Discover Chudeřice

Chudeřice among cycle routes, a spring, and village history

Chudeřice is a place where cycle routes, an accessible mineral water borehole, and small historical landmarks come together. Alongside exploring the surrounding area, this also brings the history of the place itself into focus: it can be seen in a structure, a relocated stone cross, and the origin of the name. This creates a destination whose character cannot be defined by just one individual attraction.

Cycling through the surrounding area

The marked Cycle Route 4272 runs through Měník, Kosičky, Káranice, Chudeřice, Chýšť, and Sopřeč. Chudeřice lies between Káranice and Chýšť.

For cyclists, this brings together a connection through several places and a direct route through Chudeřice.

The Chudeřanka mineral spring

A distinctive feature of the place is the Chudeřanka mineral water borehole. It is located in the built-up area of Chudeřice and is accessible. The water is highly mineralized and was drilled at a depth of almost 500 metres. Its location in the built-up area is just as much a part of its connection to the place as its accessibility. Chudeřanka is characterized by highly mineralized water; it was drilled at a depth of almost 500 metres.

Small historical details in the village

The bell tower of Chudeřice dates from 2011 and has a new bell. The exact year of construction and the new bell are two specific features of this structure.

Another historical detail is the stone cross near House No. 11 in Chudeřice. It dates from the 19th century and was relocated in 1972. Its present location is therefore also part of its history. During a walk, you can look out for this specific landmark and connect its older origins with its later relocation.

A place name with a family origin

Even the name Chudeřice points to the place's past. It is derived from the family name of the Chuder people. This linguistic-historical explanation adds a less obvious layer to the visible points of interest in the village: Chudeřice can be discovered not only through cycle routes, a spring, and structures, but also through the origin of its name. The name Chudeřice is derived from the family name of the Chuder people; this origin can be recognized in the place name.
