Discover Poběžovice u Holic

Those who choose Poběžovice u Holic for a trip will encounter a mix of marked trails, forest landscapes, distinctive landscape features and local history. Several specific facets shape the area: hiking trails and cycling connections, views from elevated locations, natural formations with notable plant populations, and a historical and religious monument.

Trails for different day plans

Poběžovice u Holic is home to a motocross spectator area. Two marked hiking trails begin in Holice and Horní Jelení respectively and head in different directions. The blue-marked hiking trail leads from Holice through Poběžovice u Holic and onward through the Hradec Forest to the Suté Břehy recreational settlement. The green-marked trail leads from Horní Jelení towards Vysoké Chvojno to the arboretum and through the Hradec forests to Hradec Králové. An arboretum is a landscaped collection of various woody plants. The route via the arboretum leads to Hradec Králové, while the other route ends at the Suté Břehy recreational settlement.

Two specific cycling connections also pass through Poběžovice u Holic. Cycle Route 181 connects Hradec Králové with Choceň, passing through Bělečko, Vysoké Chvojno and Horní Jelení. Cycle Route 4161 runs through the area between Podlesí and Nová Ves. The two cycle routes therefore differ both in their endpoints and in the places located along the route. Route 181 passes through three intermediate locations, while Route 4161 is described as running between Podlesí and Nová Ves.

Forest, views and distinctive landscape formations

The elevated location of Poběžovice u Holic offers views of nearby places, Kunětická hora, the Krkonoše Mountains, the Orlické Mountains and the Železné Mountains. Kunětická hora appears in these views as a single mountain, while the Krkonoše, Orlické and Železné Mountains appear as mountain regions. The forests around Poběžovice u Holic are visited by mushroom pickers. Families with children go walking there.

Two registered significant landscape elements differ markedly in form. Studená voda is a valley with populations of giant horsetail. Kamenecká stráň is a marlstone steppe slope with populations of rare plant species. A steppe slope is an open hillside with steppe-like vegetation; marlstone is a calcareous, clay-rich rock. The valley and the steppe slope thus represent two different landscape types within the surroundings of Poběžovice u Holic.

Local history and small points of orientation

The first surviving written record of Poběžovice u Holic dates from 1494. A single architectural and commemorative feature also shapes the religious character of the area: the crucifix is the only historical and religious monument in Poběžovice u Holic. A crucifix depicts Jesus on the cross. The local history therefore includes both the early written record and a specific monument in the present-day townscape.
