There are several ways to focus a trip to Vusi: the HREJKOVICKÝ POTOK 1 fishing grounds, the valley of the Hrejkovický potok and the Romanesque Church of St. Bartholomew nearby. The curved bay of the Orlík Reservoir and a mooring on the Orlík Waterway are also worth noting. This brings together activities, scenery and architectural history. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, you can start by considering which of these themes you would like to shape your trip to Vusi most.
Fishing and Orlík Bay
The HREJKOVICKÝ POTOK 1 fishing grounds begin at the boundary signs near the mouth of the Hrejkovický potok, where it flows into the Orlík Reservoir near Vusi, and extend as far as the springs. Fly fishing, float fishing and bottom fishing are permitted in the fishing grounds; methods are subject to the current permit conditions. Before fishing, also check the current permit and access rules. The flooded lower reaches of the Hrejkovický potok form a curved bay of the Orlík Reservoir about 2 km long. For a fishing-focused trip, the fishing-ground boundaries and permit conditions are key; the bay, by contrast, offers a scenic perspective shaped by its curved form and the flooded lower reaches.
Church of St. Bartholomew: architecture and local history
Near Vusi, the Church of St. Bartholomew stands within the cadastral area of Vusi. The Romanesque church has an old cemetery and is considered an important feature of the townscape and landscape. In 1960, it was moved from the flooded village of Červená to a higher location. The Romanesque classification describes the building’s style, while the 1960 relocation relates to local history: it connects the church with the flooded village of Červená. Those interested in architectural history as well as scenery and fishing will find a distinct point of interest here; the year and place of origin make the relocation concrete.
Valley and cave along the Hrejkovický potok
Near Vusi, the Hrejkovický potok flows through a deep and unexpectedly wild valley that is a popular destination for tramps. A 2020 museum publication places a rock cave about 1 km south of Vusi, along the Hrejkovický potok, and describes the adjacent path as heavily used by tourists. If you would like to include the cave in your plans, check its current accessibility before visiting. The church and the cave have different geographical contexts: the church stands nearby and within the cadastral area of Vusi, while the rock cave is about 1 km south of the village.
Getting your bearings on the water and by road
On the Orlík Waterway, Květov/Vůsí is listed at river kilometre 177 as a designated mooring for boats. A 2020 municipal cultural publication describes the road from Vusi towards the water as a winding paved road. These are two distinct points of reference for finding your way: the mooring on the water, and the direction and road surface on land. Before taking a boat trip, check the current waterway information, and if using the road description, check the current road conditions.
