Bukovany: Hotels and accommodation

Bukovany lies at the foot of the last foothills of the Nízký Jeseník and is part of the RC4 Olomoucko – východ recreational area.

Townscape and history

Several original Hanakian farmhouses have been preserved in the centre of Bukovany. The original urban structure of the village square is also considered an urban-planning asset. The T. G. Masaryk Monument is one of the locally significant cultural monuments.

Bukovany is first mentioned in 1131; at that time, Bishop Jindřich Zdík consecrated a new church dedicated to Saint Wenceslas. The Church of St Anthony of Padua was built in Bukovany in 1992. The Baroque Chapel of St Donatus was built in 1774 and stands above Bukovany on an old road to the pilgrimage church on Svatý Kopeček near Olomouc. As an immovable cultural monument, it is listed in the Central Register of Cultural Monuments of the Czech Republic.

Routes

Bukovany is the second stop on the pilgrimage educational trail from Svatý Kopeček to Svatý Hostýn. The pilgrimage route is just under 50 km long and has 19 information panels, including one in Bukovany. The village is also located on the “Svatý Kopeček – Bazilika a ZOO” cycle route, which is classified as moderately difficult.

Transport and other uses

Bukovany is connected to public transport by MHD bus services. From 9 August to 10 October 2026, a temporary pump track was installed in the car park near Koliba; it was intended for inline skates, roller skates, skateboards, BMX bikes and kick scooters.
