Zahořany: Cycle Routes, Chapel and Pond

Zahořany offers visitors concrete points of interest for a stay focused on cycling, local history and specific visitor amenities. Two cycle routes share a possible starting and ending point at the monument to the fallen of the First World War in the upper part of the village. The Chapel of St. Ludmila and Zahořanský Pond add to these themes. For seasonal amenities and fishing regulations, it is important to note the relevant time period.

Cycle Routes and Navigation

The Modrý okruh – Po stopách minulosti cycle route can start and end at the monument to the fallen of the First World War in the upper part of Zahořany. The Zelený okruh has the same possible starting and ending point; it is marked throughout with green tourist cycle-route markings. When choosing a route, both share the same reference point for the start and finish; the Zelený also has green markings to help with navigation. Check the route markings locally as you plan your current ride.

Rest Stop at the Monument

There is a rest area and a drinking fountain at the monument itself. If you start or finish either route there, you can plan a break at the same reference point. This combination of route guidance and a place to rest makes the monument a practical place to plan your trip. Check the facilities locally when you visit, as such amenities may change.

Chapel of St. Ludmila

The Chapel of St. Ludmila was consecrated in Zahořany. If you are interested in the local religious history, the chapel offers a specific point of interest.

Fishing at Zahořanský Pond

In 2025, only catch-and-release fishing was allowed at Zahořanský Pond. Every fish caught had to be returned to the water immediately. Fishing was permitted from the dam and from the right or left bank; it was prohibited from the beach and at the inlet. The fishing method and permitted areas were two separate conditions under the rules in force at the time. If fishing is important to your trip, check the currently applicable permits and authorized fishing areas before you go.

Summer Garden with Playground

Hostinec U Pepíčka has a summer garden with a children’s playground. The playground is part of the summer garden, which is a seasonal amenity; check whether the area is currently open before your visit. If you are travelling with children, you can include the playground as a specific stop in your plans for the village.

The Zahořanská 10 in 2025

The Zahořanská 10, held in 2025, featured a 10.2 km forest course with 250 metres of elevation gain. The distance and elevation gain go together to describe the key details of that year’s course. For anyone interested in running events, it is a dated point of reference for sporting activity in Zahořany.
