Sekeřice – Natural Area and Local Traditions

Sekeřice is a destination for travellers who want to combine natural areas and local history in a Czech holiday destination. The village lies on the northeastern edge of the Žlunské polesí Protected Landscape Area. The 231-hectare Žlunické polesí Nature Monument is also located nearby. This gives your trip planning a clear thematic focus: you can consider Sekeřice a starting point for exploring protected landscapes, local history and traditional events.

Natural Area between a Protected Landscape Area and a Nature Monument

The Žlunské polesí Protected Landscape Area provides the geographical setting for Sekeřice. Nearby Žlunické polesí is designated as a nature monument covering 231 hectares. You should pay close attention to both names when planning, as they describe different protected areas. Visitors interested in landscapes and protected areas will find a specific focus for preparing their trip here, without having to limit their stay to a single attraction.

The place called Na Kostelíku is also useful for orientation in Sekeřice: it is designated as the highest point in the village, at 298 metres above sea level. This figure provides a clear geographical reference for visitors who want to explore the surrounding area and its elevation. Families may find it interesting to discover such local details together and connect the names of landscapes, nature monuments and notable points.

Historical Traces in Sekeřice

Sekeřice was a historic seat of the Sekeřice estate owners. This past gives the village an additional cultural dimension. Alongside the natural area, the village's history is therefore also a central theme. If you are not looking exclusively for experiences in nature but want to understand the character of a destination through its former function, this historical connection provides a meaningful starting point.

The combination of protected areas and local history allows for different travel interests. You can focus on natural themes, explore the historical significance of Sekeřice or take both perspectives into account when planning your days.

Forest Walks and Traditional Events

A forest walk held in 2018 and focused on Žlunické polesí began at the cattle shed in Sekeřice and included eleven stops. As a past event format, it shows how the natural area was incorporated into a local activity. If you are interested in themed walks, this earlier forest walk is a concrete example of the connection between Sekeřice and the nearby nature monument.

Traditional events are also part of the local annual calendar. The event “Pálení čarodějnic + Májová diskotéka” takes place in Sekeřice on 30 April at the “U lesa” grounds; for 2026, it was scheduled for 30 April. The traditional “Posvícenská zábava” also took place in Sekeřice at the “U lesa” grounds, specifically on the last Saturday in August. For your travel planning, it is important to assign the respective dates precisely: the date of 30 April 2026 belongs to the event mentioned above, while the last Saturday in August is given for the Posvícenská zábava.
