The hilly cycling route from Golčův Jeníkov to Třemošnice passes through Kraborovice. It is a route of moderate difficulty, suitable for road bikes and trekking bikes. The moderate difficulty level and the bike types listed can help you compare the route with your own tour plans. Check the current route signs before setting off.
Baroque history with different ways to visit
The small Baroque chateau in Úhrov was built at the beginning of the 18th century. It is privately owned and is currently not open to the public. As access arrangements may change if ownership changes, check the latest information before planning a visit.
The Chapel of Saint Anthony in Úhrov was commissioned by František Vltavský, then owner of the Úhrov estate. Public visits are possible on various festive occasions. Check the dates in advance if you would like to include the chapel in your plans.
Another stop is the statue of Saint John of Nepomuk with the vaulted bridge in Úhrov. The late Baroque statue dates from 1770; in the fourth quarter of 2019, it was declared a cultural monument. The two dates refer to different things: 1770 is when the statue was created, while 2019 is the year it was declared a cultural monument. The statue is also an impressive feature of the landscape and an example of popular devotion.
Other traces of local culture
Úhrov is also home to a replica of a medieval castle rampart. The term makes clear that it is a reconstruction. Together with the Baroque chateau and the late Baroque statue, it offers a different perspective on the local cultural heritage.
The village museum in Kraborovice is located in the municipal office building. Visits are possible by arrangement with municipal representatives, so arrange your museum visit in advance. This allows you to plan your visit specifically rather than assume there are regular opening hours.
The Úhrov lime tree also tells a story of change and remembrance. The replacement lime tree, planted in 2013, has once again been granted protected memorial tree status. Information boards with photographs and the story of the original Úhrov lime tree stand around it. This makes it possible to consider the present-day tree and the history of its predecessor together.
What to plan in advance
Your preparations depend on what you would like to do: check the route signs for the cycling route, arrange a visit to the village museum, and check the festive occasions for the chapel. The chateau is currently not open to the public. These differences help you plan realistically for cycling and cultural interests, without assuming the same visiting arrangements at every site.
