Cycling route 1080, a chapel dating from 1914 and a stream in the southeast offer different starting points for a stay in Mydlovary. The village is one of the nine historic villages of Zbudovská Blata. Cycling, local cultural heritage and waterways raise different questions when planning a trip. Would you mainly like to choose a route, explore the building’s history or understand local remembrance? These interests can be considered separately rather than combined into a fixed itinerary.

The chapel and local remembrance

The Chapel of the Most Holy Trinity was built in 1914. It is a small, centrally located, brick structure with a trefoil ground plan. The year it was built and its shape offer two different perspectives on the chapel: the date places it in time, while the ground plan adds an architectural feature. There is also a Boží muka in the southeastern part of Mydlovary. The chapel and the Boží muka are distinct points of reference for local cultural heritage.

The Mydlovarská pouť regularly commemorates residents who fell in the First World War. This remembrance gives the festival a local significance that goes beyond its name. If you would like to plan your trip around the pouť, check the dates of each event in advance.

Stream and pond

The Mydlovarský potok flows through the southeastern part of Mydlovary and empties into the Mydlovarský rybník. The pond lies on the edge of the municipality, in the cadastral area of Zliv u Českých Budějovic. To understand the local geography, it is helpful to distinguish between the course of the stream and the location of the pond: the stream runs through the southeastern part of the village, while the pond is situated on the municipal boundary. Thus, a watercourse within Mydlovary and a boundary location both form part of the same local landscape.

Cycling routes and getting there

Several named cycling routes pass through Mydlovary. Cycling route 1080 runs through the village between Vodňany and Hluboká nad Vltavou. The “Včelařská stezka” cycling route also passes through it. In addition, the “Okruh ze Zlivi přes Blata” cycling circuit also runs through Mydlovary. Route 1080 is defined by its endpoints, while the “Okruh” is explicitly a circuit. This helps distinguish between a route connecting two places and a loop when planning. As route conditions can change, check them before setting out.

The České Budějovice–Plzeň railway line is another point of reference: it runs through the southwestern part of Mydlovary, but there is no railway station within the municipality. So, a railway line passing through the area does not mean you can get off in the village. If having a railway station at your overnight destination is essential for your journey, take this into account when planning.

Choose accommodation based on the purpose of your trip

When looking for a holiday apartment in Mydlovary, it helps to first decide what you want to focus on during your trip: cycling, building history or remembrance at the Mydlovarská pouť each raise different planning questions.
