Nature

The Bohuslavický stream flows through Bohuslavice, with a cascade of ponds along its course. A statue of Saint John of Nepomuk dating from 1757 stands on an island in Věžiště Pond. Carp were once bred in the Bohuslavice pond cascade. Its creation dates back to the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries. When planning your visit, the bodies of water can be considered as a separate thematic section alongside the churches and other historic buildings. You can deliberately assign different importance to individual natural and cultural attractions.
