Přeskače: Church, Traditions and Cycling Route

Přeskače brings together architectural history, local traditions and cycling: the late Romanesque Church of All Saints, several traditions and Cycling Route 5006, which runs through the village, each offer a different focus. When planning your trip, the question is what you would like to focus on. Culture, a particular festival date or a cycling trip may each determine what you look for in a hotel.

Church of All Saints: Architectural History and Furnishings

The Church of All Saints is a late Romanesque rural religious building dating from between the late 11th century and the middle of the 13th century. This dating covers an extended period, not a single year of construction; it places the building in a medieval period. As a cultural monument, the church is a cultural and historical landmark. Baroque furnishings, including the altar and pulpit, have been restored inside. Two art-historical periods therefore meet here: the religious building is classified as late Romanesque, while the furnishings mentioned are Baroque. For a stay focused on culture, this contrast offers a specific point of interest.

Local Traditions and Festival Dates

Přeskačské posvícení is celebrated regularly on the last weekend of October. It includes a procession through the village and a maypole ceremony. Dates may change, so if you are planning your trip specifically around the festival, check the date for your travel period. Easter traditions include the boys’ rattling and a procession of girls carrying the figure of Smrtolka. There are also fire brigade celebrations connected with sport. The traditions thus encompass different occasions: posvícení in October, Easter customs, and celebrations bringing together the fire brigade and sport.

Cycling Route 5006 through Přeskače

Cycling Route No. 5006 Znojmo–Moravský Krumlov–Jevišovice runs through Přeskače and connects Znojmo, Moravský Krumlov and Jevišovice. It runs mostly along paved roads and is suitable for all types of bicycles. Along the way, forest and field sections alternate with vineyards and historic villages. This gives you two specific points of reference for assessing the route: its surface and suitability for different types of bicycles describe the route, while the changing landscape features are part of its appeal. If you are planning a cycling trip, you can include Přeskače as a stop along this connection and choose the route as a different focus from a stay centered on the church and local traditions.

Another Historical Point of Reference

In 2009, the underground visitor attraction, a grain pit and a small historical exhibition opened in Přeskače. The opening year provides a much later point of reference alongside the medieval dating of the Church of All Saints. The historical perspective thus encompasses both the late Romanesque religious building and the attractions that opened in 2009.
