Those choosing Hlupín as a destination for a stay can base their decision on distinctive local features: two chapels with different architectural highlights, a memorial stone commemorating a French officer, and Cycling Route 1064. In Hlupín, architectural history, local remembrance and cycling sit side by side. This combination appeals to travellers who want to consider both cultural sites and an opportunity to cycle when choosing their destination.
Chapels with Different Highlights
The Chapel of St Anne Samodruhá was built in 1832. It is located by the Hlupín municipal office, on the road to Zadní Zborovice. Its year of construction and location provide two specific points of reference for this religious building. They also help distinguish it from the Chapel of St John of Nepomuk, which stands on the village green in Hlupín.
The Chapel of St John of Nepomuk is a significant urban-planning and architectural feature of the settlement. Its vernacular Baroque elements can be found in both the exterior and interior. The chapel’s interior is vaulted with a plate vault and ends in an apse. Its location, stylistic features and spatial layout offer different ways to appreciate the chapel—from the village green and its design to the details of the interior.
Memorial Site, Folk Architecture and Views
A heart-shaped memorial stone to an 18th-century French officer stands on a large glacial erratic in the southern part of Hlupín. It commemorates the officer’s death during the War of the Austrian Succession. Its shape, location in the village and historical significance set this memorial apart from the religious buildings: its focus is on a person and a specific wartime context.
Several noteworthy folk-architecture buildings complement the chapels and add to Hlupín’s architectural appeal. The surrounding countryside is also worth considering when choosing a destination: the area around Hlupín offers particularly fine views to the west and southwest. Viewing conditions may vary depending on the season.
Cycling through Hlupín
A road with a smooth surface runs through Hlupín and is used by cyclists and inline skaters. Cycling Route 1064 runs from Mečichov through Hlupín to Třebohostice. Both the specific road surface in the village and the route of a named cycling trail can help cyclists find their way.
Cycling route signage and road conditions may change. Check the latest information about the route and signage before setting out.
