since 1540 and was built on the site of an earlier fortress. In terms of the historical context of the village, the estate thus connects two periods: the earlier fortress and the estate documented since 1540. Important for your planning: the former hunting lodge is currently not open to the public. You can therefore include its history in your exploration of the village, but should not plan to visit the building as an attraction currently open to visitors.

To Pětikozly on the KČT Cycling Route

Pětikozly also has a clearly described connection to cycling. After passing through Březovice and Katusice, KČT cycling route No. 143 follows a turn-off to Pětikozly. After this turn-off, the route passes through Rokytovec and enters the Jizera Valley.

The turn-off is therefore the key reference point when planning a cycling trip. It separates the section leading to Pětikozly from the continuation via Rokytovec into the Jizera Valley. Depending on your preferred focus, the route can thus be viewed as a ride to Pětikozly or as a connection extending to the Jizera Valley. This cycling connection complements the village’s historical themes with a specific way to incorporate Pětikozly into a longer route.
