Bílčice lies on the right bank of the Moravice and is a medium-sized agricultural municipality and the endpoint of cycling route 6152. Two other cycling routes pass through the village; historical records range from its first mention to Šternek Castle. You can therefore shape your stay around your interests: route layouts and profiles, or local history and cultural monuments. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, first consider whether cycling, history or both will define your trip.

Cycling routes: destination, passage and route profile

Cycling route 6152 ends in Bílčice. It starts in Dětřichov nad Bystřicí and passes through Panské Louky before reaching its destination. Cycling route 6142 follows a different course: it connects Slezská Harta with Štěrkovec and passes through Bílčice, Roudno, Nová Pláň, Valšov and Břidličná. Bílčice is therefore the endpoint of route 6152, while route 6142 includes the village in a connection between two other endpoints.

Route 6142 is listed as 41.5 kilometres long, at elevations between 490 and 860 metres above sea level. Another route, “Around the Slezská Harta dam,” is 43.9 kilometres long and also passes through Bílčice. Its course also includes Leskovec nad Moravicí, Roudno, Nová Pláň, Valšov and Mezina. It is rated difficult and runs over asphalt and gravel surfaces.

The two longer routes can be compared directly by length: 41.5 kilometres versus 43.9 kilometres. Other details highlight different aspects: elevations are given for route 6142, while the difficulty rating and surfaces are specified for “Around the Slezská Harta dam.” Length, elevation range and rating answer different questions when choosing a route; a kilometre figure alone does not describe the entire route profile. Route 6152, meanwhile, can be identified by its course from Dětřichov nad Bystřicí via Panské Louky to Bílčice.

Local history and cultural monuments

Bílčice was first mentioned in 1410, when Petr of Kravaře and Plumlov transferred the village to the town of Dvorce. An evangelical parsonage existed in Bílčice by 1569 at the latest. These two dates provide chronological reference points in the village’s history and church history: the first mention dates to the early 15th century, while the parsonage is documented for the 16th century.

Since 3 May 1958, St Margaret’s Church, together with the cemetery enclosure wall, has been protected as an immovable cultural monument. The protection designation thus explicitly covers both the church and the cemetery wall.

Šternek Castle also provides dated reference points: it was first mentioned in 1397 and had already been abandoned by 1480. The castle ruins are designated an important archaeological site. The dates mark different stages—the castle’s first mention and the later point by which it had already been abandoned. Together with the mention of the village and the parsonage, they provide a historical perspective spanning several centuries, while the church and castle ruins each have their own protection or archaeological-site designation.
