On the southern edge of Horní Bludovice lies Stará řeka, a protected natural monument with a special connection to the Lučina River: it preserves an earlier course of the river. Cultural monuments and local attractions can also be found in several named districts. The Lučina flows through Horní Bludovice, dividing the municipality into two parts. This combination of river landscape and local points of interest gives your trip several possible focal points. When looking for a holiday rental, you can consider whether nature, local heritage or an activity involving cycling or walking should shape your days.

River Landscape and Views from Kohout

Stará řeka was designated a natural monument in 2002, covering an area of 1.42 ha. The site preserves a former, originally naturally meandering course of the Lučina, as well as remnants of a softwood floodplain forest and a wetland. Together, the former river course, floodplain remnants and wetland form a clearly identifiable landscape theme. The present-day Lučina flows through the municipality and divides it into two parts. To understand the area, you can distinguish between the former course at Stará řeka and the river that now flows through Horní Bludovice. From Kohout Hill, you can enjoy views over Horní Bludovice and the surrounding area. This perspective extends the landscape theme from the protected site to the municipality and its surroundings.

Cultural Monuments in Different Locations

In Prostřední Bludovice, the statue of Saint John of Nepomuk is a protected cultural monument. In Nová Dědina, a statue of the same saint is also among the local attractions. The two statues share the same subject; the statue in Prostřední Bludovice is additionally designated explicitly as a protected cultural monument. In Záguří, the wooden bell tower is among the local attractions. In Špluchov, the Chapel of Saint John of Nepomuk was consecrated in 1930. The cultural points of interest are therefore spread across different districts and take different forms: statues, a bell tower and a chapel. The consecration date gives the chapel a specific historical anchor, while the recurring dedication to Saint John of Nepomuk creates a shared connection between two of the places mentioned.

Walking Event, Cycling Route and Club Life

The traditional Bludovické šlápoty walking event is organised by the municipality. If you would like to include it in your travel plans, check the dates in advance. The Radegast CykloTrak runs through Horní Bludovice; current cycling maps can help with planning your specific route. These offer different types of activity: a walking event organised by the municipality and a cycling route through the municipality. Another facet of local life is the football pitch in Dědina by the Lučina. The local FC Horní Bludovice uses it for district league matches and training for adults and children.

Choose the Right Focus

When looking for a holiday rental in Horní Bludovice, your preferred focus is a useful starting point. The natural attractions range from the former river course and wetland at Stará řeka to the views from Kohout; cultural landmarks can be found in several named locations. If you are planning to cycle or take part in the traditional walking event, you can take these interests into account when deciding on your trip and check current cycling maps or event dates for practical planning.
