Cycling, landscape and local history shape different aspects of Provodovice. A named cycling route runs through the village, the houses are scattered across the narrow valley and its slopes, and the village’s history dates back to the Middle Ages. When choosing where to stay, you can consider these themes together: if you are looking for a holiday apartment in Provodovice, it is worth first asking whether you would like to focus primarily on the cycling route, the settlement pattern or the local history.

Cycling Route through Provodovice

The “Krajem božích muk a památných stromů” cycling route runs through Provodovice. It is about 33 km long and has 12 rest stops and 23 information boards. The route’s passage through Provodovice and its approximate total length answer different questions: the village lies on the route, while the roughly 33 km describe the route as a whole.

Rest stops and information boards are also features of this route. They give cyclists concrete points of reference for considering the distance, breaks and information along the way together. This makes it possible to treat the route as a focus in its own right when planning a stay, rather than equating it with a short walk around the village.

Valley Setting and Landscape

Provodovice has no traditional village green. The houses are scattered across a narrow valley and the slopes of the surrounding hills. This gives the village a different appearance from a settlement whose houses are grouped around a shared village green: here, the course of the valley and the hillside locations shape its layout.

Provodovice also offers a beautiful view of the Hostýnské vrchy and the surrounding countryside. The settlement pattern and the view offer two different perspectives on the village: one through the distribution of its houses, the other through the landscape seen from Provodovice.

Medieval History and Monument

Before 1302, Provodovice was a fief village in the outer bailey of Šaumburk, held by Mikuláš of Šaumburk. By the beginning of the 14th century, Provodovice was already an episcopal fief. Both the specific connection to the outer bailey and its holder, and the village’s status as a fief, are therefore part of its early history.

The village is also home to a statue of Saint John of Nepomuk. It complements the medieval history of lordship with a religious monument in Provodovice and offers another point of interest if you are interested in the village’s history and cultural heritage.

Events and Travel Planning

The community day “Den obce Provodovice” took place in 2023, 2024 and 2025. Firefighting competitions called “Noční soutěž” were also held in Provodovice in, among other years, 2026, 2025, 2024 and 2023, as well as in further years going back to 2013. The 2026 edition took place on 12 June.
