Holiday Apartment in Čechy – Nature, Ski Lift and History

Čechy lies in the hills of the Pohronská pahorkatina at an average elevation of 240 metres. Almost the entire municipality is surrounded by deciduous forests. The landscape also includes the water surface of the pond, nestled among the hills: the hilly surroundings and the pond create a picturesque view of the village and provide a beautiful natural backdrop for visitors in every season.

Landscape

The natural area includes the Krivé hrabiny Natura 2000 site (SKUEV0086). It covers 125.74 ha and includes plot 793 in the cadastral area of Čechy; protection level 2 applies there. Krivé hrabiny was proposed for the protection of the habitat types „Carpathian and Pannonian oak-hornbeam forests“ (91G0), „Pannonian-Balkan turkey oak forests“ (91M0) and „Euro-Siberian oak forests on loess and sand“ (91I0).

History and Culture

Čechy was first mentioned in writing in 1419. Between 1416 and 1419, several Hussite families settled in Čechy as part of the settlement's strong growth. A prominent testament to the history of the village is the church „Kostol sv. Petra a Pavla“. It was originally a Baroque church dating from 1735 and was rebuilt at the beginning of the 20th century.
