Bukovany is located in the Posázaví countryside. When planning a trip, specific local references come together with clear planning considerations: there is no rail connection, two cycling route descriptions include Bukovany, and two places to visit are listed with specific distances. This makes the village interesting for travellers who want to plan their stay around excursions or cycling routes and organise their journey in advance. The right combination for you depends on whether you want to focus on a castle, castle ruins or the route itself. The cycling route “Týnec nad Sázavou–Bukovany–Poříčí nad Sázavou” is one of four cycling routes listed in Týnec nad Sázavou. The sequence of places in its name runs from Týnec nad Sázavou via Bukovany to Poříčí nad Sázavou, placing the village between the other two named places. Another description is titled “From Týnec to Zbořený Kostelec and on to Poříčí”; it can lead back to Týnec nad Sázavou via Bukovany. The different roles of the place names are useful for comparing the routes: the first gives a sequence that includes Bukovany, while the second describes a possible return via Bukovany. Check the route conditions before setting out.

Castle and castle ruins near Bukovany

Konopiště Castle is 7 km from Bukovany, while the ruins of Zbořený Kostelec Castle are 4 km away. This lets you compare two different types of destinations and two different distances. The ruins are the destination with the shorter stated distance; Konopiště is farther away. When planning your day, you can first decide what interests you more—a castle or castle ruins—and then take the respective stated distance into account. This helps you plan an excursion in terms of both its subject and location.

Getting here and finding accommodation

Bukovany has no rail connection; only bus services are available, operated by ČSAD Benešov. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in the village, take this transport information into account early in your planning and check current bus connections for your travel date. This lets you treat your journey as the first decision point, then consider whether a castle, castle ruins or a cycling route should be the main focus of your stay.
