Čechy U Přerova: Bell Tower, Dvůr Mariánov and Trails

You can get to know Čechy U Přerova through several distinctive local features. These include the historic bell tower, two marked cycling routes and the Koupaliště with its 50-metre main pool. Outside the main part of Čechy lies the independent former estate complex Dvůr Mariánov; the nearby woods provide a specific point of reference for walks.

Bell tower: building history and bell casting

The bell tower is a two-storey protected heritage building dating from the second half of the 18th century. Its bronze bell was cast in Olomouc in 1759, in the workshop of bell founder Wolfgang Straub. This places two historical dates side by side: the building period is assigned to an era, while the bell has an exact casting year. The bell tower is also one of the last surviving structures of its kind in the Czech Republic. The contrast between the building period and the dated bell casting brings architectural history and craftsmanship together in one subject.

Estate, woods and marked cycling routes

Dvůr Mariánov is an independent former agricultural estate complex outside the main part and built-up area of Čechy, near woods. Its location provides a starting point for walks in the area. The estate has racehorse stables where you can go horse riding. If you are planning a ride, check availability before your trip. Trees planted in the early 20th century on the former Sokolský stadion now form a significant group of protected trees. Two marked cycling routes run through Čechy. This gives you a distinction when choosing an activity: the cycling routes run through Čechy, while the nearby woods around Dvůr Mariánov are the point of reference for walks.

Koupaliště and lantern procession

The Koupaliště in Čechy has a 50-metre main pool, as well as a children's pool and a children's paddling pool. This lets you distinguish between the main pool and two pools expressly designated for children. If you are planning a visit to the Koupaliště, check the current opening information in advance. Another event tied to a particular date is the traditional lantern procession commemorating the victims of the world wars. If you would like to plan your trip around it, check the event dates in advance. The bell tower and protected group of trees are permanent local features; the lantern procession, on the other hand, requires you to check the date.

Getting there by bus

There are bus stops in Čechy and the surrounding area served by route 941 between Vsetín and Přerov; buses run on weekdays and weekends. Check the current timetable before travelling to plan the right connection for your trip. This allows you to include the bus service in your plans, whether you are particularly interested in local history, walks or the Koupaliště.
