Sazomín can be explored through a few distinctive places: Kaplička stands by the long village green, and Kavka is beside the central playground. The Oslava is also an important landmark: the fishing district ends at the weir, and a section where fishing is prohibited begins upstream.

Kaplička: bell tower and village green

The tall, slender bell tower of Kaplička dates from the second half of the 19th century. Together with its location in the centre by a long village green, it gives the building a distinctive architectural and local character. The chapel was repaired in 1925 and again in 2013. These widely spaced dates add two later moments in its preservation to the building’s history. For those interested in culture, they offer different perspectives: the tower points to the historic architectural style, while the repairs reflect the building’s later care.

Kavka and Socha Krista: two cultural landmarks

The concrete figure Kavka was unveiled in Sazomín on 24 June 2017 as part of celebrations marking the 700th anniversary of the municipality’s first written mention. As a symbol of the municipality, it connects a specific event in the more recent history of the village with a clearly identified location: Kavka stands beside the children’s playground in the centre. The landmark thus brings together its significance to the municipality, the anniversary occasion and its location in the village centre.

Socha Krista is a different point of interest. It is not located in a central square, but in the shed of farmstead No. 1. It is registered as a cultural monument under number 23151/7-4509. Its precise location and registration number distinguish this landmark from Kaplička by the village green and Kavka by the playground. Together, the three places offer different ways to explore Sazomín’s cultural history.

Oslava: fishing district and protected section

The weir at the road bridge in Sazomín is the key landmark for finding your way along the Oslava: the Oslava 8 fishing district extends as far as this point. The river section upstream of the weir, ending at the road bridge in Nové Veselí, is separate. This section is used for fish breeding, and fishing is prohibited there. If you plan to fish, check the current restrictions in advance, as fishing regulations may change.
