Pletený Újezd

Pletený Újezd between the slope, forest and panoramic views

Pletený Újezd lies on a gentle slope at the foot of Kožova hora, which rises to 456 m above sea level. The village therefore combines a clearly recognizable mountain setting with a specific connection to the landscape. To the northwest, the Kožova Forest borders Pletený Újezd. The gentle slope, Kožova hora and the Kožova Forest form three distinct elements of the village landscape. If you are planning a trip with different interests, you can combine nature, culture and activity.

A landscape with a far-reaching horizon

From the observation tower on Kožova hora, the distant view extends across the entire Central Bohemian Uplands to the border mountains. This broad geographical setting gives Pletený Újezd a distinct landscape theme. If you value striking views and a sense of regional orientation on your trip, Kožova hora is one of the defining points of reference. The view extends beyond the immediate surroundings and opens up a perspective across the larger landscapes of Bohemia. This can be helpful when planning a trip together: you can devote one day more to the landscape, while local history, events or sport take center stage elsewhere.

History and culture with specific points of reference

At the forest crossroads known as “U obrázku”, there is a tradition associated with an image of the Virgin Mary that dates back to 1651. The former farmstead No. 5, with its residential building, gateway and farm buildings, is a cultural monument of the Kladno District. The chapel was completely reconstructed in 2014. In Pletený Újezd, you can also attend various cultural events, exhibitions and dance events. In addition to the landscape experience, the village therefore offers historical points of reference and a cultural program. The historical sites differ in character: the forest crossroads represent a long-standing tradition, the farmstead represents rural architectural history, and the chapel represents a reconstruction from 2014. This allows you to combine culture and landscape in your daily itinerary.

Cycling route and sports facilities

There is also a specific point of reference for active travel plans: the 32 km KO 8 cycling route, “Unhošťský okruh”, runs through Pletený Újezd. The route length helps you clearly distinguish it in your planning from shorter or longer projects; no further information about its course or duration is implied. As part of the local sports facilities, TJ Meteor Pletený Újezd has three sports areas: a football pitch, a multifunctional artificial-turf field and a tennis court. The football pitch, multifunctional field and tennis court represent different sports that you can consider separately when planning your trip. A booking system is available for the multifunctional field and the tennis court, allowing you to reserve times. This means that, alongside the landscape and culture, you can also include cycling and sport as separate focuses when planning your trip.
