Holiday apartment in Nabočany: Discover history and cycling routes

Between the village square, castle history and cycling routes

Nabočany is a destination for you if you would like to combine historical traces, notable places in the centre and active discoveries during your holiday. The history of the village goes back a long way, while several signposted local cycling routes lead through Nabočany and cross here. In Nabočany, culture and local history are just as central as days spent cycling.

Historical traces in the village

The first mention of Nabočany dates back to 1275, when a certain Dluhomil from Nabočany appears in the records. The oldest surviving building in the village is House No. 1, dating from 1701. Both dates provide the village's history with a clear chronological framework and make Nabočany particularly interesting for visitors who are looking for specific historical points of reference on their walks.

In the Louka Parkán area, the village includes the site of a fortress, evidenced by a predicate documented for the year 1259. Nabočany Castle also tells of change over the centuries: the dilapidated castle was converted into a Baroque chateau in 1692. It currently belongs, together with the adjacent farmyard, to an agricultural enterprise and is used as residential accommodation.

Another notable point is located in the park on Nabočany village square. There you will find a bell tower and a statue of Saint John of Nepomuk. There is also a chapel in the centre. Several cultural themes are located directly in the village: a medieval mention, preserved historic buildings, religious sites and the history of the castle.

Events and cycling experiences

Nabočany was once again the venue for the agricultural event “Naše pole” for two days. It presented the latest results from breeding and research to the agricultural community, including varieties and new technological processes. The event complements the historical themes with a factual perspective on agriculture, research and modern methods.

For active days on holiday, there is the 62-kilometre cycling route “Through the Landscape of the Ležák, Žejbro and Krounka”. It is designated as a cycling route; according to the route description, it is probably best tackled by train. The 62 kilometres provide a fixed framework for planning the day.
