Vlčetínec combines historic traces in the village with opportunities to spend time outdoors. A reconstructed chapel stands in the village square; three crosses are located in different places. The Vlčetínský rybník is 1 km away and offers an opportunity to swim. Cycling tours in the surrounding area and a ski lift in Horní Radouň are also seasonal activities. When choosing where to stay, you can therefore distinguish between local history and different kinds of outdoor activity. For orientation, bear in mind that some points are in the village, while others are in the surrounding area.

History from Origins to First Mention

The settlement originated around the 13th century. The first written mention of the place dates to 1359. These details refer to different points: the settlement’s origins are dated only approximately, while 1359 marks the written reference point. Historically, Vlčetínec belonged to the Kamenice estate. This makes it possible to distinguish the early origins from the specific written date, without turning the approximate date of origin into an exact year of foundation.

The Chapel and Crosses in the Village

A reconstructed chapel with a small bell tower stands in the village square. The condition of the chapel and the three crosses may change; check their condition in person when you visit. Two crosses are located southwest of the village, and one is in the centre. The chapel is in the village square, while the crosses are spread across two different locations. This spatial layout complements the village’s history with practical orientation around the village.

Swimming, Cycling and a Ski Lift

The Vlčetínský rybník is 1 km from Vlčetínec and offers an opportunity to swim. If you are planning to visit the pond for swimming, check the water conditions and access beforehand, as both may change. The surrounding area is well suited to cycling tours. Swimming focuses on one specific location, while cycling takes place across the surrounding area. These are different ways to spend time outdoors and can help you choose your plans for the day.

A ski lift is located in Horní Radouň, in the vicinity of Vlčetínec. It is relevant seasonally; operating status and conditions may change. If you are planning to use the lift, check current access before your visit. The swimming spot and the ski lift also differ in terms of which current conditions matter for planning: at the pond, water and access are important, while at the lift, operating status also matters.
