Discover Bukov

Bukov combines historical landmarks, regional cycling culture and a vibrant community life. If you are looking for a place with specific discoveries rather than interchangeable sights for your trip, you will find several different points of interest here: a church with medieval and Baroque details, castle ruins in the wider regional surroundings, a public bus service and a designated cycling route through Bukov.

Church with medieval and Baroque traces

The Kostel sv. Jakuba Většího church dates from around the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries. Its Gothic chancel preserves an altar with Baroque statues of Saint Barbara and Saint Catherine on either side.

The chancel also contains the gravestone of Jan Radešínský, who died in 1603. Another detail can be found in the tower, where three bells hang. The largest of them dates from 1530. Another historical detail is the Bukovský kámen. It was incorporated into the monument to the fallen of the First World War in 1926.

Lísek castle ruins in the wider surroundings

The Lísek castle ruins are located in the wider regional surroundings of Bukov. The Lísek castle ruins were formerly also known as Bukovec and Lejsek; they were probably built in the second half of the 13th century. The remains include part of a large round late Romanesque tower, as well as foundations and wall remnants of residential and farm buildings.

Exploring Bukov by bus and bicycle

For travel to Bukov and further planning, public bus route 841126 is relevant, as it serves Bukov. Anyone wishing to explore the surrounding area by bicycle can follow the “Zubří stezky – 5. Za Uranem” route. It passes via the Bukov/Lísek castle ruins and through Bukov.

These two details offer different approaches when searching for accommodation: the bus route is the documented public transport connection for the village, while the cycling route creates a specific link between Bukov and the castle ruins. When choosing your hotel or accommodation, check which of these focuses better suits your planned trip.

Local traditions and events

The present-day community life is also part of Bukov’s character. In addition to its firefighting duties, SDH Bukov is involved in cultural and sporting activities as well as work with children. Events it organizes include sports afternoons, St. Nicholas celebrations, carnival events and Christmas celebrations for children.

In the past, SDH Bukov also organized dances, church fairs and balls. Members also founded a local amateur theatre. Thus, alongside the historic buildings, community traditions also represent the development of the village.
