Ochoz: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Ochoz is a place where historic chapels, the Ochozská kyselka mineral spring in the Pilávka Valley, and local events come together to create a diverse character. Ochoz is first mentioned in historical records in 1351.

History and Chapels

The Chapel of Saint Wenceslas, dating from 1884, stands near the school in Ochoz. The Chapel of Saint Libor is located at a crossroads of the old trade route towards Kladky. The original Chapel of Saint Libor dates from 1669; it was rebuilt in 1910.

Valley and Spring

The Ochozská kyselka mineral spring lies in the valley of the Pilávka River, near the former Ochozský mlýn. At present, it is found only at one spring, which is in poor condition. The water of the Ochozská kyselka can currently be collected at a spring with a hand pump next to a wooden pavilion. The entire Pilávka Valley is ideal for walks; the Ochozská kyselka is also a popular excursion destination.

Local Life and Events

DEN U NÁS is a 24-hour gastronomic experience combining nature, traditions, crafts, art, and cuisine. Major events in Ochoz include the Svatováclavské vepřové hody.

In the Rakovské Valley on the outskirts of Ochoz u Konice, Náš Mlýn is a project to revive the Ochozský mlýn. Náš Mlýn offers a venue for wedding receptions. Guests can rent the premises of Náš Mlýn for several days to host a private event.
