For a stay in Přeskače, local traditions and cycling offer two clear points of interest. Cycle Route No. 5006 passes through the village. Cultural history and festivals complement this active focus. When looking for a holiday apartment, you can consider whether a festival date, the history of a church building, or a cycling tour will be the deciding factor.

Church of All Saints: Building History and Furnishings

The Church of All Saints is a late Romanesque rural religious building dating from between the late 11th century and the mid-13th century, and is a cultural monument. This dating covers a period rather than a single year of construction. Baroque furnishings, including the altar and pulpit, have been restored in the church. The building’s construction date and its furnishings therefore represent different art-historical layers: the religious building is late Romanesque, while the altar and pulpit are Baroque. For those interested in cultural history, this distinction offers a specific way to consider architectural history and furnishings separately.

Traditions Between Easter and Autumn

Přeskačské posvícení is celebrated regularly on the last weekend of October. The festival includes a procession through the village and a maypole ceremony. The date may change; check the exact date before travelling if you are planning your stay around Posvícení.

Přeskače also has the Easter rattling tradition of the boys, a procession of girls with the figure of Smrtolka, and fire brigade celebrations associated with sports. The rattling and Posvícení take place in different seasons. The processions also have different themes: at the October festival, the procession goes through the village; the other procession features the figure of Smrtolka.

Cycle Route 5006: Landscape and Route

Cycle Route No. 5006 Znojmo–Moravský Krumlov–Jevišovice passes through Přeskače. In the wider region, it connects Znojmo, Moravský Krumlov, and Jevišovice. The route alternates between sections through forests and fields, vineyards, and historic villages. It runs mostly on paved roads and is suitable for all types of bicycles. The three place names locate the route in the wider area; its passage through Přeskače describes its connection to the specific destination. The landscape, surface, and suitability address different questions: the landscape describes the changing surroundings, the surface describes the road underfoot, and suitability indicates which types of bicycles can be used. “Mostly paved” describes the predominant surface, not every individual section. This can help you decide whether the regional connection, changing scenery, or road surface is most relevant to your cycling trip.

A Dated Point of Reference in the Village’s History

Another historical point of reference is the year 2009. That year, the underground visitor attraction, a grain pit, and a small historical exhibition opened in Přeskače. The opening date clearly establishes when these three features were introduced. Compared with the late Romanesque construction period of the Church of All Saints, this is a very different time: the two dates mark a long span of history, from the medieval construction period to the opening in 2009.
