Zlosyn combines a striking Baroque building complex with cycling routes and the landscape around Dřínovský vrch. When choosing where to stay, you can first decide whether local history, cycling or the surrounding area is your main focus. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Zlosyn, you can match the local attractions to your own travel interests.
Local history and memorial sites
The most prominent building in Zlosyn is a Baroque granary. After what was presumably a resettlement, a Baroque estate with a granary was established. A chapel was built in 1942 on the site of a monument beneath which the remains of Russian soldiers from 1913 had been buried. There is also a monument in the village to those who fell in both world wars. The granary and estate shed light on the area’s architectural development, while the chapel and monument add local memorial sites.
Landscape and cycling
Zlosyn lies at the foot of Dřínovský vrch, which was used as a hillfort in prehistoric times. A pond in Zlosyn is fed by groundwater from Dřínovský vrch and by rainwater flowing over the surface. Zlosyňský háj is a continuous forest area consisting predominantly of mixed woodland, pine and beech, and is considered the highest-quality continuous forest area in the region. The landscape features can thus be considered separately: Dřínovský vrch is notable for its archaeological connection, while the forest area is notable for its continuous woodland and tree species.
Local recreational opportunities include a network of flat cycling routes. The cycling tour “Mezi řekami nejen za zvonicemi,” listed in the 2025 seasonal guide, passes through Zlosyn and Zlosyňský háj. The local route network and the named tour offer different points of reference: the network is described as flat, while the tour is noted for passing through Zlosyn and the forest. Tour conditions may vary seasonally; check them before making specific plans.
Places to visit nearby
Nearby attractions include the state-owned Veltrusy Chateau and its park, as well as Dřínovský vrch and the Dřínovská stráň Nature Reserve. Veltrusy, with its chateau and park, is more suited to cultural interests; the hill and nature reserve add a focus on nature. You can weigh these different themes separately when planning your stay.
