Hostíčkov’s history reaches back to an early circular village settlement; at the same time, travelling by bus requires a specific request for the stop. Planning therefore requires both an understanding of the village’s history and awareness of the condition for the bus to stop.

An early settlement form and its history

Hostíčkov is an old Czech village that originated sometime in the 11th or 12th century as a typical circular village settlement. This early settlement form offers a different perspective on the village’s history from the later information about ownership and rule.

In 1273, Hostíčkov is mentioned as the property of Teplá Monastery. In 1576, the village passed from monastic ownership into the secular hands of the Šliks of Planá. Until serfdom was abolished in 1848, Hostíčkov was an agricultural village under the rule of Planá. The year 1848 thus marks a different turning point from the changes in ownership: it marks the end of serfdom, while the earlier dates place property and ruling arrangements in context.

The village’s ecclesiastical affiliation followed its own course. Hostíčkov initially belonged to the parish of Ovesné Kladruby and later permanently to the parish of Boněnov. Thus, the village’s historical picture encompasses its settlement form, rule, agriculture, and parish affiliation. These aspects complement one another but describe different facets of the village’s history.

Remembrance of the First World War

A 2011 municipal report states that the monument to the victims of the First World War was dismantled, cleaned, and reassembled. This adds a specific connection to the commemoration of the war to the older information about the settlement and its rulers. If you plan to include the monument in your visit, check its current condition on site.

Getting there on route 490758

IDPK route 490758 serves the Chodová Planá,Hostíčkov stop on the Planá–Chodová Planá–Boněnov route. The timetable is valid from 1 March to 12 December 2026. The stop is served only if requested by phone or from the driver. Take this condition into account when planning your journey and check the timetable for your travel date.

For directions, the request rule for this particular stop matters as much as the route number. Plan your journey using the current timetable and use one of the stated ways to request the stop if you need it. This keeps the time-limited timetable information linked to the practical requirement for the bus to stop.

Landscape and elevation

The lowest point in the administrative area of the municipality of Chodová Planá lies in the valley of the Kosí potok below Hostíčkov, at 490 metres above sea level. This elevation refers to the specified point within the administrative area, not to the elevation of the entire village. It places Hostíčkov in a specific landscape context without conflating information about the municipality with information about the village itself.
