Malšovice: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Malšovice extends from the course of the Elbe at around 130 m above sea level to its highest point, Javorský vrch, at 617 m. Meadows, pastures, field copses and field margins characterize the municipality; at the same time, natural monuments, protected landscapes and traces of history come together here.

Landscape and Nature

The Bohyňská lada Nature Reserve protects wet, mesic and dry grassland ecosystems with orchid populations and old fruit varieties. It also includes oak-hornbeam forests, alluvial forests and the preserved streambed of the Račí potok with its tributaries. The area is associated with Malšovice and covers 41.1383 hectares.

This nature reserve lies in the Malšovice cadastral area and is suitable for botanical and other natural-history excursions; such excursions already take place there. In the central area of Stará Bohyně, there is also a yew designated as a natural monument. The development of the municipality of Malšovice is influenced by the existence of the České středohoří Protected Landscape Area.

Culture and History

Javory is one of the seven districts of the municipality of Malšovice; the small Church of Saint Procopius stands in the village center. It originated as a stone chapel built in 1748–1749 and was finally converted into a late Baroque church between 1772 and 1816. The municipality of Malšovice carried out a restoration project on the building that included, among other things, the façade, windows, doors, roof and sacristy structures, masonry, wooden elements and the interior.

A pilgrimage has been held annually in Javory since 2007 on the feast day of Saint Procopius. Also in Javory, House No. 25 is a listed immovable cultural monument.

Finds from the Lusatian culture have been discovered in the archaeological area of Malšovice. There is also a vanished medieval fortified manor house there.
