Discover Počedělice on the Ohře

Počedělice lies on the left bank of the Ohře and in the hinterland of the České středohoří Protected Landscape Area. The village combines a historic village square with the Church of Saint Gallus, a flood marker and a cycle route. The land is predominantly used for agriculture; forests cover only a small part of the municipal area and lie in the Ohře Valley southwest of Volenice.

Village Square and the 1862 Flood

Počedělice was founded as a market village with a regular, square-shaped village square. The shape of the square provides a concrete point of reference for understanding the village’s historic layout. In the western part of the square stands a stone cross marking the water level reached during the devastating flood of 2 February 1862. The marker links the square to a precisely dated event in the history of flooding. The flood of 2 February 1862 is part of the history of flooding, while the Baroque redesign of the church’s western façade in 1760 is part of the architectural history of Počedělice.

The Church of Saint Gallus

The Church of Saint Gallus was built in the Late Romanesque style. It was enlarged in the Gothic style in the 14th century, and its western façade was redesigned in the Baroque style in 1760. The year 1760 therefore refers to the alteration of the façade, while the church itself dates back to an earlier Late Romanesque period. The protected complex includes the church, the surrounding wall, a stone cross, 16 cast-iron crosses and the enclosed plots. The village square reflects the settlement’s layout, while the church represents several building phases; each highlights a different period in the village’s history.

Other Cultural Attractions

The Zdeněk Sýkora commemorative panel in Počedělice is open to the public year-round. You can therefore include this cultural attraction in your plans regardless of seasonal opening periods. The Počedělská šlápota sports and tourism event is also part of village life: it was held in Počedělice in 2024 and 2026. If you want to plan a trip around the event, check the dates for your chosen year.

Cycling Through Počedělice

The Ohře Cycle Route No. 6 passes through Počedělice and continues to Litoměřice, where it connects with the Elbe Cycle Route No. 2. Over its full course, the Ohře Cycle Route runs from its source between the Bavarian towns of Bischofsgrün and Bad Weißenstadt to Litoměřice. This puts the stretch through Počedělice in the context of the wider route. If you are planning to ride it, check the trail conditions and signage before setting off.

Plan Your Stay

If you are looking for a hotel for a stay in Počedělice, first decide what you want to focus on: the village square and the Church of Saint Gallus offer points of interest for local history, while the Ohře Cycle Route No. 6 is a good option for a cycling trip.
