In Klešice, a brick bell tower stands in front of the municipal office, and brick Boží muka (wayside shrines) stand at the turnoff to the village. Together with the former granary, the rural surroundings and Cycling Route 4182, these details offer various ways to choose where to stay. If you are considering a holiday apartment as a base for a short trip, you can decide whether your focus is on village history, the landscape or cycling.

Village history and buildings

The first written record of Klešice dates from 5 November 1257. The former grain barn on the former manor farm adds a distinctive building to this historical context; it is known as a “špejchar.” A precise date from the village’s history and a building with a former use thus stand side by side. Anyone interested in the history of small villages will find a tangible starting point here in the written record and the former manor farm.

The buildings also differ in their architectural forms and locations. At the turnoff to the village stand brick Boží muka in the form of a column with a double cross above a tiled roof. The brick bell tower stands in the village square in front of the municipal office. Another statue of Saint John of Nepomuk is located on the railing of the bridge over the stream. There is also a house with suggested timber framing on the road from Heřmanův Městec to Jezbořice. The village’s details therefore range from religious markers to a house with a distinctive façade.

Surroundings and cycling route

The surroundings of Klešice are flat to gently rolling and characterized by meadows and fields. Large areas are occupied by nurseries growing ornamental trees and shrubs. This form of land use is part of the landscape alongside the open meadows and fields. If you give more weight to the rural surroundings than to individual buildings when choosing where to stay, the terrain and the nurseries offer two different ways to understand Klešice.

For getting around by road, a network of local roads runs through Klešice and Náklí towards Heřmanův Městec, Pardubice and Přelouč. Several bus services connect Klešice with surrounding settlements and towns. If you plan to travel by bus, check the current timetables. Cycling Route 4182 passes through Klešice on its section between Jetonice and Jezbořice; before setting out, check the signage and route conditions. These details serve different planning purposes: the roads indicate directions, the bus services connect the village with surrounding settlements and towns, and the cycling route identifies a specific section of the route.

Choose your accommodation according to which of these perspectives matters to your trip; check timetables and route conditions to suit your specific plans.
