Černá U Bohdanče

Černá u Bohdanče combines a tangible village history with a landscape in which the cycling route, waterways and Písníky create distinctive accents.

Village History and Traces in the Center

The first mentions of Černá u Bohdanče date back to the 14th century. It is recorded that in 1377 Albert of Cimburk sold the village to Opatovice Monastery. In 1588, a manorial land register recorded milling as one of the trades practiced in Černá u Bohdanče. These two historical references lead from medieval records to a specific former trade of the village.

The center of Černá u Bohdanče contains three different examples of local remembrance: a wooden bell tower, a stone cross and a monument to the fallen. Those who are not looking for just one individual sight during a walk through the village can experience these features as connected stops in the village’s history. They make the center a destination for anyone who wants to discover the character of a small historic village through individual, manageable details.

Water Landscape, Mill and Velká Černá

The Rajská struha flows through Černá u Bohdanče and empties into the Labe. Cepl Mill on a struha dates back to the 17th century.

The nearby area around Černá u Bohdanče also contains Labiště pod Černou, a significant landscape feature.

Cycling and Events with Specific Dates

The 10 km cycling route 4041 leads from Lázně Bohdaneč via Černá u Bohdanče and Živanice to Mělice.

A traditional witch-burning bonfire was announced at the Velká Černá sand quarry for April 30, 2026. This date is already in the past; the event should therefore not be understood as a current date.
