Discover Sázavka

Sázavka Between Local History and Landscape

Several different themes can be combined when planning your trip to Sázavka: the Church of St. John the Baptist is located in the center, while the Evangelical cemetery church is situated in the northern part. The lower course of the Sázavka runs along the western edge of the municipality, while a marked cycling route passes through the municipality towards Lubno u Bačkova. This allows you to combine cultural discoveries in the village with the landscape, the SV001 nature reserve and a specific cycling connection.

Church of St. John the Baptist

The Church of St. John the Baptist stands in the center of Sázavka and is therefore a clear reference point for the local history. It has Gothic origins and is also a single-nave early Gothic building. These two classifications in particular make the church an especially tangible example of the historical character of the village: it is connected with Sázavka not only through its location, but also through its architectural history. If you are interested in sacred architecture, you will find here a specific cultural point of interest that can be located directly in the center.

Evangelical Traces and Monuments

The Evangelical cemetery church is located in the northern part of Sázavka. The history of the Evangelical chapel also includes its ceremonial opening together with the cemetery on October 4, 1880. The chapel was created by converting an older cooperage. Thus, Sázavka is home not only to religious buildings, but also to an unusual conversion and a precisely dated event that are central to the local history.

The Smírčí kříž is part of Sázavka’s historical and cultural heritage. A granite monument on the main road also commemorates the victims of the First and Second World Wars. Those who wish to get to know the village through its history can therefore distinguish between different forms of remembrance: sacred buildings, a historical marker and a public monument.

Nature and Cycling Route on the Western Edge

The lower course of the Sázavka runs along the western edge of the municipality. The SV001 nature reserve has been designated there because two specially protected fish species occur there. Sázavka’s connection with nature is thus linked to a specific protection designation and to a particular section of the municipality.

A marked cycling route passes through the municipality of Sázavka via road III/34734 and then along a local road towards Lubno u Bačkova. This information provides clear guidance if, when planning your trip, you would like to combine the village’s cultural area with a cycling tour. The route is not described merely as a general cycling connection; its course via road III/34734 and then towards Lubno u Bačkova provides a more precise classification.
