Stehlovice brings together the valley of the Jetětický potok, the Skalice and routes with different characteristics. The landscape, a nature-rich walk and traces of local history each offer their own highlights. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Stehlovice, the main focus of your stay is a good place to start: would you like to walk mainly around the village, include an educational trail through the surrounding countryside, or learn about the chapel and local events?

Landscape and walking routes

Stehlovice lies in the valley of the Jetětický potok, at the foot of the Skalice. At 531 metres, it is the highest point in the area. On a clear day, it offers views of the Šumava panorama. The view is therefore dependent on clear conditions.

The nature-rich Zábavná stezka is a walking route through Stehlovice, with 13 stops featuring educational and playful elements. Children can play there, while adults can relax. The route combines a walk through the village with stops that offer their own reasons to pause. This sets it apart from the Skalice, whose main draw is the panorama on a clear day.

Another educational trail, Naučná stezka Vejrovského zemanství, passes through the picturesque countryside around Branice, Stehlovice and Veselíčko. The routes therefore cover different areas: the Zábavná stezka runs through Stehlovice, while the educational trail takes in the countryside around three municipalities. This distinction is useful if you would rather focus your stay on a walk with stops or a route through the wider countryside.

Village history and local events

The chapel of Saint John of Nepomuk, dating from the first half of the 19th century, stands in the village square. In front of the chapel is an iron cross on a stone pedestal dating from 1865. The two landmarks can be distinguished by their dates: the chapel dates from the first half of the 19th century, while the cross is associated with a specific year.

Local events also mark the year. The traditional pilgrimage is celebrated annually on Saint Anne’s Day. Posvícení takes place on 16 October. If you would like to plan your trip around either date, check the announcements for the relevant travel year in advance.

Railway and cycle route

Railway line No. 201 passes through Stehlovice and runs from Tábor via Milevsko, Písek and Ražice to Strakonice. At Stehlovice railway station, tickets are sold to passengers on the train, not at the station. Check this service information before travelling, as railway services may change.

A cycle route is also described through the village: Route No. 1152 passes through Stehlovice and connects Milevsko, at the junction near Tyrolský dům, with Route No. 31. The railway line and cycle route offer different reference points for planning. For the railway, the named places along the route are relevant; for the cycle route, it is the connection in Milevsko.

Plan your stay around what interests you

When looking for a holiday apartment in Stehlovice, you can consider the village in terms of your planned activities. The walking route passes through the village and has 13 stops, while the Vejrovský educational trail focuses on the countryside around Branice, Stehlovice and Veselíčko.

When planning your trip, you can first decide whether a route, a date or the history of the village square will be the deciding factor for your stay.
