Discover Bořetín

Bořetín combines a distinctive landscape with small, clearly distinguishable discoveries: a historic chapel, a Stations of the Cross route, bodies of water on the outskirts of the village and cycling routes through the surrounding area. If you are looking for a place for your stay with a connection to nature, cultural points of interest and various options for active days, Bořetín offers several specific starting points for this.

Landscape Between Forests and Ponds

Geomorphologically, Bořetín lies on the edge of the southwestern part of the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands. This classification describes the location of the village within a landscape shaped by its terrain. To the north, the upper course of the Hojovský stream forms the boundary of the cadastral area of Bořetín. The same stream flows through the “Bukovec” forest complex.

The surrounding area is also characterised by ponds and forests. They surround Bořetín and are rich in mushrooms and blueberries. Alongside the routes, these natural landscape elements therefore also come to the fore and may shape the character of your stay. Those who primarily consider a rural setting and destinations for outdoor activities when choosing accommodation will find various thematic points of interest in Bořetín, without having to reduce the village to a single attraction.

Mostkova Chapel and the Stations of the Cross

The Mostkova Chapel is the oldest building in Bořetín. There are orientation signs and a sundial at the chapel. This makes it not only a historic landmark but also a place with specific details to notice while exploring the village.

Another way to explore the village on foot is the Stations of the Cross. It begins at the local chapel in the centre of Bořetín. There is a map there showing the route. The Stations of the Cross is approximately 4 km long. For planning your day, this creates a clear distinction between a short village-focused walk and a longer cycling tour connecting Bořetín with Psárov and the summit of U Mostkovy kapličky.

Cycling Routes for Different Day Plans

The Choustník cycling excursion is approximately 35 km long without any detours. Its route leads from Psárov to Bořetín and includes the climb to the 626 m-high summit of U Mostkovy kapličky. The approximate length should be retained as such when planning, as it explicitly applies to the version without detours.

The area around Bořetín is crossed by numerous tourist routes suitable for families with children and experienced cyclists. This range is relevant when choosing the day's programme: families can look for suitable routes in the surrounding area, while experienced cyclists can take into account the described excursion with its climb.

Water Activities on the Outskirts of the Village

There is a natural swimming pool on the outskirts of Bořetín. The Návesní rybník in Bořetín offers a different option and has been used for sport fishing for many years. The two destinations represent different forms of leisure by the water: the natural swimming pool is located on the outskirts of the village, while the Návesní rybník is associated with a long-documented use for sport fishing.
