Vlachnovice has several ponds; the largest is called Vlachnovický rybník. The village’s history includes its early existence in the 14th century and iron ore mining in the 19th century. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, you can weigh up the local attractions and your journey together: public transport does not serve Vlachnovice, and the nearest stops and railway stations are outside the village.

Ponds and Landscape

Vlachnovice has several ponds; Vlachnovický rybník is the largest. The trees on its dam are designated as natural features that are important to the character of the village and the landscape. The consolidated municipal plan containing this designation came into force on 18 December 2024. An academic field study published in 2021 described the pond as partially shaded by mixed forest in a holiday-home area. Vegetation and land use can change. So, in addition to the largest pond’s size, the trees on its dam and the described shade in its surroundings are also worth noting.

Village History and Buildings

Vlachnovice was already in existence in the 14th century; iron ore was mined here in the 19th century. These are two distinct periods: the village’s existence dates back to its early history, while mining belongs to a later phase. An abandoned cemetery with several surviving gravestones is located beside the road from Jílovice. The so-called Velký statek is the largest building in the village and belongs to the Pexů family. The dates provide the chronological context, while the cemetery and Velký statek are distinct, specific points of reference in the village.

Getting There and Finding Your Way

Vlachnovice lies on a local road between Jílovice and Lhota. When planning to travel by public transport, it is important to know that it does not serve the village. The nearest bus stops are in Jílovice, 4 km from Vlachnovice. The nearest railway station is Hluboká u Borovan, also 4 km away; Jílovice-nádraží is 5 km from Vlachnovice. The same distance of 4 km therefore leads to two different reference points: Jílovice for the bus stops and Hluboká u Borovan for the railway station. Check connections and plan the rest of your journey before setting off; the distances in kilometres are not travel times.

Consider Your Holiday Apartment and Journey Together

If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Vlachnovice, you can assess the village by considering two questions: Do the ponds and historical connections suit your planned stay, and how important is having public transport directly in the village? The latter is especially relevant here, since public transport does not serve Vlachnovice. The distances listed give an idea of where the bus stops and railway stations are, but do not answer whether there is a specific connection on your travel day. Check connections before your trip and weigh them separately from your local interests.
