A former brickworks with a chimney about 16 m tall and four ponds give Hribeci two concrete themes for a stay: craft history and waterside scenery. There is also a paved path by Návesní rybník and local cultural events. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Hribeci, you can first consider whether the historic site, a walk or a suitable event date matters most for your trip.
Cihelna Hříběcí: A glimpse into historic brick production
The former Cihelna Hříběcí is on the eastern edge of Hříběcí, near the road from Horní Cerekev to Kamenice nad Lipou. Its good state of preservation gives an impression of historic brickmaking as a craft. The long building was used to dry and fire the bricks; the kilns vented their exhaust through a brick chimney about 16 m tall. The building’s shape, former use and chimney together tell the story of production: the structure accommodated two work processes, while the chimney was part of the kiln installation. For visitors interested in culture, its appeal lies in considering the historic architecture alongside its former craft function.
Cihelna Hříběcí offers guided tours of the historic brickworks. If a tour is important to your visit, check its availability in advance.
Ponds, walks and views
There are four ponds in Hříběcí. The large Horní Martínkův rybník is connected to Malý Martinkův rybník. By contrast, a walk is the main attraction at Návesní rybník: a paved path goes around the pond and is suitable for an enjoyable family walk. For planning, these are two different points of interest—a connection between two named bodies of water and a specific route for a walk. Path conditions may change; check them before your visit.
The banks of Horní rybník offer lovely, romantic views of Hříběcí. Holubcův rybník is another water-related attraction: a private fishing pond in Hříběcí. If you plan to visit the fishing pond, check the current conditions in advance.
Masopust and theatre
The traditional Masopustní průvod in Hříběcí was held again after a lengthy break; an edition is listed for 2026. If you choose the tradition as a reason for your trip, check the event dates in advance. A theatre evening with a specific date took place on 4 April 2025 at Hříběcká hospoda in Hříběcí: the amateur theatre group Hříběcké divadýlko performed “DVEŘE” by author Jan Zindulka. Masopust and theatre represent two different cultural experiences: a traditional procession and a single performance on a set date.
Plan your stay around your interests
When looking for a holiday apartment in Hribeci, you can first decide what you want to focus on during your trip. For the former brickworks, the availability of a guided tour matters; for Masopust, it is the event date. The path by Návesní rybník, on the other hand, offers a walk without a scheduled event. The planning considerations therefore vary according to your interests.
