Payreschau (Boršov nad Vltavou) offers several points of interest for a stay: the Fritsch Trail, cultural sites, an international cycling route and a connection to the Vltava u Blanského lesa Natural Monument. Water sports on the Vltava are also part of the local profile. When planning your trip, you can weigh these themes according to your interests: outdoor activities, architectural history or the natural environment each offer a different focus.
Hiking and cycling, with different points of reference
The Fritsch Trail begins at the Church of St. James in Boršov nad Vltavou. It was laid out in three sections between 1933 and 1938. Its starting point and construction history give the trail a specific local and historical context. For those interested in hiking, the route’s origins are therefore as much a point of interest as its named starting point.
Another option for getting around is international cycling route 7 Greenway RD, Vltavská. It leads from Boršov nad Vltavou towards Zlatá Koruna. The Fritsch Trail has a named starting point at the church, while the cycling route is defined by its direction towards Zlatá Koruna. These are two different points of reference for planning a trip: a starting point in the village and a signposted direction along a cycling route.
Church and medieval local history
The Church of St. James in Boršov nad Vltavou is a late Gothic building. It contains a still-functioning bell dating from 1495 and a fresco of St. Christopher measuring more than seven metres. These details offer different cultural and historical perspectives: the architecture, a dated object that remains in use, and a large-scale image. Those interested in architectural or art history will find several specific points of interest at the church.
Another historical landmark is the medieval stronghold site of the Lords of Boršov, dating from the 13th century. This date points to an earlier period than the late Gothic church. Taken together, the two sites bring different eras of local history into focus: the 13th century and the late Gothic period.
Gardens and natural surroundings
The gardens offer their own points of interest. Habermannův sad has been restored, while the Farská parish garden features visual artworks. Restoration is the focus at one site, while visual elements take centre stage at the other. If you would like to explore beyond churches and historic sites, these two gardens offer their own themes.
The Vltava u Blanského lesa Natural Monument is another point of interest in the natural environment. It also includes the cadastral area of Boršov nad Vltavou. Those interested in nature can include the protected-area connection in their travel plans alongside the village’s historical and cultural themes.
Cycling route or water sports on the Vltava
Boršov nad Vltavou is a destination for water sports enthusiasts travelling along the Vltava from Český Krumlov or Zlatá Koruna. This means that, alongside cycling, river activities are also part of the local profile.
