Discover Bohuslavice u Zlína

Bohuslavice u Zlína combines a forested hilly landscape with small cultural discoveries and a vibrant local tradition. The village lies in the long, relatively narrow valley of the Březnický potok and on the northwestern edge of the Vizovické vrchy. Those who wish to combine a peaceful landscape, historical traces, and cycling excursions during their stay will find various starting points here for planning their trip.

Landscape Between the Valley and the Hills

The surrounding terrain forms a rolling hilly landscape at elevations between 236 and 464 metres above sea level. As a result, Bohuslavice u Zlína does not feel like a single viewpoint, but rather like a place whose character is shaped by the valley, wooded areas, and rising terrain. Its location on the edge of the Vizovické vrchy makes the landscape an important part of the village: walks and excursions can be focused more strongly on nature and activity or on history and local life.

Local History and Notable Buildings

The first written record of Bohuslavice u Zlína dates from 1362. In the centre of the village stands a war memorial commemorating the victims of the First World War. It consists of a block of stone with a black marble plaque bearing the names of the fallen. Its simple design makes the historical connection immediately visible without allowing elaborate decoration to overshadow the memorial’s message.

Another notable feature is the chapel in Bohuslavice u Zlína. Its white tower symbolises hands folded in prayer. Inside, the restrained design continues with modern, minimalist furnishings. The Stations of the Cross depicts Christ’s suffering through a symbolic representation of flowers. The chapel was consecrated on 18 October 2003 by Bishop Josef Hrdlička, combining a more recent history with a deliberately religious visual language.

Smaller features in the village landscape also deserve attention. A stone crucifix dating from 1749 stands beside a road in the southern part of Bohuslavice u Zlína. In addition, the tradition of the carnival procession, including leading the bear and the burial of the double bass, continues. For travellers who want to discover not only the landscape but also local customs, these details complete the picture of the village.

Cycling Route and St. Hubertus Forest Chapel

Regional Cycling Route 5055 between Uherské Hradiště and Zlín runs along the southern edge of the Bohuslavice u Zlína area. About 1 km south of the village, St. Hubertus Forest Chapel stands on a wooded ridge crossed by Cycling Route 5055. Masses are regularly celebrated there on the occasion of the St. Hubertus festival. This makes it possible to combine route planning with a specific destination in the landscape, while the chapel also has its own religious and local significance.

St. Hubertus Forest Chapel can be reached from the bus stop by the school via an uphill road, a field path, and a forest path. This precise sequence describes the character of the approach: the route leads from the built-up village through open areas and into the forest. When choosing accommodation, it is therefore important to consider whether you want to focus primarily on the village itself, the hilly landscape, or the combination of the cycling route and forest chapel.
