The round village square in Bezuchov once had three gates; the Chapel of St. Florian, dating from 1895, stands in the square. These details alone give a stay a clear cultural focus. There is also the Májkování tradition and several cycling and nature trail themes. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, you can start by choosing what matters most to you: village history, an event in the annual calendar or trails in the region.

Village Square and Historic Traces

The three former gates of the round village square were called Stará brána, Nová brána and Zábraní. The Chapel of St. Florian has been fully restored. A granite cross in Bezuchov has also been restored, and two sandstone crosses have been reconstructed. This means the village’s history can be explored not only through the chapel, but also through several restored or reconstructed landmarks.

Another historical landmark is the Brethren House No. 1 by the Old Gate: it was the seat of the local Brethren congregation. This connection adds the former congregation to the village’s history, while the square and crosses offer further tangible points of reference for exploring Bezuchov’s past.

Tradition and Nature

On Palm Sunday before Easter, Bezuchov holds a festive procession of girls known as “Májkování.” The dates vary from year to year. So if you want to plan your trip around this occasion, check the date for the year in question. This lets you plan the tradition as a specific seasonal highlight rather than assuming it is available at any time.

Nature is also part of Bezuchov’s local character: the Lesy u Bezuchova protected area extends into Bezuchov’s cadastral area and protects oak-hornbeam forests. Alongside the cultural landmarks, this clearly identified protected area highlights the natural character of the region.

Getting to Know the Nature Trail and Cycling Routes

The Dřevohostickým lesem nature trail lies among municipalities such as Dřevohostice, Bezuchov, Hradčany and Radkova Lhota in the Přerov District. It is a six-kilometre circular route with twelve information-board stops. Its circular layout, length and number of stops provide clear guidance for anyone interested in exploring this nature trail. Local trail conditions may change, so check them before setting out.

One specific cycling route is named: the Bystřice pod Hostýnem–Helfštýn cycling route passes through Bezuchov. The village is also considered a hub for cycling routes that cross the Záhoří region. The named route and this broader regional cycling connection answer different questions about getting around. Check the route details before setting off if you are planning around them.

There are therefore two different ways to choose a focus for your stay: the chapel, village square and other historic landmarks provide a cultural setting, while the nature trail and cycling routes offer concrete starting points for planning your outings. Májkování is another option if the Palm Sunday date in a given year suits your trip. This lets you choose what to explore in Bezuchov based on what actually matters to you during your stay.
