Boseň: Hotels and Accommodation

The entire municipal area of Boseň lies within the Český ráj Protected Landscape Area (CHKO Český ráj).

Nature and Landscape

In the outer bailey of Valečov Castle stands the Boseň Lime Tree. It is 22 metres tall and has a trunk circumference of 795 centimetres at a height of 130 centimetres. Its age is estimated at around 400 years; in 1981, it was designated a protected tree. The crown has a bizarre shape, and the mighty trunk is hollow.

The rock town of Příhrazské skály consists of 178 towers and peripheral rock massifs.

Culture and History

The settlement of Mužský in Boseň is a village monument reserve; its centre consists predominantly of log-built architecture. Boseň is also home to the Church of Saint Wenceslas, a Baroque building dating from 1729.

The Klamorna archaeological site in the Mužský area is a prehistoric hillfort. Finds attest to human presence there as early as the Neolithic period, 5,000 years ago.

The entrance exhibition at Valečov Castle displays archaeological finds from the collections of the museum in Mladá Boleslav. The castle's core comprises a masonry palace, rock chambers and passageways. The ruins of Valečov Castle in Boseň are accessible year-round.

During the season, the Valečovské léto takes place annually in the amphitheatre below the castle, a popular festival featuring cultural, theatre and concert performances.

The Valečov–Drábské světničky hiking route is eight kilometres long and moderately difficult. The Golden Trail of the Český ráj leads through Valečov and on to Klamorna and Drábské světničky.
