Plazy offers several distinct themes to consider when planning a trip: the parish church of sv. Šimona a Judy, the Tvrziště Volenovice archaeological site, and a cycling tour on Route 8155. You can choose between a church complex in the town centre, a vanished medieval fortification, and a specific route through several places. When planning your stay, you can first decide whether church architecture, archaeology or cycling is most important to you.

Church and town centre

The parish church of sv. Šimona a Judy stands on a slight rise in the centre of Plazy. A stone boundary wall encloses the complex; it is entered through a pillar gate on its north side. The elevated position, enclosure and northern entrance are among the complex’s defining features. Regular services are held in the church. Check the service times before your trip, as arrangements may change. The church is not accessible to wheelchair users. Take this into account when planning, and check accessibility again before your trip.

Tvrziště Volenovice: a medieval archaeological site

Classified as a significant archaeological site, Tvrziště Volenovice is a vanished fortification dating from the late Middle Ages. It lies on the southern edge of the settlement of Valy, in a small deciduous wood. The circular core is barely discernible; there is also an inner and outer ring ditch, as well as traces of an inner rampart. These features provide concrete clues to the layout, even though the fortification has disappeared. The chronology also has two distinct points of reference: finds from the site date to the 14th century, while the settlement of Volenovice was abandoned at the beginning of the 16th century. The two dates refer to different things: one refers to the finds, the other to the abandonment of the settlement.

Cycling route and stay

The cycling tour on Route 8155 runs through Dolní Stakory, Valy and Plazy to Řepov, where it connects with Route 8148 to Mladá Boleslav. For route planning, these are two separate sections: Route 8155 goes as far as Řepov, while the onward connection to Mladá Boleslav follows Route 8148. Check route conditions and local signage before setting off. Plazy also has a nohejbal and tennis court.

When looking for a holiday apartment in Plazy, you can choose which of these themes to focus on. Consider whether you want to centre your stay on church architecture and archaeological history, cycling route planning, or a mix of these interests. The route connection offers a distinct way to plan your trip, while the church and archaeological site highlight different aspects of the area’s history.
