The Chapel of St. Rosalia lies in the floodplain of the Rachačka stream in the cadastral area of Olešník. You can plan a trip to Olešník around its architectural history, summer swimming or cycling. Alongside the chapel, the former Schwarzenberg farmyard represents historic architecture; the outdoor swimming pool is a seasonal highlight, and two cycling routes offer different connections to the area. The key to planning your trip is deciding which of these themes you want to shape your stay. For practical planning, the summer season, bus service and specific route layouts are particularly relevant.
Chapel and farmyard
The Chapel of St. Rosalia is a brick building with a rectangular floor plan. A narrower rectangular presbytery forms the original Baroque chapel. The materials, overall form and narrower section provide specific features for understanding its architectural style; the difference between the rectangular floor plan and the narrower section is easy to recognize even without specialist knowledge. The former Schwarzenberg farmyard adds to the cultural and historical focus. It dates from 1724 and was built to a design by A. E. Martinelli. The farmyard offers the construction date and design as specific points of interest, while the chapel stands out for its form and original Baroque character. If you are interested in architecture, you can consider these two buildings as different starting points when choosing your stay.
Swimming as a summer option
Koupaliště Olešník offers a different, seasonal focus. In summer, the outdoor swimming pool has a 50 × 25-meter artificial swimming pool. There is also a smaller 15 × 15-meter children's pool and a water slide. The dimensions illustrate the difference in size between the two pools; the slide adds to the facilities. If swimming is an important reason for your trip, plan your visit for summer.
Bus service and cycling routes
