Přešovice – Rokytná Landscape, Cycling Route and Local History

Přešovice combines a protected hilly landscape with a distinctive river setting, a regional cycling route and modest cultural traces in the village. This makes the village particularly suitable as a destination if you want your trip to bring together nature, physical activity and an insight into the history of a Czech municipality.

Between the Nature Park and the Rokytná

Rokytná Nature Park also extends across the cadastral area of Přešovice and covers an area of 2,870 hectares. It protects the character of the local hilly upland landscape, with the distinctive valley cut by the Rokytná and its numerous deeply incised meanders. The shape of the landscape is not the only factor that matters in understanding it: the nature park contains several Sites of Community Importance (SCIs) and a nature reserve.

Another protected area is the European protected area of the Řeka Rokytná, covering 123.678 hectares. In the vicinity of Přešovice, the meandering Rokytná River retains its natural landscape character, with old riverside trees and numerous rock formations. South of the built-up part of the village, the Rokytná also forms the boundary between the Vysočina Region and the South Moravian Region. The surroundings can therefore be understood not only as a river valley but also as a landscape on a regional boundary.

A cycling route with a specific connection to the village

For active days, the Mlynářská Trail is a clear point of reference. The cycling route runs through Rouchovany, Přešovice, Litovany and Biskupice-Pulkov. Its route through Přešovice is described in greater detail: it follows a farm track to Přešovice, crosses road III/4006 there, and then continues along road III/4007 to Litovany and onward towards Radkovice. Anyone looking for accommodation and wishing to combine their stay with a cycling trip can use this documented route as a concrete reference point for further planning, without reducing the landscape to a single excursion.

Local history and cultural traces

The built-up part of the village also offers points of interest in its own right. The Church of Saints Peter and Paul in Přešovice was built in 1908 in the Neo-Romanesque style. Přešovice also has a monument to the victims of the world wars. The traditional pilgrimage that took place in Přešovice is likewise part of the village's recorded history. Together with the river landscape, this creates a village setting in which natural surroundings and a culture of remembrance stand side by side.

This gives you different priorities to consider when deciding on your trip: the landscape of the nature park and the Rokytná represents protected river and hill formations, the Mlynářská Trail provides a specific connection between several villages, and the church, monument and pilgrimage point to local history. Accommodation in Přešovice can therefore be chosen above all according to whether you want to shape your stay around nature, the cycling route or local culture.
