Býkovice – Nature, Trails and History

Býkovice combines a distinctive landscape with trails, historic sites and a remarkable history. The Býkovka stream flows through the built-up area of the village. Nearby lies the Na Ohrazdě pond, a defining artificial landscape feature. At the same time, the Lysicko Nature Park extends across approximately the western half of Býkovice’s cadastral area. It is intended to support individual recreation in nature and makes the village an interesting choice for a stay in which you can combine nature, activity and culture.

Landscape in the Býkovka Valley

The Býkovka Valley is a significant landscape area within the Lysicko Nature Park. This means that several different landscape features meet in Býkovice: the stream in the built-up area, the pond near this area and approximately the western half of the cadastral area within the nature park. Another valuable natural habitat is “Čtvrtky za Bořím”. Rare orchid species find a particularly valuable habitat there; at the same time, the area has high ecological value. If you want to plan your stay around landscapes and nature experiences, these facts provide clear guidance without reducing the village to just one attraction.

Hiking and Cycling with Different Route Profiles

Two cycling routes and a yellow-marked hiking trail called “Údolím Býkovky” pass through Býkovice. The excursion route of the same name, “Údolím Býkovky”, is 14 km long and classified as moderately difficult. It leads from Kozárov via Kunčina Ves and Býkovice to Černá Hora. The length and classification help you distinguish this route from other excursion plans when organizing your trip.
