A 13.5-kilometer circular trail starts and ends at Kryštof Harant Square; the Bezdružická local railway has run via Konstantinovy Lázně to Bezdružice since 1901. This gives you two distinct experiences to choose from during a stay in Bezdružice: a hike exploring the history of mills and a railway line with a history of its own. There is also a Baroque castle featuring glass art, as well as Jewish cultural monuments. If you are looking for a hotel in Bezdružice, you can organize your planned days around these highlights.

Hiking and Cycling in Bezdružice

The “Údolím Úterského a Nezdického potoka” educational trail is a 13.5-kilometer circular route along marked hiking paths. It starts and ends at Kryštof Harant Square in Bezdružice. The route focuses on the history of milling, especially the history of mills in the area around Bezdružice along the Úterský potok and Nezdický potok streams. It combines a clearly defined starting and return point with a specific cultural and historical theme. The stated distance gives you a practical measure when deciding how much of your stay to devote to the hike.

Cyclists also have a route associated with the town: the “Po kopcích, potocích a vsích Bezdružicka” cycle route starts and ends in Bezdružice. When planning, you can choose between a designated hiking route with a defined circuit and a cycling tour that begins and ends in town.

Railway: Route, Museum and Steam Trains

Since 1901, the Bezdružická local railway has run from Pňovany via Konstantinovy Lázně to Bezdružice. The Bezdružice Railway Museum is housed in a historic railway depot next to the station building. It is dedicated to the history of rail transport in the Plzeň Region, particularly the Pňovany–Bezdružice line. The railway’s history and regional significance are therefore part of the story, alongside the museum at the station.

The museum is generally open only during special events along the line or by prior arrangement. Nostalgic steam trains also operate on the Bezdružická local railway for visitors. If you are planning a train ride or a museum visit during an event, it is worth checking the timetable and event dates.

Bezdružice Castle and Glass Art

Baroque Bezdružice Castle stands on a rise above the town square. Its Gothic rooms house a permanent exhibition of modern Czech glass art by students of Professor S. Libenský. The Muzeum české sklářské tvorby at the castle displays works by Czech glass artists, including S. Libenský, J. Brychtová, V. Cigler, B. Eliáš, J. Harcuba, M. Karel, V. Kopecký and R. Roubíček. Alongside the Baroque architecture, Czech glass art is a central attraction.

Cultural Monuments and Town History

The synagogue in Bezdružice is classified as an immovable cultural monument. The Jewish cemetery, also known as Řešín, contains 183 gravestones. Most date from the mid-19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. The present-day church in Bezdružice was built in 1710–1711. Its construction predates the periods from which most of the gravestones date; the synagogue, cemetery and church offer distinct points of reference for the town’s cultural history.

At Zaječí Pond

Zaječí Pond lies about two kilometers from Bezdružice, in the direction of Řešín. There are opportunities for fishing and relaxation, as well as swimming in the summer months. If you would like to include swimming, the summer months are the best time for this part of your stay.
