Hrejkovice combines landscape and water with specific cultural and historical points of interest. Jezero Pond lies west of the village, while chapels, preserved wooden buildings and a monument also shape the local history. When planning a stay, you can choose from different focuses: nature and bodies of water, the history of the village, or a hiking event.

Pond, stream and landscape

Jezero Pond lies west of Hrejkovice and covers 10 hectares. The surrounding area is gently hilly, with fields, small woods and copses. The landscape therefore cannot be reduced to a single viewpoint: fields and smaller wooded areas are part of its character, as is the water. The pond is a clearly identifiable landmark, while the hilly surroundings describe the broader character of the landscape.

Another body of water is Hrejkovický rybník. From there, the Hrejkovický potok flows south towards Velká and Květov; near the settlement of Vůsí, it flows into the Orlická přehrada. Hrejkovický rybník is also mentioned as a place for swimming. If swimming is important to your plans, check whether it is possible at your chosen time before you visit.

Chapels and remembrance

The Chapel of St John the Baptist in Hrejkovice dates from 1866. Hrejkovice also has a monument to the soldiers who fell in the First World War. These two places reflect different aspects of local history: the chapel is a building with a specific date, while the monument commemorates those who fell.

The architecture also contributes to the village’s historic character. Culturally and historically valuable wooden buildings from the 19th century have been preserved in Hrejkovice. Another chapel, Na Vinici, stands on a hill north of Pechova Lhota and was restored in 2008. There is also a state-protected lime tree and a state-protected oak. Together, these named buildings and trees offer different points of interest if you are interested in local history and cultural heritage.

An event that requires its own planning

The 2026 edition of Hrejkovická dvacítka was a 20-kilometre New Year’s hike. Its distance makes it a separate planning consideration and sets this event apart from a stay focused mainly on individual buildings or the landscape. If you are considering taking part in an edition, check its specific date before planning your stay around it.

Hrejkovice is on Road 19 between Tábor and Plzeň. This location helps put the village in geographical context. When looking for a holiday apartment, you can start by considering what you want your stay to focus on: Jezero Pond and the hilly landscape, the cultural and historical sites, or a hiking event. Then choose a specific accommodation to suit your reason for travelling.
