Tichonice: History, Cycle Route 19 and Horse Riding

Tichonice combines a historic landmark with practical options for cycling and horse-riding enthusiasts. Cycle Route 19 runs through the village, Licoměrsko Ranch offers guided rides, and the Sázava forms the heart of the recreation area around Tichonice. This gives you different perspectives to consider when planning your trip: local history, a named cycle route, and guided horse riding. Which of these you focus on depends on your travel interests.

History and Landscape

The earliest written mention of Tichonice as a village with a fortress dates back to 1365. This date provides a clear chronological reference point for the village's history and places the mention in the Middle Ages. The year is important: 1365 marks the earliest written record of the village with a fortress, not necessarily its founding. If you are interested in its historical context, this gives you a specific year rather than a vague reference to an era. The term “fortress” refers to a fortified structure and explains why the mention is relevant to the village's history.

The Sázava forms the heart of the recreation area around Tichonice. This describes the destination's landscape and adds a regional perspective to the specific activities on offer. When organising your interests, you can distinguish between local history, landscape, cycling routes, and horse riding.

This places the village on a named section of a longer cycle route. The route number and the listed stages give you a specific point of reference if you want to consider Tichonice as part of a cycling trip.

Horse Riding at Licoměrsko Ranch

Licoměrsko Ranch offers guided rides for beginners and experienced riders. Guidance is therefore an integral part of the riding offer, and both experience levels are explicitly catered for. The ranch also offers summer riding camps for children. When choosing between the options, you can consider the target group and season separately: the rides are described by experience level, while the children's camps take place in summer. If a riding camp is relevant to your travel plans, take the seasonal timing into account and check dates and current availability in advance. The address is Kácovec 15, Tichonice-Kácovec.
