If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Sovolusky, this destination profile can help you decide: deep forests, walks and mushroom picking are complemented by specific nature and culture highlights. Depending on your interests, you can focus on nature activities or individual sightseeing visits.

Forests and Stream in Sovolusky

The deep forests around Sovolusky invite you to go for walks and pick mushrooms. The Brložský potok flows through the village and is another defining feature of the landscape. The bathing area by the stream is currently not in operation, so do not count on it as an available swimming spot. If this is important to your travel plans, check its operating status before your visit. Walking and mushroom picking both take place in the forests, but appeal to different interests: one is about being out and about, while the other is about looking for mushrooms.

The Skalka u Sovolusk Geological Formation

Skalka u Sovolusk is a hilly formation consisting of the remains of a single spilite lava dome. It is covered by thermophilous oak-hornbeam forest. This brings together a geological landform and specific forest vegetation in one place. This perspective on the terrain and vegetation differs from the walks offered in the forests around Sovolusky. The term refers to the two tree species, oak and hornbeam.

The site is located more than 250 metres from the road and can be reached via a walkable tourist trail. When planning your visit, take both the walk and the location of the site into account, and check local conditions before travelling.

Culture and Routes

Sovolusky has a historic bell tower and a cross. These two distinct local features add a cultural note alongside the forest and stream, and draw attention to the village’s character.

The accessible Chapel of St Romedius is located in the south wing of Choltice Chateau. It offers a different focus from the natural sites: the emphasis here is on a particular room within the chateau. As visitor arrangements may change, check them in advance.

Numerous marked hiking and cycling trails run through the area around Choltice. Exploring the area on foot and by bicycle are two different options. Check the current route information on a map before setting out, as the trail network may change.

The Gothic defensive tower “Bašta” in Semtěš welcomes visitors; there is also a free stamp for tourist diaries. If you keep one of these diaries, the stamp is a specific addition for your cultural interests. Check visitor arrangements before travelling.
