Prusy-Boškůvky offers several distinct points of interest for a stay: Baroque architectural history in Moravské Prusy, a historic bell tower in Boškůvky, traces in the landscape of a former fortress, and routes and activities for active recreation. You can make culture, walks or physical activity your main focus and choose the individual attractions to suit your interests.
Church, bell tower and local history
The Baroque Church of St. George is a landmark in Moravské Prusy and a cultural monument. It was built in 1733 to the specifications of architect Domenico Martinelli. In the village square in Boškůvky stands a bell tower dating from the end of the first half of the 18th century, also a cultural monument. The two buildings offer different historical points of reference: the church is notable for its Baroque architecture and attribution to the architect, while the bell tower is notable for its location in the village square and its period. The church is specifically dated to 1733, whereas the tower is assigned to a broader period.
Another historical trace is the former fortress. Its origins are associated with the end of the 14th century and the beginning of the 15th century. The remains of the abandoned site include traces of a central mound and the surrounding moat. This makes it distinct from the church and bell tower: what can be seen in the landscape are traces of a mound and moat, not a surviving fortress.
The cultural centre is used for various cultural events. These include balls, the local church festival, a children’s carnival, meetings for seniors, Christmas celebrations, Mother’s Day and children’s theatre. The programme ranges from festive occasions to activities for children and gatherings for older people. If you would like to plan your visit around an event, check in advance whether a suitable event is taking place during your travel dates.
Bodies of water and routes for walks, hikes and cycling
The bodies of water also offer different points of reference. The new municipal pond is part of a biocorridor that runs through the cadastral area of Prusy-Boškůvky; it can also be visited on walks in the surrounding area. Pruský rybník is located north of Prusy-Boškůvky. The distinction is useful when planning: the municipal pond is specifically associated with walks in the surrounding area, while Pruský rybník is identified by its location north of the village.
Hiking and cycling routes should be considered separately. A blue-marked long-distance hiking route runs through Moravské Prusy on the stretch from Vyškov to Bučovice. Long-distance cycling route No. 5029 runs from Vyškov via Prusy-Boškůvky to Koryčany. If you are planning a hike, check the current waymarking; for the cycling route, it is advisable to review the route details again before setting out. The mode of travel and the places along the routes will help you choose the right route description.
More options for active recreation
The TJ Sokol sports complex has a small-sided football pitch, two sand-filled nohejbal courts and a court with artificial turf. These facilities can be used for active recreation. The Stáj Boškůvky riding club is another option: children and adults can join the club and take up equestrian sports. This offers different forms of physical activity, from the sports facilities at the complex to equestrian activities at the club.
