Býkovice combines landscape, history and routes to create a diverse local character. The main features are the natural area around the Býkovka, historical landmarks and several signposted routes through the village.
Nature and Landscape
The Býkovka stream flows through the built-up area of Býkovice. The Na Ohrazdě pond, a distinctive artificial landscape feature, lies near the built-up area. The “Lysicko” Nature Park covers approximately the western half of the cadastral area of Býkovice and is intended to support individual recreation in nature. The Býkovka Valley is a significant landscape area within this nature park. “Čtvrtky za Bořím” is also of particular ecological value: the area is a particularly valuable habitat for rare orchid species.
