Přeborov is in South Bohemia, about 4 km from Milevsko in the direction of Petrovice. The landscape, local history and regularly held events offer different starting points for planning your trip.

Ponds and a Hilly Landscape

Several ponds shape the picturesque landscape around Přeborov. The largest pond in the area is by the Vášův mlýn recreation resort. To the north of the village, the 532-metre-high Číhadla hill shapes the gently rolling landscape. The area thus offers two distinct landscape features: the ponds nearby and a named elevation to the north. If you are choosing Přeborov for its surroundings, you can weigh up whether the bodies of water, the hilly terrain or a combination of the two is of greater interest for your stay.

A Route Through the Village

A published safety alternative for the Krajem kamenů route via Petrovice passed through Přeborov between Vášův mlýn and Něžovice. This makes the village part of a specifically named route. If you plan to follow it, check the current route conditions before setting off.

History, Memorial and Archaeological Find

The first written mention of Přeborov dates from 1488; until 1575, the village belonged to the Milevský klášter monastery. The war memorial in Přeborov is dedicated to the victims of the First World War. It depicts a soldier leaning on a contemporary rifle. Another historical trace was discovered in 1937: a burial ground with cremation burials, probably dating to the Hallstatt period, was found in a small wood behind Přeborov; it is a mound north of the village. While the written historical milestones have fixed dates, the dating of the burial ground remains tentative. The memorial, the monastery’s history and the archaeological find thus offer different ways to explore the village’s past. The term “burial ground with cremation burials” describes a burial site with cremation burials and helps explain the nature of the archaeological find.

Events and When to Visit

Cultural, sporting and social events are held regularly in Přeborov. These include a pilgrimage in early July, providing a specific seasonal reference point for planning your trip. If you would like to time your stay to coincide with a particular event, check the dates for your chosen year in advance.

When looking for a holiday apartment, you can match the village’s highlights to your travel interests: the ponds and Číhadla represent the landscape, while the memorial and historical traces reflect different aspects of local history. The regular events add another perspective, with the pilgrimage in early July serving as one possible date to plan around. This makes it easier to decide whether your stay will focus mainly on the landscape, history or an event date.
