Bohuňov – Discover the chapel, farmstead and trails

Bohuňov offers visitors historic buildings, marked trails and starting points for excursions in the surrounding area. The village is home to the Chapel of Saints Cyril and Methodius and a preserved farmstead; along the field paths, you can encounter further traces of the past. If you are looking for a hotel in Bohuňov, you can first consider whether cultural history, hiking and cycling, or an outing by the water will shape your stay.

Landscape, water and nature

The boundary of the Svratecká hornatina Nature Park runs through the cadastral area of Bohuňov. The southeastern tip of the Žďárské vrchy Protected Landscape Area is about 0.5 km from the northwestern to southwestern edge of the cadastral area; it is bounded by the Lísek–Skalský dvůr road and its junction with road I/19. White storks nest regularly in Bohuňov. South of the village lies Domanínský rybník, which is used for swimming and fishing. The pond is about 1.5 km from Bohuňov via field paths.

Chapel and historic buildings

The Chapel of Saints Cyril and Methodius was converted from a bell tower in 1929 and consecrated on 5 July 1929. Opposite it stands a stone cross dating from 1859. The Boží muka wayside shrine is located on a field path beyond Bohuňov. According to the inscription on its stone plaque, it was built in 1739.

Another historic attraction is the three-sided, masonry farmstead at No. 17 in Bohuňov. It is a preserved example of Horácko folk architecture; its gable bears an inscription dated 1857. The three-sided layout and the gable inscription offer two distinct points of reference for understanding the farmstead: its architecture and a specific historical date.

Hiking and cycling routes

A yellow-marked hiking trail runs roughly north to south through Bohuňov. The marked circular route “K Lučnímu baru u dráčka Poplety” leads from Hotel Skalský dvůr through Bohuňov to Mount Pletenice near Lísek. Below the mountain is a self-service Luční bar at Dráček Poplety. The route is 7 km long, takes about two hours and is suitable for preschool children.

A green-marked hiking trail leads from the Pletenice forest along a field path on the cadastral boundary between Janovičky and Písečné. For another way to get around, the 137 km “EUROVELO 4 + PRAGUE ROUTE” cycle route passes through Bohuňov before reaching Bystřice. When snow conditions are good, a groomed cross-country ski trail is also available: it runs from neighboring Domanín past Skalský rybník and Hotel Skalský dvůr to Zuberský rybník, continuing into the central part of the Žďárské vrchy.

When planning, you can compare the routes by activity and distance: the circular route is a 7 km hike taking about two hours, while the cycle route covers 137 km and passes through Bohuňov on its way to Bystřice. The cross-country ski trail, by contrast, is explicitly dependent on good snow conditions.

Getting there and choosing a hotel

Rozsochy railway station is 3.5 km from Bohuňov and can be used when travelling by train. There is also a bus service, including a direct route to Brno. Please check the timetables for your specific journey.

When looking for a hotel in Bohuňov, you can use your planned activities as a guide: cultural history, a marked hike, the cycle route or—when snow conditions are good—cross-country skiing each offer a different focus. This will help you choose accommodation to suit the stay you have planned.
