Ten kilometres of Cycle Route 4041 pass through Černá u Bohdanče; at the same time, the Rajská struha runs through the village and flows into the Labe. This gives you two specific starting points for planning your trip: a route with named places and a watercourse with a clearly defined course. There are also historical traces dating from the 14th to the 17th century. If you are looking for a holiday apartment here, you can start by considering whether cycling, local history or the landscape should shape your stay.

Local history from the 14th to the 17th century

The first mentions of Černá u Bohdanče date from the 14th century. A record from 1377 documents the sale of the village by Albert of Cimburk to the Opatovice Monastery. In 1588, a manorial register listed milling as one of the trades practised in Černá u Bohdanče. The Cepl Mill on a struha dates from the 17th century. You will find several different historical reference points here: early mentions of the village, a sale with a specific date, and evidence of crafts and mill construction.

Landmarks in the centre

In the centre, you will find a wooden bell tower, a stone cross and a memorial to the fallen. The three landmarks differ in form and material; the memorial commemorates the fallen. Together, these local features complement the historical dates with tangible landmarks in the centre. Anyone interested in the history of small villages can distinguish between different forms of local remembrance and architectural history here.

Water and landscape

The Rajská struha flows through Černá u Bohdanče and into the Labe. Labiště pod Černou is nearby and is a significant landscape feature. The locations have different spatial relationships: the struha runs through the village, while Labiště pod Černou lies in the surrounding area. This helps you distinguish between the watercourse within the village and landscape features outside its boundaries when planning your trip.

Velká Černá is one of the sand pits near Černá u Bohdanče. In summer, locals use Velká Černá and Malá Černá for swimming. Velká Černá is also a fishing ground for the Přelouč branch of the Czech Fishing Union. Thus, swimming in summer and use as a fishing ground are two distinct aspects of this body of water.
