Bolehošť: Hotels and Accommodation

The Lovecký zámeček stands on a hill above the village and is a distinctive landmark of Bolehošť. It was built around 1700 by Jeroným Colloredo, the owner of the Opočno estate. The building was created for hunters who could rest, eat and occasionally spend the night there.

Culture and History

Bolehošť and Bolehošťská Lhota are first mentioned in a surviving written record from 1394. A later symbol of the village’s history is the stone Zvonička bell tower: it was built in 2004 to mark the 610th anniversary of the first mention of the municipality. It houses a historic bell cast in 1644 in Hradec Králové by Martin Exner. The Zvonička also maintains the revived tradition of ringing the bell every Sunday at noon.

During a walk through Bolehošť, visitors can see a memorial to the victims of the World War and a Christian cross. The former evangelical school is also located in the village. In Bolehošťská Lhota, the chateau was built around the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries.

Nature and Landscape

Bolehošť is surrounded by extensive forests on three sides. The Chropotínský háj Nature Reserve is located nearby and protects a remnant of a floodplain forest with species-rich vegetation.

An avenue of lime trees begins at the Lovecký zámeček and extends southeast to Klabák Forest.
