Bohuslávky: Forest Nature Trail and Local History

When planning a trip to Bohuslávky, you can organize your plans around clearly identified natural and historical destinations. The main highlights are Obora Forest and the Študentova lesní naučná stezka, as well as the Chapel of All Saints, crosses, and a farmstead. These themes offer different starting points for planning your trip, from spending time in the forest to exploring the village’s historical landmarks.

Obora Forest and the Študentova lesní naučná stezka

Obora Forest lies west of Bohuslávky. Its northern boundary is the third-class road between Bohuslávky and Dolní Újezd. The Študentova lesní naučná stezka runs through the forest. It starts at a tourist shelter next to the road from Bohuslávky to Dolní Újezd. The starting point is therefore tied to a specific road; local access conditions may change, so it is advisable to check before visiting.

There are five information boards along the nature trail, covering flora, fauna, and life in the forest. The topics range from plants and animals to the forest as a habitat. If you would like to combine a walk in nature with explanatory information, this trail offers a clear focus. The boards cover nature and life in the forest, while the route through Obora provides the setting.

The nature trail is suitable for small children and can be walked with a stroller. If you are traveling with small children or using a stroller, these details may help you choose an outing. Together with the five boards and the named starting point, they provide practical information for planning the route, without implying a specific duration.

The trail’s name also reflects a connection to local forestry: it is named after local forester Ing. František Študent. His name has been associated with forestry in the forests and surroundings of Bohuslávky for more than 60 years. Obora Forest is also home to a 200-year-old sessile oak, a landmark tree and the symbol of Bohuslávky. Both the nature trail and the oak are among the natural features that can shape a visit to the forest area.

The Chapel, Crosses, and Local History

The first written mention of Bohuslávky dates to 1322 and appears in the so-called Osecký misál. This year marks the first written mention. Another specific date is associated with the Chapel of All Saints, which dates from 1809. These details offer two different historical reference points: an early written mention and a dated building.

There is a cross by the chapel. Another cross is located in Bohuslávky in the direction of Trnávka. The Kovaříkův grunt farmstead, house number 6, is also one of the village’s attractions. The chapel, crosses, and farmstead complement the written history of the village with named local landmarks.
