Nabočany combines a long local history with a clear connection to cycling: several signposted local cycling routes run through the village and intersect there. Historical records trace its past from the first mention in 1275 to the oldest surviving building, dating from 1701; there is also a chateau and a historic fortress site. This gives you local history and cycling plans as distinct focuses to consider when deciding on your trip.

Local History from the First Mention to the Village Square

Nabočany was first mentioned in 1275, when a certain Dluhomil of Nabočany was named. House No. 1, dating from 1701, is considered the oldest surviving building.

The Louka Parkán site includes the location of a fortress; evidence of it is based on a title attested to in 1259. In 1692, the dilapidated Nabočany chateau was converted into a Baroque chateau. A bell tower and a statue of St John of Nepomuk stand in the park on Nabočany village square.

Chateau: History and Current Use

Nabočany Chateau currently belongs, together with the adjacent farmyard, to an agricultural business and is used as a residence. Its history as a Baroque chateau and its present-day use are separate considerations when planning your trip. If you are considering a visit, check locally in advance whether one is possible.

Cycling and Route Planning

Several signposted local cycling routes run through Nabočany and intersect there. For planning a specific ride, it is worth checking the current route. The cycling routes mentioned also include the 62-kilometre “Krajinou Ležáku, Žejbra a Krounky” route. Before planning, check both current train connections and route conditions.

The intersecting local routes and the 62-kilometre route offer different scales for planning: the former provide a local route connection, while the latter has a specified total length. This lets you consider whether you would rather follow the routes in the village or a longer cycling route, without assuming a particular journey time or level of difficulty.

Naše pole: An Agricultural Focus

The “Naše pole” event presented the latest results from breeding and research to the agricultural community, including varieties and new technological methods. A report from 2026 records that Nabočany once again hosted the event for two days. Event dates vary from year to year. If you would like to combine your trip with “Naše pole,” check the dates for the relevant edition.

Which Focus Suits Your Trip?

When choosing Nabočany as a destination, you can first decide on your focus: local history, cycling, or a time-specific insight into “Naše pole.” These topics call for different preparations: checking whether a visit to the chateau is possible, getting current route and train information for cycling, and checking the dates for the event in the relevant year.
