Bačice: Village Green, Cultural Monuments and Traditional Customs

Bačice combines a clearly defined village layout with registered cultural monuments and traditional events. The surrounding area also includes natural areas with opportunities for fishing. These different features can help guide you when considering Bačice as a destination for a stay: you can focus separately on the village setting, the customs or the natural surroundings.

Village Centre and Cultural Monuments

The centre of Bačice consists of two interconnected areas. One is the village green, distinguished by a chapel. Original farmhouses are arranged in a circle around the green. Together, the chapel, open central space and arrangement of houses form a distinctive village layout. Anyone interested in settlement patterns will find more here than a single historic feature: the description of the village centre also covers the relationship between the green and the farmhouses.

The bell tower of Bačice stands on the village green and is registered as an immovable cultural monument. This adds a specific architectural monument to the spatial character of the centre. Another registered immovable cultural monument is the cross behind Udeřice. These two references concern different structures; the cross is specifically associated with its location behind Udeřice. If you are interested in cultural history, you can consider both the layout of the village centre and individual monuments as distinct aspects of the destination.

Traditional Events

The Bačická pouť includes the traditional “zavádění” procession through the village. The DUBŇANKA brass band accompanies the procession. At the traditional “Pálení čarodějnic” in Bačice–Udeřice, a Špekáček sausage is provided for children to roast; this offering may vary from one edition to another. The customs also differ in form: the Bačická pouť centres on a procession with musical accompaniment, while “Pálení čarodějnic” includes food for children to prepare themselves.

A procession through the village with the Smrtolka, intended to welcome spring, was planned in Bačice for 22 March 2026. A “Velikonoční stezka” (Easter Trail) took place in Bačice from 3 to 12 April 2026. The activity “Pletení žil” (wicker whip braiding) was also scheduled for 5 April 2026. These dates place the spring offerings in time and distinguish a planned procession from the Easter activity and the longer duration of the Easter Trail. If you would like to combine your stay with an event, please check the dates for your intended travel period.

Weighing Nature and Other Interests

The area around Bačice includes attractive natural areas with opportunities for fishing. This connection with nature differs from the features described in the village centre: while the village green and bell tower are part of the village setting, fishing is an activity associated with the surrounding area.

You can weigh these priorities against one another when making your choice: the village layout and registered monuments appeal to those interested in local culture; the customs offer an event-related experience tied to specific dates or editions; and fishing takes place in natural areas nearby. This can help you decide which aspects of Bačice suit your travel plans without combining the different themes into a single offering.
