Dubovice: Discover Cycling Routes, Landscapes and Chapels

Dubovice amid cycling routes, landscapes and history

Dubovice combines diverse landscape experiences with small historical discoveries. If you would like to combine activity, wide-open views and culture in manageable stages during your trip, you will find various points of interest here: an official cycling route passes through the village, a circular route explores the area around Pelhřimov, and several chapels as well as a monument give the village its own historical character.

Cycling and hiking around Pelhřimov

The official cycling route Okolo vodních mlýnů passes through Dubovice. It runs through a picturesque landscape above Pelhřimov, making it a clear focus for anyone who would like to discover the surrounding area by bicycle.

Another option is the Pelhřimov Ring II, a 47.5 km circular route around Pelhřimov. The access to Dubovice on this circular route includes a 5 km section on an unpaved road before the route reaches a paved road. This specific sequence of sections is useful for orientation when choosing a suitable tour.

Before Dubovice, the Pelhřimov Ring II offers views across the landscape from the Hajlovka Valley to the peaks of Stražiště, at 744 m above sea level, and Svidník, at 740 m above sea level. The circular route also passes through a valley at an elevation of almost 600 m before Dubovice. This means that a tour focuses not only on the route length but also on various types of landscape.

Chapels and local history

Dubovice is home to the simple Neo-Baroque Chapel of St. Nicholas, built in 1850. It can be seen from a hill along the Pelhřimov Ring II. It is also believed that the chapel was commissioned by followers of Mikuláš z Vlásenice. Dubovice is also home to the Chapel of the Most Holy Trinity.

A monument commemorates the incorporation of Dubovice into Pelhřimov. Together with the two chapels, it creates a cultural aspect that can be combined with routes through the landscape, without limiting the stay to a single attraction.

Accommodation and varied excursion ideas

For accommodation planning, Váňův statek in Dubovice is a clearly described option: accommodation and a restaurant are offered at one location. The establishment does not operate regularly and only receives guests who have registered in advance. This information is important if you would like to include an overnight stay in Dubovice in your travel plans.

Seasonal differences can also be taken into account in the wider surrounding area. In the Pelhřimov Horská Kvilda area, people cycle in summer and go cross-country skiing in winter. Depending on the time of year, this means that different types of activities are available in the region.
