Pasinovice – Cycling Route, Natural Monument and Local History

Pašinovice between Cycling, Nature and History

Pašinovice combines a signposted cycling route with a protected natural area and local history dating back to the Middle Ages.

Cycling through Pašinovice

Cycling Route 1131, which passes through Pašinovice, is considered moderately difficult and is suitable for mountain bikes and trekking bikes. Its signposted route runs through the village along the Dolní Stropnice – Plav – Pašinovice – Komařice – Sedlo u Komařic – Nežetice section. This makes it possible to include Pašinovice in a longer cycling tour. The combination of a signposted route, difficulty level and two suitable types of bicycle makes it easier to match your equipment to the planned tour. The route connects the passage through the village with a regional connection between several points. When preparing, you can take the difficulty and bicycle type into account together.

Pašínovická louka and its Protected Nature

A special connection with nature can be found at the Pašínovická louka natural monument. The natural monument and its protected zone cover part of the cadastral territory of Pašinovice. Pašínovická louka was first designated as a protected area on 24 September 1990. The area is home to a population of the protected spring snowflake (Leucojum vernum); the locality is also exceptional in terms of its extent. The protected zone refers to the cadastral territory, while the spring snowflake refers to the plant population of the locality. Its exceptional extent adds a spatial peculiarity to this botanical aspect. This gives you a clearly defined natural focus that differs from the cycling route's sporting orientation.

Local History with a Bell Tower and Milling Tradition

Pašinovice was first documented in 1371. The place name evolved through Pašiněvice, Pašňovice and Pašnojce before returning to Pašinovice.

The local sites of remembrance include the bell tower of Pašinovice, which stands near the monument to those who fell in the First World War. The minor noble Pašinovici also had their seat in Pašinovice. Another historical reference is the Nový mlýn mill: it is mentioned in church records for the period from 1656 to 1851 and is used for residential purposes. The different historical traces thus range from the first medieval reference to written records from the early modern period and the 19th century. The bell tower and the nearby monument form a local site of remembrance, while the seat of the Pašinovici and the mill used for residential purposes add further specific references to this historical focus.
