Ulice combines tangible architectural history with opportunities for forest walks and cycling: the municipality is home to a rare rural late Renaissance church and a Baroque chapel; extensive forests, cycling routes and the Hracholusky Reservoir are also part of the area’s character. When planning your visit, you can give each interest a different emphasis—buildings, walks and traces in the forest, or a cycling tour.

Churches and architectural history

The Church of St. Lawrence in Úlice is a rare example of a rural late Renaissance church from the early 17th century. Hracholusky is home to the hexagonal Baroque Chapel of St. Diviš, built in 1682. Their styles, forms and dates distinguish the two religious buildings and give you concrete options for a cultural and historical focus.

Úlice Castle is another historical landmark in its own right. It was built between 1760 and 1770 on the site of a Gothic fortress. This distinguishes the later castle from the older fortified structure. Together, the church, chapel and castle offer different architectural forms and historical periods, without requiring you to follow a set visiting order.

Forests and historical traces

The extensive forests in the municipality are suitable for walks; mushroom picking is another recreational activity. You can therefore focus your time in the countryside on walks or make mushroom picking a separate priority. Historic atonement crosses and the remains of abandoned farmsteads can also be found in the forests of Úlice. Alongside the natural environment, traces of earlier human presence are another theme to explore.

You can give these interests different emphasis when planning your trip: walking and mushroom picking are two ways to spend time in the forest; atonement crosses and farmsteads add a historical dimension. The activities and traces described here represent different aspects of the municipality, not a set itinerary. You can focus on one interest or choose several themes for your stay.

Reservoir and cycling

The Hracholusky Reservoir is located within the municipality of Úlice. It was created by the construction of a dam on the Mže and filled in 1964. Its origins offer a different perspective on the history of the landscape than the churches and castle: here, the focus is on the changes brought about by dam construction.

Cycling routes run through the municipality. As route availability may change locally, check the route before setting out. Luhov Castle is reachable by bicycle from Úlice; check the current route before departure for this journey, too. This lets you plan cycling as a separate part of your trip without assuming a specific connection between the places mentioned.

Garden in Jezná

The Zahrada ticha garden is located near the Church of the Most Holy Trinity in Jezná. It has fruit bushes and herb beds and is freely accessible to pilgrims. If you plan to visit the garden, confirm access locally before your visit. Its location by the church and its garden areas make it a distinct, well-defined destination among the municipality’s different attractions.

Choose accommodation based on your interests

When looking for hotels in Ulice, you can first decide whether architectural history, forest walks or cycling will shape your stay. Then compare the location of a specific property with your planned destinations and check the routes. This way, your choice reflects your personal interests rather than assuming a particular order for your visits.
