When choosing a destination, Horní Bojanovice brings together religious architectural history, traditional festive dress and cycling. The Church of Saint Lawrence dates back to the 13th century, and the Velkopavlovická Wine Cycling Trail passes through the village. This combination offers different points of focus for travellers interested in culture and an active way to explore the surrounding area.

Landscape and nature in the local area

The village lies in the area known as the Boleradická vrchovina, on the southern foothills of the Ždánický les. Its cadastral area includes oak-hornbeam forests, floodplain forests and alder forests, as well as downy oak forests and rocky forest steppes. The natural landscape thus ranges from several types of forest to rocky forest steppes. For nature enthusiasts, this provides a tangible connection to the landscape, complementing the village’s setting with a variety of habitat types.

Church and chapel as historical landmarks

The Church of Saint Lawrence dates back to the 13th century and has a Romanesque ground plan and Renaissance bells. The Romanesque ground plan draws attention to the building’s form, while the bells offer a different historical point of reference. Another landmark is the Chapel of Saint Florian, which dates from the mid-18th century. The two dates therefore span the period from the 13th century to the mid-18th century.

Traditional dress and krojované Hody

The traditional dress of Horní Bojanovice belongs to the Haná-Slovak group of folk costumes. Its festive form is worn at Hody celebrations and weddings. The krojované Hody take place on the feast day of Saint Lawrence, 10 August; the exact programme may vary. Their shared connection to Saint Lawrence links the date of the celebration with the church of the same name. If you would like to plan your visit around the Hody, check the programme for the relevant year.

For planning purposes, this information serves different needs: the church and chapel offer historical landmarks, while the Hody mark a specific recurring date in the annual calendar. You can therefore focus on the architectural history or plan your visit around the festival date.

Cycling route and June event

The Velkopavlovická Wine Cycling Trail passes through Horní Bojanovice. If you would like to include the route in your plans, check the signposting locally. The Expedice Krajem André event takes place every June along the route that passes through the village. If you are travelling in June, it can provide an additional reason to plan ahead; check the programme for the relevant year in advance.

Wineries and swimming pool

Modern wineries in Horní Bojanovice are open to visitors; access may vary from winery to winery. If you are planning a visit, check with your chosen winery in advance to confirm that visits are possible.

The pools at Koupaliště Horní Bojanovice may only be used during the swimming pool’s operating hours. If you are planning to go swimming, check the opening hours for your chosen date.
