For cycling enthusiasts, Zahořany offers two named routes with a shared starting and finishing point. The Chapel of St. Ludmila, Zahořanský Pond and a local visitor service add cultural, fishing and break-related attractions. The details below will help you identify the main focus of your stay.

Cycling from the memorial

Both the Blue Circuit – In the Footsteps of the Past and the Green Circuit can begin and end at the memorial to the fallen of the First World War in the upper part of Zahořany. The memorial is therefore the same named planning landmark for both routes. You can plan to start and finish here, then choose between the routes.

The continuous green tourist cycling-route markings are a distinctive feature of the Green Circuit. Check the current signage before your ride if you plan to follow it. The title of the Blue Circuit, “In the Footsteps of the Past,” refers to the past. This gives you two different points to consider when choosing: green markings on one route and a historical theme in the other route’s name. Think about whether visual guidance or the historical connection is more important to you when choosing.

There is also a rest area and a drinking fountain at the memorial. These facilities provide a practical place to take a break at the shared starting and finishing point. If you plan to use the area as a rest stop, check the current condition of the rest area and fountain on site.

Chapel of St. Ludmila

The Chapel of St. Ludmila was consecrated in Zahořany; it is said to have been built around 1921 by local settlers. Its approximately dated history adds a local cultural dimension to the cycling focus. If you are interested in local history as well as cycling, you can include the chapel as a distinct historical point of interest in your plans.

Fishing at Zahořanský Pond

In 2025, catch and release was the only permitted fishing method at Zahořanský Pond: every fish caught had to be returned to the water immediately. Fishing was permitted from the dam and from the right or left bank. Fishing from the beach and at the inlet was prohibited. These rules apply specifically to 2025. If fishing is important to your visit, check the permits and fishing zones in force at the time of your trip.

A local visitor service

Hostinec U Pepíčka has a summer garden with a children’s playground. For visitors with children, the playground can be a useful point to consider when planning the day. As facilities can change, check the current status of the summer garden and playground before visiting.

If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Zahořany, start by asking what brings you on your trip: is cycling, local history or fishing your main interest? This will help you focus your search on the themes you want your stay to revolve around.
