The Zlatý Crk stream flows through Pohoří, while the Church of St John the Baptist, a natural landmark, defines the village and recalls earlier generations. The village also has a nature and culture centre in the centre, seasonal music evenings and open hiking activities. The landscape, church heritage and cultural events offer different ways to shape your travel plans.

Stream landscape and nature in the surrounding area

The Zlatý Crk is a defining feature of the local landscape and flows through Pohoří. The stream’s history is also well documented: after the severe flooding in July 1998, its bed and the three ponds it flows through were completely cleaned and restored. Changes to the stream and ponds are therefore also part of the village’s history.

Pohoří is also home to a permanent white stork nest. The Zbytka Natura 2000 site lies in the surrounding area. Its habitats include ash-alder floodplain forests, purple moor-grass meadows and other riverside floodplain forests; the fire-bellied toad is also found there. This protected natural area and its habitats add to the local landscape’s appeal.

Church and cultural events

The Church of St John the Baptist is a place of remembrance for earlier generations and a natural landmark of Pohoří. Mass is held there regularly every Sunday. The church building thus shapes both the village’s appearance and its religious life.

The Nature and Culture Centre (PKS) is located in the centre of Pohoří. It has a covered stage, an auditorium, visitor toilets, a kiosk and a wooden pavilion. The traditional Pohořské hudební večery (Pohoří Music Evenings) are held there from June to August. If you want to plan your trip around these music evenings, check the specific event dates in advance.

Pohořský střevíček represents a different form of culture: this dance competition is a regional tradition organised by the local primary school. The summer music evenings and traditional dance competition therefore offer different cultural experiences. If the competition is a key part of your trip, plan around its specific dates.

Hiking and bus services

The activities of the Klub českých turistů (Czech Tourist Club) in Pohoří are open to everyone interested in hiking; membership is not required. The club focuses mainly on hikes of up to 20 km. These details offer two different points to bear in mind when planning: the participation requirements and the range covered by the hiking activities.

A bus service runs through the entire municipality. Include it in your travel plans and check the timetable for your specific travel dates.

Choose Pohoří as your place to stay

When looking for a holiday apartment in Pohoří, you can first decide whether your trip will centre on a cultural event or the open hiking activities. The music evenings take place within a clearly defined period, from June to August; for the dance competition, the specific dates are what matter. This lets you consider your travel dates alongside your personal interests, without committing to a fixed itinerary. Then compare the location and facilities of each accommodation to suit your needs, and include the bus timetable in your plans.
