Vselibice lies in the Malá Mohelka Valley. The municipality’s scattered settlements are interspersed with large areas of pasture and meadow and extensive woodland. Cultural landmarks include a Holy Trinity sculpture group in Budíkov, the atonement cross of Všelibice and a historic farmstead in Benešovice. The landscape, routes and architectural history offer several specific themes for a stay.

Landscape and Routes

The gently rolling landscape, with its mixed forests, covers a total of 785 hectares. In the municipality’s scattered settlements, large areas of pasture and meadow alternate with extensive woodland. Open land and forest areas thus form two distinct aspects of the landscape. Cycle route T3048 passes through the municipality. A blue-marked hiking route runs along the southwestern edge through Čertova zeď, Hlavice and Mohelnice nad Jizerou.

The two routes differ in how they are used and in the locations described: the cycle route is specified as passing through the municipality, while the hiking route follows its southwestern edge and passes through three places. Before setting out, check the signage and surface conditions locally.

Traces of Cultural History

Vselibice is first mentioned in 1419. In the centre of Budíkov, in front of house No. 34, stands the Holy Trinity sculpture group, Sousoší Nejsvětější Trojice. The stonemason Matěj Beran created it in 1865. The group depicts the Christian motif of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The atonement cross of Všelibice offers a different point of interest: it is a roughly hewn sandstone cross that is probably no longer in its original location. The sculpture group stands in the centre of Budíkov; the roughly hewn sandstone cross is probably no longer in its original location.

The Farmstead in Benešovice

The farmstead in Benešovice dates from around the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. Its layout includes a house with its gable end facing the village square, a gate, a two-storey granary, a barn and the remains of another barn. Gable-end facing means that the gable side of the house faces the village square. The side of the house facing the square defines the orientation of the farmyard; among the barns, one is intact while only the remains of another survive.

After the mid-19th century, the buildings underwent extensive alterations. Vselibice is first mentioned in 1419; the sculpture group was created in 1865. The buildings of the historic farmstead in Benešovice were extensively altered after the mid-19th century. The farmstead dates from around the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries; the extensive alterations after the mid-19th century came later. Its origins and subsequent changes therefore belong to two different building phases.
