Archaeological traces, village landmarks and specific routes give Štíhlice several points of interest for a stay. Its history ranges from local landmarks to the remains of a medieval settlement; at the same time, cycling and walking routes lead to different parts of the cadastral area. The routes differ in their specific alignments: the marked red walking route passes through woodland in the western part of the cadastral area; the described sections of the cycling routes follow named roads.
Archaeological Traces and Local History
The first written mention of Štíhlice dates from 1358. Another point of interest is the archaeological site of Lažany in the cadastral area of Štíhlice, which is classified as a significant archaeological site. It comprises the remains of a vanished medieval settlement with a fortress and several farmsteads. This brings together a precisely dated mention of the village and tangible settlement remains: one gives a year, while the other conveys the layout of an earlier settlement. Lažany lies at the edge of the forest, west of the road connecting Černokostelecká Street with Štíhlice.
Local natural and historical landmarks include three old lime trees, considered a local natural attraction, and the Freedom Lime on the village square. It was planted in November 1918. The statue of Saint John of Nepomuk is a new copy; the original statue was stolen. The column bell tower also has a clearly dated history: it dates from 1891 and was built to replace an older wooden bell tower. It stands on a rise in the village centre, on the road to Kozojedy. Together, the planting date, the copy and the bell tower offer different points of reference for exploring local history.
The Dolánky Woods and Walking Route
Štíhlice is a gateway to the Dolánky Woods. According to the municipality’s description, their character resembles that of the Šumava region. The Šembera stream shapes these woods and supplies a large part of Štíhlice’s streams. The forest, stream and village area are thus connected in a specific landscape relationship: the Šembera shapes Dolánky and also contributes to the streams of Štíhlice.
A marked red walking route passes through the woodland in the western part of the cadastral area of Štíhlice. This provides a walking connection with a clear link to the woodland landscape. For trip planning, it differs geographically from the cycling routes, whose described sections follow roads between named places.
Cycling Routes and Road Connections
The marked main cycling route No. 1 passes through the cadastral area of Štíhlice. It first follows road II/113 from Mukařov to Štíhlice, then road III/11312 to Vyžlovka, before continuing to Jevany. Cycling route No. 0089 branches off from this route in Štíhlice and follows road II/113 to Doubravčice. The named places and roads make the two cycling routes easy to distinguish: route 1 passes through Mukařov, Štíhlice and Vyžlovka on its way to Jevany, while route 0089 runs from Štíhlice towards Doubravčice.
If you are looking for a holiday apartment for a stay in Štíhlice, you can start by choosing the purpose of your trip: Lažany and the village landmarks offer a historical focus, while the cycling routes and the red walking route provide different ways to explore the surrounding area. This lets you plan around your interests without treating cycling and walking routes as the same kind of outing.
