Krašlovice combines local history, river landscapes and trails for hiking and cycling. This offers several ways to plan your trip: the archaeological history at Hrad, the rivers in the municipal area or the many trails through the town. Which of these aspects you would like to explore can shape the character of your stay.

History at Hrad and in medieval documents

Archaeological evidence shows that a fortified settlement from the Bronze Age stood on the summit of Hrad. The settlement was used by Celtic communities. The town’s history therefore reaches far back beyond the medieval written records.

The first historical document to mention Krašlovice and Vitice dates from 30 January 1262. On that day, King Přemysl Otakar II gave Krašlovice and Vitice, including fields, forests and mills, to the Benedictine nuns of St George’s Abbey. The abbey owned both places until the Hussite Wars. The charter thus provides a precisely dated reference point for the medieval history of the two places.

The Blanice, Stará řeka and the landscape

The Blanice River flows through Krašlovice. In the municipal area, it branches into the Blanice and the Stará řeka. There are several weirs in the Stará řeka valley. The river names and the valley provide specific landscape features for anyone particularly interested in waterways during their trip.

The landscape also has varied features away from the river courses. The area north of Krašlovice is hilly and mostly wooded; there are also waterlogged areas in the municipal area. The planned Svobodná hora Nature Park extends into the Krašlovice area from the south. Its status as a planned project is part of the picture of the town, alongside the landscape features described here.

For orientation, you can consider these features separately: the river landscape with the Stará řeka valley, the hilly and mostly wooded north, and the waterlogged areas in the municipal area. They offer different ways to understand the landscape of Krašlovice without reducing it to a single place or topic.

Plan your hiking, cycling and arrival

Numerous hiking and cycling trails run through Krašlovice. If you enjoy walking, you can follow the hiking trails; for a cycling trip, a specifically numbered route offers another way to plan. You can first decide whether you want to focus on hiking, cycling or local history.

Cycling Route No. 1073 runs from Vodňany through Krašlovice. If you want to include a numbered cycling route in your plans, you can distinguish this route from the general selection of hiking and cycling trails. Your choice of route depends on the focus you want for your trip.

There are bus stops in Krašlovice and on the border with Vodňany. If you plan to use the bus to get here or while travelling around, check the current timetable for your travel dates in advance.
