Družec: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Družec brings together historic landmarks, protected nature and paths that connect different ways of getting around. The village draws its character from sacred heritage and landscapes with a distinct character.

Culture and History

The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary is the oldest building in Družec. Between 1688 and 1690, it was rebuilt in the Baroque style into its present form.

Near the church in the centre of Družec stands a column with a statue of the Virgin Mary. At the cemetery wall near the church entrance, there is also an approximately human-sized, irregularly shaped sandstone block known as družecký Zkamenělec.

The village’s sacred heritage also includes the old, legendary Gothic wooden statue of the Virgin Mary with the Christ Child. It was associated with annual pilgrimages and processions. On the road to Doksy stands a statue of Saint Peter of Alcantara, about 60 metres from the cemetery. It is the only one of the four statues of saints that once stood in Družec and its surroundings to have survived to this day.

Nature and Landscape

The Povodí Kačáku Nature Park extends through Družec along the corridor of the Loděnice stream. The Pod Veselovem Nature Monument lies on the eastern edge of Družec’s built-up area. As a protected natural monument, it preserves a habitat of the dark violet pasque flower (Pulsatilla pratensis nigricans).

Paths and Hiking

The Družec–Doksy route is shared by cyclists and pedestrians. The Družec–Doksy cycle path is separated from motor traffic, and the Družec–Doksy connection is suitable for families with children.

On 23 May 2026, the 34th edition of the tourist hiking event Družecká šlápota took place in Družec.

Družecká Calvary

Družecká Calvary, also known as U tří křížů, is a viewpoint on a rocky promontory above the Loděnice stream, also called Kačák. Three crosses stand side by side at the highest point; they commemorate the Crucifixion of Christ and the victims of the plague who died at the beginning of the 19th century. From the village square in Družec, a route approximately 500 metres long leads there; it is paved at first and grassy towards the end.
