River landscape and architectural history
Kamenný Újezd lies on the right bank of the Vltava, where numerous meanders and rapids characterize the river. Its architectural history includes the parish church of All Saints, remodeled in the Late Gothic style, and the rectory, which has a Renaissance core. In Opalice, House No. 11 is decorated with sgraffito; a local legend is also associated with the village. The remains of Maškovec Castle stand on a high rock on the right bank of the Vltava. Cycle Route 7, its connection to Route 1121, and activities at Štilec offer additional topics to consider when planning your trip.
The landscape and cultural attractions appeal to different interests: the river offers a tangible connection to the landscape, while the architectural details reveal different historical styles and changes. When choosing a destination, you can therefore decide whether the Vltava landscape or architectural history should be the main focus of your trip.
Buildings and local stories
The parish church of All Saints in Kamenný Újezd was remodeled in the Late Gothic style at the end of the 15th century. The rectory in Kamenný Újezd has a different focus: it has a Renaissance core and was structurally altered in the 18th century. Thus, a Late Gothic remodeling and an older core with later alterations represent two distinct architectural histories. If you are interested in architecture, you can consider each building in terms of its respective phases of development.
In Opalice, House No. 11 is decorated with sgraffito. A local legend tells of two monks from Zlatá Koruna who are said to have hidden in the hollow trunk of a mighty oak. The house and the legend offer different cultural highlights: one is a specific façade decoration, the other a local storytelling tradition. In Opalice, you can therefore encounter two different forms of cultural heritage.
The remains of Maškovec Castle stand on a high rock on the right bank of the Vltava. The castle is classified as a significant archaeological site in category ÚAN I. This archaeological classification adds a distinct historical dimension to the description of the castle remains.
Štilec and cycling
Swimming is possible at Štilec pond; seasonal opening may vary. If you want to make swimming a firm part of your plans, check current availability before you travel. Štilec Mini Golf is open not only to campsite guests but also to the general public. The facility has 18 holes of varying difficulty. Before setting out, also check current access arrangements for mini golf. The practical conditions differ: seasonality is relevant for swimming, while current access is relevant for mini golf.
Cycle Route 7 Greenway RD, Vltavská, runs along the edge of Kamenný Újezd and connects to Route 1121. Route 7 is therefore located on the edge of the municipality, and a connection to another route is also specified. This gives you both a location reference and a link to another route for your cycling plans.
