The village square of Strunkovice nad Volyňkou includes the Chapel of Saint John of Nepomuk and its adjoining green space. Opposite stands a rural farmstead; the village also lies on the right bank of the Volyňka. Architectural history, village layout and the river setting therefore come together—three concrete perspectives to help you decide whether Strunkovice suits your travel interests.
Village Square and Rural Architecture
The chapel dates from 1883, and Saint John of Nepomuk is its patron saint. These details offer different points of emphasis: the year places the chapel in time, while its patronage identifies its religious association. Together with the green space, it makes the village square a tangible architectural and cultural feature.
On the north side of the village square, opposite the chapel, stands rural farmstead No. 17. It is a two-storey, brick-built agricultural farmstead with a gable, an enclosed layout and a barn arranged at right angles. Different building functions therefore meet around the same village square: the chapel as a religious building and the farmstead as an agricultural property. Its position opposite the chapel is as much a part of the village scene as the farmstead’s distinctive architectural layout.
Another Historical Perspective
The Strunkovice hillfort adds a hilltop site to the village-square architecture. It comprises a 0.99 ha acropolis and a 0.85 ha outer bailey area. Both areas lie on the plateau and ridge of a hill. The area figures refer to different parts of the site; together with the description of the terrain, they provide a distinct measure of this aspect of local history.
The Volyňka and the Cycling Route
The village’s location on the right bank describes its relationship to the Volyňka. The Volyňka cycling route provides a different, wider-area connection: it runs for 41 km between Strakonice and the source of the Volyňka, and Strunkovice nad Volyňkou is one of its points of interest.
The cycling route is described as having an easy profile because it follows the river as closely as possible. The river location and the route profile answer different questions: one describes where the village is situated, the other the character of the route. The 41 km refers to the stretch between the stated endpoints; Strunkovice is one of the points of interest along the route. This lets you consider the village’s setting and the length of the cycling route as two separate aspects of your travel planning.
