Landscape and hiking
Krchleby lies in a hilly, partly wooded landscape. The terrain in the surrounding area is suitable for moderately difficult cross-country skiing outings; however, its suitability in season may vary with snow conditions. For winter planning, current snow conditions are therefore a separate factor to consider alongside the terrain rating.
Historic columns featuring a group of figures representing the Holy Trinity mark the hiking trail from Mírov to Krchleby. The columns combine trail markers with a religious depiction, giving the route a cultural point of interest. Another hiking option starts beyond Krchleby, where a trail branches off from the road to Pobučí towards the settlement of Dolní Bušínov, 1.5 km away. The settlement is also known by the local name Bozéňov. Dolní Bušínov is a well-known recreation area offering opportunities for sports and swimming in the local reservoir. As recreational facilities may change, check what is currently available before your visit.
Local history and culture
The historical record goes back to 1273: Krchleby is mentioned together with Bušínov in historical sources in connection with the episcopal seat of Mohelnice. In the surrounding area, several attempts were made to mine iron ore and graphite in the mid-19th century; limestone was also quarried and burned to produce lime.
The Chapel of the Virgin Mary dates from 1920 and stands on the road from Mohelnice towards Maletín. A coarse-grained sandstone cross featuring a figure of Christ bears the year 1857 as the year the monument was created. The monument to the victims of the First World War in Krchleby was erected in 1928. Together, these construction dates span the years 1857 to 1928.
