Discover Počedělice on the Ohře

Počedělice lies on the left bank of the Ohře in the hinterland of the České středohoří Protected Landscape Area. The landscape is predominantly used for agriculture. Forests cover only a small part of the municipality; they are located in the Ohře Valley southwest of Volenice. The river area forms a natural link between the open agricultural landscape and the wooded areas in the valley. In this way, the village combines a riverside landscape, a rural character and a remarkable village history.

The Ohře Cycling Route and the Landscape

The Ohře Cycling Route No. 6 passes through Počedělice. It continues to Litoměřice, where it connects to the Elbe Cycling Route No. 2. The overarching Ohře Cycling Route runs from the river’s source between the Bavarian towns of Bischofsgrün and Bad Weißenstadt to Litoměřice. Počedělice is therefore a specific place on a cycling route whose course follows the river over considerable distances. If you enjoy combining travel with landscape experiences and cycling, this connection to the route is an important part of the village’s character.

The Village Square, Flood Marker and Church History

Počedělice was founded as a market village with a regular square village green. Its regular layout makes the historic center perceptible as a cohesive space. A stone cross stands in the western part of the village square. It marks the water level reached during the devastating flood of February 2, 1862, making a historic event visible at the site itself.

The protected grounds of the Church of Saint Gall include the church, the surrounding wall, a stone cross, 16 cast-iron crosses and the enclosed plots. The church was built in the late Romanesque style. It was expanded in the Gothic style in the 14th century before its western façade was remodeled in the Baroque style in 1760. The various construction phases thus form a development from the Middle Ages to the Baroque period. The building’s history spans several eras and complements the regularly laid-out village square with a particularly multifaceted cultural experience.

Discoveries Open to the Public

The Zdeněk Sýkora memorial panel in Počedělice is open to the public year-round. It therefore provides a permanent point of interest for exploring the village, regardless of any particular event period. The sports and tourism event Počedělská šlápota was held in Počedělice in 2024 and 2026, adding an active aspect to the village’s cultural appeal. If you are traveling with children, also note that each of the settlements belonging to the municipality of Počedělice has a new playground.
