Discover Polerady: History, Festivals and Cycling Route

Polerady combines a lively festival tradition, historical traces and a documented cycling route with manageable themes for travel planning. Families travelling together can choose between a special event date, memories of former buildings, water and technology history, and a cycling tour. This combination makes Polerady a place that you can get to know not only through a single attraction, but through several different approaches.

Festivals and special dates in Polerady

The Poleradské slavnosti are regarded as annual festivals that were revived in the 1990s and today take place on the first Saturday in July. The 2026 edition took place from 9:00 a.m. on 4 July 2026 until 2:00 a.m. on 5 July 2026 at Polerady's municipal sports ground. This provides a specific date for your planning, while the festival tradition remains a recurring feature of the town.

Historical traces between the chapel, spring and railway

The former Chapel of Saint Anne is part of the town's history. It was completed in 1935, dedicated to Saint Anne and demolished in the 1950s. Another historical reference leads to the hill of Glockenberg, which is now called Na Zvonu. Polerady had a historic bell tower there as early as 1701.

The restored Studánka spring also tells of living conditions in the past. Because of its water properties, it was formerly used by local households to wash large quantities of laundry. An information series about the restored spring and the viaduct in Polerady begins at a board in front of the entrance gate by the former sand pit. This makes it possible to explore the town's history through specific stations and explanations.

For railway enthusiasts, the former Počerady–Havraň–Vrskmaň local railway is one of the notable historical topics. The approximately 18-kilometre-long local railway began operating on 1 March 1887. Polerady u Mostu was a stopping point on this former route at kilometre 4.0. The railway is therefore not a current means of transport, but part of the historical development that you can take into account when exploring Polerady.

Cycling and water as further travel ideas

The Mostecký okruh cycling route passes through Polerady between Volevčice and Nemilkov. The Mostecký okruh is 35 kilometres long and has little elevation gain. According to the route description, it is suitable for cross, trekking and mountain bikes.

Polerady's sports facilities also include a natural swimming pool. Together with the cycling route, it expands the choice between active exercise and a stay with a stronger connection to water and landscape. When choosing where to stay, it can therefore be helpful to consider whether you mainly want to discover Polerady through its history, the festival date or the cycling route.
