Several topics can help you plan a trip to Bradáčov: Polánka Nature Park, the Bradáčovské mokřady wetlands, the Chapel of St. Wenceslas and events held annually. When looking for a holiday rental for a trip to Bradáčov, it helps to decide whether you want to make nature, local history or an event date the focus of your visit. The nature park and wetlands offer different natural attractions; the chapel adds to the local history, while events provide a time-specific focus.

Woods, water and wetlands

Polánka Nature Park covers 15.6 km². It extends partly across the cadastral areas of Bradáčov and Horní Světlá u Bradáčova and also reaches into the administrative area of Bradáčov. The Batkovy and Domamyšlský les woodland complexes form its core. The park aims to preserve the character of a landscape with an extensive woodland complex, bodies of water and significant natural and aesthetic values. Woods and water are therefore equally part of the landscape the nature park is intended to preserve. The 15.6 km² figure refers to the total area of the nature park; its portion within the administrative area of Bradáčov should not be confused with that total. This helps put the local references in their spatial context.

The Bradáčovské mokřady wetlands lie in the valley of the Novomlýnský potok, southwest of Bradáčov. They comprise waterlogged, peat-forming meadows with cottongrass, somewhat drier thistle meadows and hillside spring areas. The contrast between very wet and somewhat drier ground makes the range of moisture conditions easy to grasp. The wetlands are also home to wetland plants and the critically endangered butterfly hnědásek rozrazilový. The two areas differ in scale and habitats: Polánka is characterised by woodland complexes and bodies of water, while the wetlands feature different types of meadows and spring areas.

The chapel and local history

Local history also has two precise dates. In 1925, the original chapel was demolished and a new one was built for 13,000 Kčs. On 28 September 1993, Bishop Antonín Liška of České Budějovice reconsecrated the Chapel of St. Wenceslas in Bradáčov. These dates mark a construction project and a later church occasion.

Events as a reason to visit

The Svatováclavská pouť pilgrimage takes place annually in Bradáčov. The Zlatá šlapka cycle race is also held every year and passes through Bradáčov; its finish is in Šebířov. The route of the Praha–Prčice march runs along the edge of Bradáčov’s built-up area. For planning purposes, the distinction matters: Bradáčov is a pass-through location for the race, while the march route runs along the edge of the built-up area. It is also worth checking the current route of the march. If a particular event date is the focus of your trip, check the latest dates for the year you plan to travel.
