Discover Kejžlice: Nature, Culture and Cycling

Kejžlice lies in a valley through the centre of which the Pstružný stream flows. Together with the Kamenná trouba Nature Reserve, the chapel in the village and local cycle route 1214, this creates a destination where you can combine the landscape, culture and an active day trip.

Landscape and Protected Nature

The Kamenná trouba Nature Reserve extends across the cadastral territory of Kejžlice and the cadastral territory of Lipnice nad Sázavou. It protects wet meadow ecosystems as well as endangered plant and animal species that depend on this habitat. For planning your excursions, this provides a clear connection with nature: you can combine this protected area with cultural attractions and the cycle route without reducing the character of the village to just one theme. This is particularly useful when travelling with differing interests: one day can be devoted to the protected landscape, and another to the route or a cultural discovery.

Culture in Kejžlice

The Chapel of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus is located in Kejžlice. Services are held there every other Thursday: at 4:00 p.m. from 1 November until Easter and at 6:00 p.m. from Easter until 31 October. If you plan around this time, please check the current information. The Orlík ruins are located in the vicinity of Kejžlice and add to the cultural points of interest.

Cycle Route and Local Events

Local cycle route 1214 leads from Kejžlice to Budíkov. This provides a specific connection for your route planning: Kejžlice is the starting point and Budíkov the destination of the route. The route can thus be combined with the village’s nature and cultural themes.

Den s koníkem Janýskem was scheduled in Kejžlice for 3 September 2022, as well as 15 September 2024 and 7 September 2025; the 2024 and 2025 dates were planned at the Cihelna pond. The Letní pouťový parket was scheduled in Kejžlice for 19 August 2023 and 15 August 2026.

Excursion Destinations in the Surrounding Area

The Melechov mountain, Špičák mountain and Želivský Kláštor monastery are located around Kejžlice. In the wider regional area are Ostojovka mountain [Ledeč nad Sázavou-Souboř], Vysoká mountain, and the churches of Svatá Anna and Svatý Jan. Distinguishing between the nearer and wider surroundings helps you determine the desired scope of your excursions.

When choosing accommodation in Kejžlice, you can therefore decide according to your preferred daily rhythm: cycling, the nature reserve, the chapel or regional excursion destinations each set a different focus. You should treat the event dates and service times as dated or regularly recurring information, respectively.
