Těchlovice lies in the fertile, agriculture-shaped landscape of the Polabská nížina lowlands. The village was first mentioned in writing in 1318. Its local historic sites include a pseudo-Gothic chapel, a statue, and a monument to those who fell in the First World War. Several routes pass through Těchlovice and offer different points of reference. You can tailor your stay to local cultural monuments, a particular route, or both.

Historic Sites in Těchlovice

The first written mention of the village, in 1318, provides a specific historical reference. Another date relates to the statue of Saint John of Nepomuk: it dates from 1822 and stands on the outskirts of Těchlovice, on the road to Libčany. The two dates refer to different things: 1318 is the year the village was first mentioned in writing, while 1822 is the year of the statue. This makes it possible to distinguish the village’s historical record from a dated monument.

Local historic religious heritage includes the pseudo-Gothic Chapel of the Virgin Mary and Ukřižování. The term “pseudo-Gothic” and the dedication to the Virgin Mary provide specific details about the chapel; Ukřižování is also among the local historic religious monuments. There is also a monument to those who fell in the First World War near the sandstone cross. Religious monuments and remembrance of the fallen thus represent distinct aspects of the village’s history.

Routes Through Těchlovice

The “Po stopách knihoven” cycling route runs from Horní Přím via Těchlovice to Libčany. Its sequence of places names the starting point, the passage through Těchlovice, and the destination. As route conditions and markings can change, check them before setting off. This allows you to take the specific route into account in your plans rather than relying solely on the places named.

The “Proti proudu času” cycling route also passes through Těchlovice. On its return leg, it goes through Hrádek, Radíkovice, Těchlovice, and Stěžery. This sequence of places is specifically associated with the return leg. Unlike the route from Horní Přím to Libčany, it offers a different point of reference: places are listed for a particular section of the route.

The 36 km “Bojiště 1866 na Chlumu” day loop also passes through Těchlovice. The route’s length is specifically given. If you want to consider a stated distance when choosing a route, this provides a clear point of reference. This distinguishes the loop’s description from those of the cycling routes, which mainly name places and sections of their courses.

To narrow down your options, you can compare the three routes according to which information is most useful to you: the day loop gives its length as 36 km, “Po stopách knihoven” connects a starting point, a place along the way, and a destination, and “Proti proudu času” lists places on the return leg. If distance is your first consideration, the loop provides the clearly stated figure. If you prefer to follow sequences of places, the two cycling routes describe their respective courses. For “Po stopách knihoven,” you should also check route conditions and markings before setting off, as they can change.
