Discover Štětkovice

Štětkovice brings together several different points of interest for planning a trip: plenty of greenery and several ponds, a flooded quarry, a cycling route, and attractions with sporting, religious and historical connections. When choosing where to stay, it may help to consider these interests separately. The quarry combines geological features with a diving attraction, while the park, château and chapel offer different themes. This gives you a concrete sense of which local highlights could shape your trip.

The train and bus provide an overview of connections between places, while the cycling route is defined by its course and crossing point. As route conditions and signage can change, check them before setting out on a bike ride.

Green surroundings and Bořená Hora

Štětkovice is considered a quiet place with plenty of greenery and several ponds. Bořená Hora, near Štětkovice, is a flooded quarry with rock walls up to eight metres high. They are made of Sedlčany-type granodiorite. The greenery and ponds give a broad impression of the local landscape; Bořená Hora can be described more precisely by its flooded state, rock walls and type of rock. Those interested in geology can connect the visible rock with its specific geological name.

Local attractions and activities

Modelářský domek is located in the centre of Štětkovice. Drama věků Park features sports facilities, a children's climbing structure and twelve religious stations. The twelve stations give the religious section a specific structure; alongside them, the sports facilities and children's climbing structure provide a focus on physical activity.

The main diving attraction in the Bořená Hora quarry is the wreck of an Mi-8 helicopter. Geology and diving offer two different perspectives on the same quarry: the rock walls and granodiorite on one hand, the wreck as a diving destination on the other. This makes Bořená Hora a particularly well-defined point of interest for travellers interested in rock formations or diving.

Château history and local art

The Baroque Štětkovice château was built in the first half of the 18th century on the site of an earlier fortress. This allows two historical layers to be distinguished at this location: the fortress as its predecessor and the later château. A statue of Saint John of Nepomuk stands by the chapel in Štětkovice. It adds a specific religious depiction to the local cultural heritage, while the château shapes the area's architectural history. A cultural stay therefore offers two distinct points of interest: the development of a building and the depiction of a saint in local art.
