A five-kilometre walk through Lázně Bohdaneč and the surrounding open countryside takes in 14 sites along the Gočárův okruh. There is also a large spa park, trails to the Bohdanečské rybníky ponds, historic buildings and a traditional autumn fish harvest. These varied highlights can help you choose what to see in Lázně Bohdaneč based on your interests.

Walking Trails and Nature Conservation

The Gočárův okruh runs through Lázně Bohdaneč and the surrounding open countryside. Its five-kilometre route passes 14 sites, combining a walk through the town with sections in the surrounding countryside.

Another option is the circular route from Lázně Bohdaneč to the Bohdanečské rybníky ponds. It is about 4.5 kilometres long, and a leisurely walk is estimated to take around two hours. The distance and time provide a practical guide for planning your day, though both are approximate.

The Bohdanečské rybníky nature trail passes through a national nature reserve. It is 7.25 kilometres long and has six stops with information boards. The circular route and the nature trail are separate options: one leads from Lázně Bohdaneč to the ponds, while the other runs through the protected area. Their distances and the estimated duration therefore do not refer to the same route.

The Lázeňský Park

The Lázeňský park covers 17 hectares. Around 100 species of native and exotic trees and shrubs, along with their cultivars, contribute to the park’s diversity. Well-maintained paths, benches and lawns invite you to take a walk and relax. If you’d like to combine a stroll among the greenery with a restful break, benches and lawns are just as much a part of the park as its paths.

The park provides a refuge for many animal species, especially birds, bats and insects. This makes the park notable both for its variety of trees and shrubs and for its importance as a habitat. In this respect, it differs from the nature trail, which passes through the national nature reserve.

Architectural History in the Town

The Church of St Mary Magdalene is a Baroque church built between 1728 and 1737. The town hall tells a different architectural story: it is a monument to Czech Renaissance architecture from the mid-16th century. A Baroque façade was added after the fire of 1772. Renaissance architecture and later Baroque design stand side by side in this building.

Another architectural highlight is the Lázeňský pavilon Gočár. Built between 1910 and 1913 in the spa complex of Lázně Bohdaneč, it is one of the few buildings in the Cubist style. Together, the church, town hall and pavilion showcase different periods and architectural styles. If you’re interested in architecture, you can make these buildings a focus of your exploration of the town.

October Autumn Fish Harvest

An autumn fish harvest traditionally takes place at the Bohdanečský rybník every year in October. Grilled fish specialities are sold as part of the event. If you’d like to plan your trip around this autumn event, check the exact date in advance.
