In Přehvozdí, both stone structures and an open valley shape the character of the village. The chapel, bell tower and other landmarks offer starting points for exploring its architectural history, while the stream, pond and woodland complexes define the surrounding landscape. You can therefore choose different focal points when planning your trip: architecture, the settlement layout or nature. Bus line 660 adds practical information about getting there.
Chapel and stone landmarks
The chapel is a vernacular religious building dating from around the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. It is set into a stone wall, has an oval floor plan and a south-facing façade. These features offer a specific architectural point of interest; the date of its registration provides further context for its heritage status. On 23 November 1987, the chapel was entered in the Central Register of Immovable Cultural Monuments of the Czech Republic under number 17670/2-3467.
The other stone landmarks each add a different detail. The bell tower in Přehvozdí dates from 1864 and is made of red Nučice sandstone. At farmstead No. 13, the granary and gateway are listed in the same register under number 38100/2–3466. There is also a 19th-century sandstone milestone. The architectural heritage therefore includes not only the chapel but also a tower, parts of a farmstead and a feature of the road landscape.
Valley, pond and woodland landscape
Přehvozdí lies in an open valley through which a local stream flows. A pond in the centre of the village separates the historic farmstead buildings from newer development to the north. Visitors interested in how the settlement has developed will find a clear point of reference here: the pond divides the built-up area into historic and newer parts.
The broader landscape is defined by extensive woodland complexes in hilly terrain. To the west, they extend from the valley of the Šembera; to the east, the Obora woodland complex reaches Přehvozdí. The village centre and its surroundings can thus be distinguished by different features: the pond and buildings describe the layout within the village, while the woods define the wider terrain.
Another nature-related point of interest is the pair of linden trees known as the Lípy u Přehvozdí. They are small-leaved lime trees estimated to be about 220 years old in 2020. This age is an estimate referring to that year.
