Řehenice – Archaeology and Historical Traces

You can get to know Řehenice through its archaeological traces, historic building ensembles and specific opportunities for an active stay. A freely accessible table tennis table is also something you can take into account when planning your stay. This gives you a choice of different focuses: historical interests, a tour or a sporting activity.

Archaeological traces of Božešice–Bořešice

The Božešice–Bořešice archaeological site is located in the municipality of Řehenice, in the cadastral area of Babice u Řehenic. It is classified as an important archaeological site. Božešice–Bořešice was an abandoned village associated with a fortress. The village disappeared in the 15th century, and the later farmstead in the 17th century. The village and farmstead thus belong to two successive historical periods.

The site of Božešice Fortress lies in the northeastern part of a small pond and is clearly visible despite the dense vegetation. The connection between the fortress and the pond landscape gives the historical theme a spatial dimension, not just a chronological one. Those interested in earlier settlement will find both a specific history and a named landscape feature here.

Historic buildings and their names

The Křiváček roadside inn is designated as an immovable cultural monument, including its protected zone. The Dařbož manorial farmstead and the former Vavřetice brickworks are each designated as historically significant building ensembles in Řehenice. Their names point to different historical features: a farmstead and a former brickworks. Together with the history of the settlement and fortress, they offer several distinct points of interest for travelers interested in historic sites.

Křiváček is a small settlement on the transport route between Prague and Benešov. A road leading from Křiváček to Řehenice is lined with a cherry tree avenue. This identifies two different connections to the area: the settlement’s location on the transport route and the avenue along a road to Řehenice.

Hiking and sporting activities

An 8.5-kilometer hike follows a blue-marked trail via Gabrhele, Babice and Ládeves to the Ládví lookout tower and continues to Ládví. The trail’s length and markings, the named places and the lookout tower give you a clear framework for planning the tour. It is a separate theme from the historic buildings and archaeological history.

A table tennis table open to everyone free of charge is located in Řehenice by a fire pond; the municipality announced the facility in June 2026. It adds a sporting opportunity right in Řehenice to the historical themes and hiking. If exercise is part of your stay, you can make this activity a separate focus in your plans.

Find a hotel that suits your plans

When looking for a hotel in Řehenice, it helps to first decide what you want to focus on during your stay: the archaeological history, the named historic ensembles or a hike? These interests offer different criteria for your planning. Compare the location, amenities and availability of each hotel listing so your choice suits your specific plans.
